What would indicate that a physical change takes place when copper is drawn into wire?
Lina20 [59]

Any change in which the composition of material does not change that is it retains its identity but changes its state or form is known as a physical change.

The properties of metal to draw them into wires is known as ductility.  When a copper is drawn into wire the only change that occurs is change in its shape and size no change will take place into its composition that is the wires are still possessing the properties of copper metal. Thus, a physical change takes place when copper is drawn into wire.

1. It has been suggested that pain results from a change in the pH of solutions that surround nerves in the body.
Akimi4 [234]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

According to the question, it is established that the pain caused by a lot of insect bites owes to the acidity of the insect bites.

If this is true, then there is an urgent need to neutralize the acidic insect bite using a basic substance.

Hence the pH of the creams used to treat insect bites should be basic(having a high pH).

2. The compound methene can not exist because it is supposed to be derived from the alkane called methane which contains only one carbon atom.

In order to form an alkene, there must be a double bond between two carbon atoms. This is not possible because there is only one carbon atom in the hypothetical methene. Hence,  a compound named methene cannot exist.

1. Marisa determined the melting point of a substance to be 24.5C. Find the percent error of her measurement if the actual melti
USPshnik [31]

Answer:

\%\ Error = 21.5\%

Explanation:

Given

Measured = 24.5

Actual = 31.2

Required

Determine the percentage error

First, we need to determine the difference in the measurement

Difference = |Actual - Measured|

Difference = |31.2 - 24.5|

Difference = |6.7|

Difference = 6.7

The percentage error is calculated as thus:

\%\ Error = \frac{Difference * 100\%}{Actual}

\%\ Error = \frac{6.7 * 100\%}{31.2}

\%\ Error = \frac{670\%}{31.2}

\%\ Error = 21.4743589744\%

\%\ Error = 21.5\% <em>approximated</em>

Key terms: Reset Stereoisomers that are not mirror images of each are ____________ . The chemical and physical properties of two
sergejj [24]

Answer:

Enantiomers/ Isomers/ Stereoisomers/ Meso compounds/ Constitutional isomers/ Diastereomers.

Explanation:

Isomers are molecules that have the same chemical formula but have different conformation, or in its connections, or the orientation in space. Isomers have different chemical and physical properties (second blank).

The isomers that only differ by the orientation of their atoms in space are called stereoisomers (third blank).

The stereoisomers that have a chiral carbon and do not mirror images of each are called enantiomers (first blank). They can deviate the polarized light.

When a compound has two or more chiral carbons but they compensate for the deviation of the light, and the compound is optically inactive, it's called a meso compound (fourth blank).

When the isomers differ in the way the atoms are connected it's called a constitutional isomer (fifth blank).

When the molecule has more than one chiral carbon, it will have pairs of enantiomers. The isomers that aren't of the same pair are nonsuperimposable mirror images of each other and are called diastereomers (last blank).

How many grams are in 11.9 moles of chromium?
raketka [301]

Explanation:

It is known that one mole of chromium or molar mass of chromium is 51.99 g/mol.

It is given that number of moles is 11.9 moles.

Therefore, calculate the mass of chromium in grams as follows.

     No. of moles = \frac{mass in grams}{Molar mass}

    mass in grams = No. of moles × Molar mass

                             = 11.9 moles × 51.99 g/mol

                             = 618.68 g

Thus, we can conclude that there are 618.68 g in 11.9 moles of chromium.
