if we are made of stardust, does that make you feel more or less important as an individual (or just the same), and why?

We Are Stardust—Literally. In this infrared image, stellar winds from a giant star cause interstellar dust to form ripples. There's a whole lot of dust—which contains oxygen, carbon, iron, nickel, and all the other elements—out there, and eventually some of it finds its way into our bodies.

What is the net ionic equation for the reaction that occurs when aqueous solutions of koh and zncl2 are mixed?
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

Net ionic equation:

Zn²⁺(aq)  +   2OH⁻(aq)     →    Zn(OH)₂(s)

Explanation:

Chemical equation:

ZnCl₂ + KOH    →   KCl  + Zn(OH)₂

Balanced chemical equation:

ZnCl₂ + 2KOH    →   2KCl  +Zn(OH)₂

Ionic equation;

Zn²⁺(aq)  + 2Cl⁻(aq)  + 2K⁺(aq)  +  2OH⁻(aq)     →   2K⁺(aq)  + 2Cl⁻(aq)   +Zn(OH)₂(s)

Net ionic equation:

Zn²⁺(aq)  +   2OH⁻(aq)     →    Zn(OH)₂(s)

The K⁺  and Cl⁻  are spectator ions that's why these are not written in net ionic equation. The  Zn(OH)₂ can not be splitted into ions because it is present in solid form.

Spectator ions:

These ions are same in both side of chemical reaction. These ions are cancel out. Their presence can not effect the equilibrium of reaction that's why these ions are omitted in net ionic equation.

Charcoal found under a stone at Stonehenge, England, has a carbon-14 activity that is 0.60 that of new wood. How old is the char
kenny6666 [7]

Charcoal with a carbon-14 activity of 0.60 compared to new wood has less than 5,730 years.

<h3>What is a radioactive isotope?</h3>

A radioactive isotope is an element in nature that emit radioactivity in a given period of time (e.g., the half-life for C14 is equal to 5,730 years).

Radioactive dating is a technique to measure the age of an element by measuring its radioactive activity.

In conclusion, charcoal with a carbon-14 activity of 0.60 compared to new wood has less than 5,730 yr.

Using the periodic tables, identify the heaviest member of each of the following groups:
Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

(a) Alkali metals: Francium (Fr)

(b) Chalcogens: Polonium (Po)

(c) Noble gases: Radon (Rn)

(d) Alkaline earth metals: Radium (Ra)

Explanation:

In the periodic table, the atomic mass increases down the group. Therefore, the last element of a group is the heaviest element of the group.

(a) alkali metals: The chemical elements that are present in group 1 of the periodic table, except hydrogen.

<u>The heaviest member of this group is francium (Fr)</u>

(b) chalcogens: The chemical elements that are present in group 16 of the periodic table

<u>The heaviest member of this group is polonium (Po)</u>

(c) noble gases:  The chemical elements that are present in group 18 of the periodic table

<u>The heaviest member of this group is radon (Rn)</u>

(d) alkaline earth metals: The chemical elements that are present in group 2 of the periodic table.

<u>The heaviest member of this group is radium (Ra)</u>

Atoms join together to form compounds bt gaining,loosing or sharing ​
user100 [1]

Answer:

the answer is C) sharing

Explanation:

positive ions & negative ions form when atom s lose or gain electrons. Covalent bonds form when atoms share electrons.Metallic bonds form by the attraction of metal ions and the electrons around them. Covalent compounds form when atoms of elements share electrons.

A student conducts an experiment to determine how the temperature of water affects the time for sugar to dissolve. In each trial
V125BC [204]

The fact that the student used different amount of water (another independent variable) is wrong with the experimental design

WHAT ARE THE COMPONENTS OF AN EXPERIMENT?

  • An experiment aims at solving a scientific problem or answering a scientific question. An experiment should contain a variable being changed called INDEPENDENT VARIABLE and a variable being measured called DEPENDENT VARIABLE.

  • In an ideal experiment, only one independent variable should be used while every other variable should be kept constant. This is done so as not to affect the result of the experiment.

In the experiment conducted by the student in this question, two independent variables were used i.e. the different amount of water and the different temperatures. This is what is wrong about the experimental design.

  • In a nutshell, the fact that two independent variables were used by the student is what is wrong about the experimental design.
