Specific gravity is a number representing the ratio of a mineral's weight to the weight of an equal volume of water. TRUE FALSE

Chemistry

3 0

Answer: True

Explanation: Specific Gravity of a body, also called its Relative Density, is the ratio of the density of that body to the density of a reference material (usually water).

With the Mathematics done right, it is evident that the specific gravity of a body would be equal to the ratio of mass/weight of the body to the mass/weight of an equal volume of water.

S.G = (Density of body)/(Density of water)

Density of Body = (mass/weight of body)/(volume of body)

Density of water = (mass/weight of water)/(volume of water)

If volume of Body = Volume of water, then,

S.G = (Mass/Weight of body)/(Mass/Weight of equal volume of water)

Physical reactions of carbonyl group​
docker41 [41]

Answer:

The polarity of the carbonyl group notably affects the physical properties of melting point and boiling point, solubility, and dipole moment. Hydrocarbons, compounds consisting of only the elements hydrogen and carbon, are essentially nonpolar and thus have low melting and boiling points.

Write a sentence that descrices how to determine the number of moles of a compound in known mass of a
sattari [20]

Explanation:

<u>Moles is denoted by given mass divided by the molecular mass ,  </u>

Hence ,  

n = w / m

n = moles ,  

w = given mass ,  

m = molecular mass .

For example ,

For  a compound X ,

The given mass i.e. w = 20 g

and the molecular mass ,i.e. , m = 10 g / mol

Then the moles can easily be calculated by using the above formula ,

n = w / m

n = 20 g / 10 g/mol = 2 mol

Hence , answer = 2 mol.

What is the total number of moles (n) of electrons exchanged between the oxidizing agent and the reducing agent in the overall r
Sergeu [11.5K]
Answer:
             5 moles of electrons

Explanation:

The balance equation is as follow,

<span>                   5 Ag</span>⁺ + Mn⁺²<span> + 4 H</span>₂O    →<span>    5 Ag + MnO</span>₄⁻<span> + 8 H</span>⁺

Reduction of Ag:

                         Ag⁺ + 1 e⁻    →    Ag
Or,
                         5 Ag⁺  +  5 e⁻    →    5 Ag

Oxidation of Mn:

                          Mn⁺²   →    MnO₄⁻  +  5 e⁻

Result:
          Hence 5 moles of Ag⁺ accepts 5 electrons from 1 mole of Mn⁺².

1. A scientific hypothesis can become a theory if ______.
Rus_ich [418]
<span>1. A scientific hypothesis can become a theory if the hypothesis is tested extensively and competing hypothesis are eliminated. A scientific hypothesis is a proposed explanation made on the basis of reasoning without any assumption. For hypothesis to be termed a scientific hypothesis, it has to be something that can be supported or refuted through carefully crafted experimentation or observation.

  2. A preliminary untested explanation that tries to explain how or why thing happen in the manner observed is a scientific hypothesis. A primary trait of a hypothesis is that something can be tested and that those tests can be replicated. A hypothesis is often examined by multiples scientists to ensure the integrity and veracity of the experiment. The process can take years, and in many cases hypothesis do not go any further in the scientific method as it is difficult to gather sufficient supporting evidence. </span>
