Nitroglycerin is a dangerous powerful explosive that violently decomposes when it is shaken or dropped. The Swedish chemist Alfr

ed Nobel (1833-1896) founded the Nobel Prizes with a fortune he made by inventing dynamite, a mixture of nitroglycerin and inert ingredients that was safe to handle. 1. Write a balanced chemical equation, including physical state symbols, for the decomposition of liquid nitroglycerin () into gaseous dinitrogen, gaseous dioxygen, gaseous water and gaseous carbon dioxide. 2. Suppose of carbon dioxide gas are produced by this reaction, at a temperature of and pressure of exactly . Calculate the mass of nitroglycerin that must have reacted. Be sure your answer has the correct number of significant digits.

Answer:

4 C3H5N3O9 ------> 6N2 + O2 + 10H2O + 12CO2

Explanation:

Nitroglycerin has a chemical formula C3H5N3O9. The balanced chemical equation is as follows:

4 C3H5N3O9 ------> 6N2 + O2 + 10H2O + 12CO2

We suppose that in a reaction, 44g of carbon dioxide is produced. The mass of nitroglycerin that must have reacted will be calculated as under:

Molecular mass of Nitroglycerin = 227g/mol

Molecular mass of Carbon dioxide = 44g/mol

No. of moles of carbon dioxide produced = 44/44 = 1 mole produced.

Now, from balanced chemical equation, we can see that

12 moles of carbon dioxide are produced by = 4 moles of nitroglycerin.

1 mole of carbon dioxide is produced by = 4/12 = 1/3 moles of nitroglycerin.

Mass of nitroglycerin which produced 1 mole of carbon dioxide =  1/3 x 227 = 75.666 grams.

A dental assistant is preparing to use a chemical that has a number 2 in a blue triangle on the chemical label. Before using the
Effectus [21]

Labels must clearly identify the chemical and include information on its hazards, plus instructions and information on its safe storage, handling, use, and disposal.

What does the information on the chemical label indicate?

The chemical label indicates the following information.

Product Identifier: The method used to identify the chemical (in the ingredient disclosure). On the label, include the complete chemical name or number that is used for the hazardous product. Both the label and SDS must have the same information. Abbreviations for chemicals are not accepted.

Signal Words: Assigned to a GHS hazard class and category, "Danger" or "Warning" are used to underline hazards and show the relative level of severity of the hazard.

Danger Statements: Typical expressions that are associated with a hazard class and category and that define the hazard's characteristics. On a label, there must be mention of every danger that applies.

Precautionary Statements: A term that describes actions that should be performed to reduce or eliminate negative effects brought on by exposure to or inappropriate storage of a substance.

Symbols (hazard pictograms): Convey information about environmental, physical, and health hazards that are categorized and allocated to a GHS hazard class.

2. Problem: Is colored or black and white text more easily remembered? Hypothesis: If the text is colored, then the text is more
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

This question contains a lot of subsections. Please find the variables to each question below

Explanation:

Hypothesis is a testable explanation to a scientific question. It aims at proffering a testable solution to an observed problem. It usually goes in an IF, THEN format.

Dependent variable is the variable being measured in an experiment, while the independent variable is the variable that is manipulated or changed by the experimenter.

The control group is the group that does not receive the experimental treatment while constant is the variable that is kept unchanged for all groups in the experiment.

Based on this explanation, find the answers to the hypothesis, independent variable, dependent variable, constant, and control groups to each question.

2. Dependent variable: How easy it is to remember

Independent variable: Color of the text

Control: Group given Black and White text to read

Constants: Same text

3. Hypothesis: If the temperature is increased, THEN the speed of ants increases or move faster

Independent variable: TEMPERATURE

Dependent variable: SPEED OF ANTS

Control: Ants placed in room temperature

Constants: SAME KIND OF ANTS

4. Hypothesis: IF the pH of the soil is acidic or alkaline, THEN the growth of strawberries will be inhibited

Independent variable: pH of soil

Dependent variable: Growth of strawberries

Control: Strawberries grown in a Neutral pH soil

Constants: Same type of plants (strawberries)

5. Hypothesis: IF caffeine is taken, then the blood pressure will be increased or raised.

Independent variable: CAFFEINE

Dependent variable: BLOOD PRESSURE

Control: Group given no caffeine

Constants: Same amount of caffeine

6. Hypothesis: IF music is played, THEN the heart rate increases

Independent variable: MUSIC

Dependent variable: HEART RATE

Control: Groups placed where no music is played

Constants: Same type of music, same time music runs for etc.

7. Hypothesis: IF bleach is present/used, THEN bacteria will die

Independent variable: Bleach

Dependent variable: Death of bacteria

Control: Bacteria given no bleach

Constants: Same species of bacteria, Same type of bleach

Which of the following elements is the least reactive metal? Sodium, Rubidium, Chlorine, and Magnesium.​
LuckyWell [14K]
First off chlorine is not a metal so you can ignore that one.

Sodium and Rubidium are in group 1 of the periodic table and Magnesium is in group 2.

Group one metals are more reactive than group two because it is harder for the group two metals to lose their 2 valence (outer most) electrons.

As you go down group 1 there is an increase in the reactivity this is because as you go down there is an increase in the atomic radius which leads to more shielding. This weakens the electrostatic forces of attraction making it easier to lose the outermost electrons, therefore they are more reactive.

Which of the following are functions of the ears?
Advocard [28]

The functions of the ears are:

I. Hearing by collecting and processing sound waves

II. Keeping our balance when we turn or bend over; option A

<h3>What is the function of the ear?</h3>

The ear is one of the five sense organs in the body.

The sense organs are the organs which receive external stimulus and send it to the brain for processing and response.

The other sense organs are:

  • the eye
  • the nose
  • the skin
  • the tongue

The functions of the ear are for hearing and for balance.

In conclusion, the sense organs function to receive stimulus and send them to the brain.
