Explanation:

An observation that can be counted is known as quantitative observation. On the other hand, an observation that does not contain any numerical data is known as non-quantitative observation.

Therefore, given observations are classified as follows.

(a) The Sun rises in the east - It is a non-quantitative observation as it cannot be measured.

(b) A person weighs one-sixth as much on the Moon as on Earth - It is a quantitative observation as it can be measured because we know the mass of moon. Hence, we can find out the weight of person.

(c) Ice floats on water - It is a non-quantitative observation as it cannot be measured.

(d) A hand pump cannot draw water from a well more than 34 ft deep _ It is a quantitative observation because it is measure that more than 34 ft deep water cannot be drawn by the pump.

Why don't some people want a relationship with God?

mr_godi [17]

Some fear that they won't be able to have fun anymore if they accept God, some are afraid of what others might think of them if they accept God, some think they are too messed up to have a relationship with God, and the list goes on and on. Who knows why someone would refuse.
Hope this helps~!

Strike anywhere matches contain the compound tetraphosphorus trisulfide, which burns to form tetraphosphorus decaoxide and sulfu

erica [24]

Answer:

194.6 mL of SO₂

Explanation:

The reaction that takes place is:

P₄S₃ + 6O₂(g) → P₄O₁₀ + 3SO₂(g)

<u>To solve this problem we need to use PV=nRT</u>, so first let's convert the given units:

23.8 °C → 23.8 + 273.15 = 296.95 K

747 torr → 747/760 = 0.983 atm

We need to calculate V, so in order to do that we calculate n, using the mass of the reactant (P₄S₃):

0.576 g P₄S₃ * $\frac{1molP_{4}S_{3}}{220gP_{4}S_{3}} *\frac{3molSO_{2}}{1molP_{4}S_{3}}$ = 7.85 * 10⁻³ mol SO₂ = n

Now we calculate V:

PV=nRT

0.983 atm * V = 7.85 * 10⁻³ mol * 0.082 atm·L·mol⁻¹·K⁻¹ * 296.95 K

V = 0.1946 L

Finally we convert L into mL:

0.1946 * 1000 = 194.6 mL

Why do different materials/objects have different reactions to fire?

True [87]

Answer:

Different compounds react with oxygen differently – some contain lots of heat energy while others produce a smaller amount. The reaction with the oxygen may happen very quickly or more slowly. Amount: The amount of fuel available to burn is known as the fuel load.
