Chemistry

8 0

Answer:

See detailed explanation.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the International Prototype of the Kilogram (IPK) is an object  made of a platinum-iridium alloy that was used to define the magnitude of the mass of the kilogram as it weights 2.2 pounds or approximately 1 kg, yet it was replaced by a new definition of the kilogram based on physical constants. In such a way, it is important because it was the base for the current understanding of what a kilogram is and its relationship with other mass measurements.

Thus, if would not have existed, we were not be able to design and use balances or mass-measuring equipment in order to provide a reliable measure of the real mass of an object.

Best regards.

Why can water pass through sandstrone but not through shale
Valentin [98]
It really depends on the 'type' of rock it is. By this I mean whether it's impermeable or permeable. Impermeable rocks don't allow water through and permeable rocks do. It has to do with how 'porous' a rock is: how many openings it has and how spaced apart are its particles are. Sandstone is permeable and Shale impermeable.

What is the concentration of h+ ions in a solution of hydrochloric acid that was prepared by diluting 35.0 ml of concentrated (1
Alekssandra [29.7K]
Hydrochloric acid ionisation is as follows;
HCl ---> H⁺ + Cl⁻
HCl is a strong base so there's complete dissociation of acid to H⁺ ions
The number of HCl moles is equivalent to number of H⁺ ions present
1 L of solution contains - 11.6 moles of H⁺ ions
In 35 ml number of moles - 11.6 mol/L / 1000 ml x 35 ml = 0.406 mol
This number of moles are dissolved in 500 ml 
therefore molarity = 0.406 mol /500 ml x 1000 ml = 0.812 M
