<span>Pass the mixture through filter paper. The large particles in the suspension will filter out. to tell the difference between a solution and a colloid, shine a beam of light through the mixture, if it reflects then it is a colloid, if it doesn't then it is a solution</span>

PLEASE HELP!!!
NNADVOKAT [17]

When you are collecting DNA, you could be looking for a few different things. A few examples could be skin cells, strands of hair, or possibly even a fingernail. Anything that comes from a person, including blood or saliva can be potential DNA that could help investigators to link a person back to a crime.

Investigators do not need a warrant for analyzing crime scenes due to the fact of the dangers of the fire. You must work quickly because accelerants tend to evaporate within days, sometimes hours. It is also important to note that finding the origin of the fire is very important, to make sure it won't be reignited. Debris is usually cleaned away quickly to ensure health and safety issues.

The point of origin of a fire is the lowest point, since fire burns upwards.

High explosive: Ignite almost instantly, like dynamite and TNT. Two different types are primary and secondary.

<em>Primary: easily ignited, very sensitive to heat and friction. often used to ignite other explosives. </em>

<em>Secondary: much less sensitive to heat and friction, might be ignited using other explosive materials. TNT and dynamite are both secondary. </em>

Low explosive: decompose slowly and include black and smokeless powder. They are the most common type of explosives, and are readily available.

3.5g of a Certain compound X, known to be made of carbon, hydrogen, and perhaps oxygen, and to have a molecular molar mass of 15
shutvik [7]

Answer:

C₅H₁₀O₅

Explanation:

1. Calculate the mass of each element in 2.78 mg of X.

(a) Mass of C

\text{Mass of C} = \text{5.13 g CO}_{2}\times \dfrac{\text{12.01 g C}}{\text{44.01 g }\text{CO}_{2}}= \text{1.400 g C}

(b) Mass of H

\text{Mass of H} = \text{2.10 g H$_{2}$O}\times \dfrac{\text{2.016 g H}}{\text{18.02 g H$_{2}$O}} = \text{0.2349 g H}

(c) Mass of O

Mass of O = 3.5 - 1.400 - 0.2349 = 1.87 g

2. Calculate the moles of each element

\text{Moles of C = 1400  mg C}\times\dfrac{\text{1 mmol C}}{\text{12.01 mg C }} = \text{116.6 mmol C}\\\\\text{Moles of H = 234.9 mg H} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mmol H}}{\text{1.008 mg H}} = \text{233.1 mmol H}\\\\\text{Moles of O = 1870 mg O} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mmol O}}{\text{16.00 mg O}} = \text{116 mmol O}

3. Calculate the molar ratios

Divide all moles by the smallest number of moles.

\text{C: } \dfrac{116.6}{116.6}= 1\\\\\text{H: } \dfrac{233.1}{116.6} = 1.999\\\\\text{O: } \dfrac{116}{116.6} = 1.00

4. Round the ratios to the nearest integer

C:H:O = 1:2:1

5. Write the empirical formula

The empirical formula is CH₂O.

6. Calculate the molecular formula.

EF Mass = (12.01 + 2.016  + 16.00) u  = 30.03 u

The molecular formula is an integral multiple of the empirical formula.

MF = (EF)ₙ

n = \dfrac{\text{MF Mass}}{\text{EF Mass }} = \dfrac{\text{150 u}}{\text{30.03 u}} = 5.00  \approx 5

MF = (CH₂O)₅ = C₅H₁₀O₅

The molecular formula of X is C₅H₁₀O₅.

Write the equation for the reaction described: A solid metal oxide, Ag2O, and hydrogen are the products of the reaction between
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

2Ag + H2O -----> Ag2O + 2H

Explanation:

2Ag + H2O -----> Ag2O + 2H is the equation of the reaction between metal and steam. Silver reacts with water (steam) forming silver oxide and hydrogen gas. When the metals react with steam it produces the solid metal oxide and hydrogen gas. On the surface o metals, a protective layer of aluminium oxide is formed that keeps water away from the metal so we can say that silver oxide and hydrogen are formed from the reaction of silver metal and steam.
