Bill, a lab technician, was asked to measure out sodium hydroxide (NaOH) for an experiment in a research lab. He was given a cho

ice between a beaker, a graduated cylinder, and a buret (shown left). Bill used a graduated cylinder to measure the liquid NaOH because he says, “a graduated cylinder is the most accurate way to measure a liquid!” Do you agree or disagree with Bill? Use significant figures to justify your answer.

Answer:

He is wrong . Most accurate is Buret .

Explanation:

The number of significant figure denotes the level of accuracy of a measurement .

Beaker can measure liquid in mL upto significant figure of 2 . That means it can measure volume in terms of 10 , 20 , 30mL etc . It can not measure 25 mL

accurately . The last figure of 28 mL is read by guess in the question . So it is not an accurate measurement .

Similarly , graduated cylinder can measure liquid upto significant figure of 3 .  That means it can measure volume in terms of 11 , 22 , 33 mL etc . It can not measure 25.5  mL accurately . The last figure of 28.3  mL is read by guess in the question . So it is less  accurate measurement .

Similarly , buret  can measure liquid upto significant figure of 4 .  That means it can measure volume in terms of 11.2 , 22.3 , 33.5 mL etc . It can not measure 25.53  mL accurately . The last figure of 28.32  mL is read by guess in the question . So it is most accurate among all the three instrument because it can measure accurately mL upto one tenth of it .

Al agregar 150g de una sustancia X en un recipiente que sostiene que contiene agua hasta 50, el nivel del agua aumenta hasta 120
vovangra [49]

Answer:

2,14 g / ml

Explanation:

Sabemos que el volumen de una sustancia es igual al cambio de volumen del agua cuando el objeto en cuestión se sumerge en el agua.

Dado que el volumen original del agua = 50 ml

Volumen de agua después de sumergir el objeto = 120 ml

Masa del objeto = 150 g

Ahora,

Densidad = masa / volumen

Densidad = 150g / 120-50 ml

Densidad = 150/70 ml

Densidad = 2,14 g / ml

How are carbon dioxide (CO2) levels in the atmosphere affected by tectonic uplift of rocks and their resultant chemical weatheri
valina [46]

Answer:

The levels of carbon dioxide (CO2) in the atmosphere are reduced

Explanation:

Tectonic uplift refers to the process by which the surface of the earth slowly rises either due to increasing upward force applied from the plates below the surface or decreasing downward force or weight of objects like melting glaciers acting from above. During uplift, land, as well as the sea floor rises forming mountains, plateaus and volcanic Islands.

During the process of weathering, carbon dioxide present in air combines with rainwater and forms carbonic acid. This acidic rainwater then falls on uplifted mountains and rocks weathering them in the process. Minerals present in the rock such as calcium, magnesium and sodium then combine with bicarbonate ions to form carbonates such as calcium carbonate, magnesium carbonate which are found in shells of living and dead organisms and also form rocks such as limestone. In this way, carbon dioxide is removed from the atmosphere.
