The term "atom" comes from the Greek word for indivisible, because it was once thought that atoms were the smallest things in the universe and could not be divided. We now know that atoms are made up of three particles: protons, neutrons and electrons — which are composed of even smaller particles, such as quarks
Answer:
Over the last century the burning of fossil fuels like coal and oil has increased the concentration of atmospheric carbon dioxide (CO2). This happens because the coal or oil burning process combines carbon with oxygen in the air to make CO2. as u know decreasing means going down and increasing means going up. the reason why things decrease means something went wrong or something to happen to make it go down we all try to make things increase which means we try to make things go up instead of down. a lot of reasons is y things decrease is bc during the period of time something might go wrong or happen in a bad way that makes a lot of things decrease. for example like temperature when the temperature decreases it means it goes down and it might get cold but if the temperature increases it goes up so it might be ht or warm or maybe even cool. if something ever decreases it means during the period of time something bad happened and made it go down instead of up if something ever goes wrong that means something decreased. sometimes decreasing could be a good thing but most of the time it it bad but there are sometimes when decreasing is good but not all the time.
First, find the volume the solution needs to be diluted to in order to have the desired molarity:
You have to use the equation M₁V₁=M₂V₂ when ever dealing with dilutions.
M₁=the starting concentration of the solution (in this case 2.6M)
V₁=the starting volume of the solution (in this case 0.035L)
M₂=the concentration we want to dilute to (in this case 1.2M)
V₂=the volume of solution needed for the dilution (not given)
Explaining the reasoning behind the above equation:
MV=moles of solute (in this case KCl) because molarity is the moles of solute per Liter of solution so by multiplying the molarity by the volume you are left with the moles of solute. The moles of solute is a constant since by adding solvent (in this case water) the amount of solute does not change. That means that M₁V₁=moles of solute=M₂V₂ and that relationship will always be true in any dilution.
Solving for the above equation:
V₂=M₁V₁/M₂
V₂=(2.6M×0.035L)/1.2M
V₂=0.0758 L
That means that the solution needs to be diluted to 75.8mL to have a final concentration of 1.2M.
Second, Finding the amount of water needed to be added:
Since we know that the volume of the solution was originally 35mL and needed to be diluted to 75.8mL to reach the desired molarity, to find the amount of solvent needed to be added all you do is V₂-V₁ since the difference in the starting volume and final volume is equal to the volume of solvent added.
75.8mL-35mL=40.8mL
40.8mL of water needs to be added
I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.
Good luck on your quiz!
