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)

A spectator ion is (Select all that apply.) a. an ionic component of a reactant that is unchanged by the reaction your eye, b. c

DENIUS [597]

Correct Question:

A spectator ion is (Select all that apply.)

- a piece of french fry contaminating the reaction mixture

- an ionic component of a reactant that is unchanged by the reaction

-in this experiment, nitrate ion

- your eye, carefully watching the progress of the reaction

Answer:

- an ionic component of a reactant that is unchanged by the reaction

Explanation:

A spectator ion is an ion that exists as a reactant and a product in a chemical equation. A spectator ion is one that exists in the same form on both the reactant and product sides of a chemical reaction.

Spectator ions are ions that are present in a solution but don't take part in the reaction. When reactants dissociate into ions, some of the ions may combine to form a new compound. The other ions don't take part in this chemical reaction and are therefore called spectator ions.

The correct option is therefore the option;

- an ionic component of a reactant that is unchanged by the reaction

Name the cycloalkanes with molecular formula c6h12 that have a 3-membered ring and two substituents.

Tanzania [10]

Answer:

1-ethyl-2-methyl cyclopropane.

Explanation:

The structure of the molecule will be as shown in the attached image.

The molecular formula of the compound is C₆H₁₂.

It has 3 membered ring with 3 C atoms and two substituents one of them with one C atom (methyl) and the other with 2 C atoms (ethyl).

The ring consist of 3 C atoms, so its name is cyclo propane.

We numbering the atoms of the ring that give the ethyl substituent the low no. (1) and then methyl group take no. (2).

<em>Thus, the name of the compound is 1-ethyl-2-methyl cyclopropane.</em>

Charles's law is an experimental gas law that shows the relationship between the temperature of a gas and its corresponding volu

iren [92.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is (b)

Explanation:

Charles law describes the behavior of gases when heated. Charles law states that the volume of a given mass of gas would increase as its Kelvin temperature increases provided the pressure is held constant. That is the volume of a given mass of gas is directly proportional to its Kelvin temperature at constant pressure
