Let's go through each of the answers and think about why they work or don't work.
Chemical forms compounds.
Nuclear changes the element completely. We're going to use the sun as an example. The sun is in a state of plasma. It's really hot and has all these particles hitting into each other. The nucleus' of atoms are hitting into each other forming larger elements. It's real crazy. Nuclear is not correct.
Physical cannot form a compound.
Explanation:
What type of graph is most appropriate to present the data in Table 4? Create a graph of the data in Excel or another graphing software and submit it to your instructor.
Develop a detailed hypothesis for your experiment.What would your experimental approach be to test this hypothesis? Be detailed in your description of the experiment.
6.What are the independent, dependent, and controlled variables in your experiment?
What type of graph would be appropriate for this data set? Why?
2H2 + O2 →2H2O
This is a limiting reactant problem in which you need to figure out which reactant is the limiting reactant. You can usually look at the information given and see that hydrogen has the smaller amount of mass used, but it is always good to check that assumption through stoichiometry:
(9.43g H2/2.02g/mol)(2mol H2O/2mol H2)(18.02gH2O/1mol H2O)= 84.1g H2O produced from 9.43g of H2
(12.98g O2/32.00g/mol O2)(2mol H2O/1mol O2)(18.02gH2O/1mol H2O)= 14.6g H2O
So my assumption that hydrogen makes the smaller amount of water is wrong since oxygen (it is the limiting reactant) created the smaller amount of water with 14.6g, so 14.6g is the maximum amount of water that can be formed
Desert soil has poor topsoil and hardly any organic material in it.
This is because regularly watered soil provides the perfect environment for certain bacteria, bugs and other organisms to grow which in turn provide quality topsoil.
In a desert with very little rain, the perfect environment is never produced, which results in a lot of minerals but poor topsoil for any quality agriculture to take place.
