The substance doesn't have a specific name. We just say that that substance is being reduced. Remember this mnemonic - OILRIG where "Oxidation is Loss, Reduction is Gain" of electrons.

A 225 g sample of an unknown solid is heated 67C and placed into a calorimeter containing 25.6 g of water at 15.6°c. If the fina
Stella [2.4K]

Answer:

= 1.271 J/g°C

Explanation:

Heat released by the metal sample will be equivalent to the heat absorbed by  water.

But heat = mass × specific heat capacity × temperature change

Thus;

Heat released by the solid;

= 225 g × c ×(67 -53) , where c is the specific heat capacity of the metal

= 3150 c joules

Heat absorbed by water;

= 25.6 g × 4.18 J/g°C × (53-15.6)

= 4002.0992  joules

Therefore;

3150 c joules = 4002.0992 joules

c =4002.0992/3150

 <u> = 1.271 J/g°C</u>

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

Q9. The independent variable in this experiment is the fertilizer. It is independent because she manipulating the variable to compare the growth.

Q10. The dependent variable in this experiment is the amount of growth of the corn. It is this because the growth depends on what the scientist did on the corn.

Q11. The variable controlled in this experiment is the amount of sun and water. These two variables never change so this is why it is the control.

What happens in the redox reaction below? Select all that apply.
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

B- Sodium loses an electron.

D- Fluorine gains an electron.

Sodium is oxidized.

Explanation:

The reaction equation is given as:

        Na  + F →  NaF

In this reaction, Na is the reducing agent. It loses an electron and then becomes oxidized. By so doing, Na becomes isoelectronic with Neon.

Fluorine gains the electron and then becomes reduced. This makes fluorine also isoelectronic with Neon.

This separation of charges on the two species leads to an electrostatic attraction which forms the ionic bonds.

Which solution is a homogeneous mixture? sand and water salt and water salad dressing soil
Over [174]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A solution whose constituent particles are uniformly distributed in the solution  is known as a homogeneous solution.

In a homogeneous solution, particles of one solute completely dissolves in the solvent. This solution is also known a true solution.

When sand and water are mixed together then after a certain interval of time sand particles will settle at the bottom. Therefore, they do not dissolve in water. So, it is not a homogeneous solution.

When salt and water are mixed together then the salt particles will dissolve in water. Therefore, it is a homogeneous solution.

Salad dressing is not a homogeneous solution as it contains different solutions like oil, lemon juice etc which does not dissolve when mixed together.

On the other hand, soil is also not a homogeneous solution because we can visualize the distinct layers present in a soil. These layers when mixed in a solution does not dissolve so they did not form a homogeneous solution.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, salt and water is a homogeneous mixture.
