Answer:

The correct answer is option A, An antacid neutralizes excess hydrogen ions.

Explanation:

Antacid neutralizes the acid in the stomach. These are bases/ alkali's. The reaction between an acid and a base in known as neutralization thereby reducing burning sensations produced by the acid.  

The antacid when reaches the stomach form gel like composition that lie on the top of food item in the stomach and prevent the oesophagus from the irritation caused by the acid.

Stels [109]
The melting of polar ice is one effect of the greenhouse effect, or also global warming.

The greenhouse effect, as defined by Merriam-Webster, is "the <span>warming of the surface and lower atmosphere of a planet (as Earth or Venus) that is caused by conversion of solar radiation into heat in a process involving selective transmission of short wave solar radiation by the atmosphere, its absorption by the planet's surface, and reradiation as infrared which is absorbed and partly reradiated back to the surface by atmospheric gases".

In short, "</span>the warming of the surface and lower atmosphere of a planet".

A 1.0-gram sample of solid iodine is placed in a tube and the tube is sealed after all of the air is removed. The tube and the s
Anarel [89]

Answer:

weight of sealed tube that is filled with iodine gas is 27 gm

Explanation:

As tube is closed therefore mole of gas is enclosed in a tube, thus it will only converted into gas ( Iodine Gas). In the gas form it will going to exert pressure on the wall of a tube. From conservation of mass principle weight of tube remain same, there will be no change in the weight of gas. therefore weight of sealed tube that is filled with iodine gas is 27 gm

A 20-kilogram child is riding on a 10-kg sled over a frictionless icy surface at 8.0 meters per second. Calculate the kinetic en
Veseljchak [2.6K]

Answer:

K = 960 J

Explanation:

Given that,

Mass of a child = 20 kg

Mass of a sled = 10 kg

Speed of child on sled = 8 m/s

We need to find the kinetic energy of the sled with the child.

The total mass of child and the sled = 20 kg + 10 kg

= 30 kg

The formula for the kinetic energy of an object is given by :

K=\dfrac{1}{2}mv^2\\\\K=\dfrac{1}{2}\times 30\times (8)^2\\\\K=960\ J

Hence, the kinetic energy of the sled with the child is 960 J.

A photographer wants to determine the color of light he can use in the darkroom that will not expose the films he is processing.
Sonbull [250]

For a photographer that wishes to determine the color of light that he can use in a dark room that will not expose the films he is processing, having used a Blue Incandescent bulb, he should proceed to use a Red Incandescent bulb for the next trial.

The photographer in question is performing an experiment. For these kinds of experiments it is important to identify the variables present, which can be of three kinds:

  1. Control variables
  2. Dependent variables
  3. Independent variables

For this experiment, the dependent variable is the exposure of the light onto the films, given that this is what we wish to measure. The independent variable will be the color of the light being used which is what will affect the dependent variable.

The remaining variable must be the control variable. Unlike the previous variables, we can have more than one of these. The control variable is there to make sure that only the dependent variable is affecting the outcome. We do this by keeping the control variable the same through each trial, which is why the photographer should not change the type of bulb in the second experiment, changing only the color of the light.
