Answer:

Vinegar is acidic => acetic acid (HC₂H₃O₂)

Explanation:

Vinegar consists of acetic acid (HC₂H₃O₂), water and trace amounts of other chemicals, which may include flavorings. The concentration of the acetic acid is variable. Distilled vinegar contains 5-8% acetic acid.

When heating a solution to boiling on a hot plate, start by ___________. Then, turn the heat to ___________to start. If necessar

Aleonysh [2.5K]

Answer:

1. starting and stabilizing the stir function

2. a medium heat

3.turn up the heat setting

Explanation:

A chemical reaction can be defined as a chemical process which typically involves the transformation or rearrangement of the atomic, ionic or molecular structure of an element through the breakdown and formation of chemical bonds to produce a new compound or substance.

Some of the laboratory apparatus (equipment) used for conducting a chemical reaction are conical flask, Bunsen burner, beaker, tongs, crucible, round bottom flask etc.

When heating a solution to boiling on a hot plate, start by starting and stabilizing the stir function. Then, turn the heat to a medium heat to start. If necessary, turn up the heat setting after waiting about ten minutes without seeing boiling.

The safety precautions that must be taken when heating a solution to boiling on a hot plate;

I. A proper inspection of the round bottom flask for cracks, irregularities or any imperfection.

II. Ensure you avoid heating the flask while it is closed.

III. When suspending the flask on a hot plate, you should ensure that you use a clamp for stability.

A freezer compartment is covered with a 2-mm-thick layer of frost at the time it malfunctions. If the compartment is in ambient

ruslelena [56]

Answer:

The time required to melt the frost is 3.25 hours.

Explanation:

The time required to melt the frost dependes on the latent heat of the frost and the amount of heat it is transfered by convection to the air .

The heat transferred per unit area can be expressed as:

$q=h_c*A*\Delta T\\\\q/A=h_c*\Delta T$

being hc the convective heat transfer coefficient (2 Wm^-2K^-1) and ΔT the difference of temperature (20-0=20 °C or K).

$q/A=h_c*\Delta T=2\frac{W}{m^2K}*20K=40\frac{W}{m^2}$

If we take 1 m^2 of ice, with 2 mm of thickness, we have this volume

$V=T*A = 0.002 m * 1 m^2=0.002m^3$

The mass of the frost can be estimated as

$M=\rho * V=700\frac{kg}{m^3}*0.002m^3= 1.4 kg$

Then, the amount of heat needed to melt this surface (1 m²) of frost is

$Q=L*M=334\frac{kJ}{kg}*1.4kg= 467.6kJ$

The time needed to melt the frost can be calculated as

$t=\frac{Q}{(q/A)}=\frac{467.6kJ/m2}{40W/m2} = 11.69\frac{kJ}{W}*\frac{1W*s}{1J}*\frac{1000J}{1kJ}= 11690s=3.25h$

Identify the following as either a chemical symbol or a chemical formula. CO Co W Be HI

Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

CO is the chemical formula for carbon monoxide.

Co is the chemical symbol for cobalt.

W is the chemical symbol for tungsten.

Be is the chemical symbol for beryllium.

HI is the chemical formula for hydrogen iodide.

Explanation:

Chemical symbols are either written as a single uppercase letter (ex. O) or an uppercase letter and a lowercase letter (ex. Na).

Chemicals can be anything else! For example CO or even somthing like LiIO.

Explain why even though it may be sunny outside its not as warm during the summer

Lapatulllka [165]

For part of our orbit the northern half of Earth is tilted toward the Sun. This is summer in the northern hemisphere; there are longer periods of daylight, the Sun is higher in the sky, and the Sun's rays strike the surface more directly, giving us warmer temperatures.
