Answer:

B is a precipitation reaction.

Explanation:

This is because a precipitation reaction is when a solid is made from the combination of cations and anions in a solution to create a solid.

Answer:

b. $2 NaI_{(aq)} + Hg_2(NO3)_{2(aq)} ---> Hg_2I_{2(s)} + 2 NaNO_{3(aq)}$

Explanation:

<em>Precipitation reaction is a form of chemical reaction in which an insoluble salt (a precipitate) is formed from an aqueous mixture of two soluble salts.</em>

This thus means that:

The two reactants in a precipitate reaction must be in aqueous forms
At least, one of the products must be a solid (precipitate)

From all the options, only option b fulfills the conditions for a precipitate reaction.

The correct answer is b.

Giselle is working with a chemical substance in a laboratory. She observes that when the chemical is heated, it gives off a gas.

Phoenix [80]

The correct answer is option B, that is, hypothesis.

A hypothesis refers to an anticipated illustration for an occurrence. It refers to a proposed illustration or a supposition made on the groundwork of inadequate proof as an initiation point for further investigation. In order for a hypothesis to be a scientific hypothesis, the scientific method needs that one can examine it.

A movable piston traps 0.205 moles of an ideal gas in a vertical cylinder. If the piston slides without friction in the cylinder

Mazyrski [523]

Answer : The work done on the gas will be, 418.4 J

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the volume at 270°C.

$PV_1=nRT$

where,

P = pressure of gas = 1 atm

$V_1$ = volume of gas = ?

T = temperature of gas = $270^oC=273+270=543K$

n = number of moles of gas = 0.205 mol

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K

Now put all the given values in the ideal gas equation, we get:

$(1atm)\times V_1=0.205mol\times 0.0821L.atm/mol.K\times 543K$

$V_1=9.12L$

Now we have to calculate the volume at 24°C.

$PV_2=nRT$

where,

P = pressure of gas = 1 atm

$V_2$ = volume of gas = ?

T = temperature of gas = $24^oC=273+24=297K$

n = number of moles of gas = 0.205 mol

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L.atm/mol.K

Now put all the given values in the ideal gas equation, we get:

$(1atm)\times V_2=0.205mol\times 0.0821L.atm/mol.K\times 297K$

$V_2=4.99L$

Now we have to calculate the work done.

Formula used :

$w=-p\Delta V\\\\w=-p(V_2-V_1)$

where,

w = work done

p = pressure of the gas = 1 atm

$V_1$ = initial volume = 9.12 L

$V_2$ = final volume = 4.99 L

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

$w=-p(V_2-V_1)$

$w=-(1atm)\times (4.99-9.12)L$

$w=4.13L.artm=4.13\times 101.3J=418.4J$

conversion used : (1 L.atm = 101.3 J)

Therefore, the work done on the gas will be, 418.4 J

How do we know what the temperature of the Earth was in the past?

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

How do we know what the temperature of the Earth was in the past? - One way to measure past temperatures is to study ice cores. Whenever snow falls, small bubbles filled with atmospheric gases get trapped within it. In some places, so much snow falls that the older layers become buried and compressed into ice, locking away air bubbles in ice sheets and glaciers

What is the relationship between CO2 (carbon dioxide) and temperature on Earth? - When the carbon dioxide concentration goes up, temperature goes up. When the carbon dioxide concentration goes down, temperature goes down.

What is the greenhouse effect? - the trapping of the sun's warmth in a planet's lower atmosphere, due to the greater transparency of the atmosphere to visible radiation from the sun than to infrared radiation emitted from the planet's surface.

Why are global sea levels rising? - Global warming is causing global mean sea level to rise in two ways. First, glaciers and ice sheets worldwide are melting and adding water to the ocean. Second, the volume of the ocean is expanding as the water warms.

When non metals form ions what ions do they tend to form?

Maurinko [17]

Non-metals have a larger number of outer electrons called valence electrons. Therefore, it is easier for them to "steal" valance electrons from other elements with fewer valence electrons(usually metals)

For example, Chlorine(Cl) has 7 ve-. When forming an ion it will steal one electron from a metal. and gain a charge of -1. Because the ion is NEGATIVELY charged, it will be called an anion.

Nonmetals form anions.

Vocab:
cation: Paws-itively charged ions (get it? because its a CAT ion?)
anion: negatively charged ions
