For which of the following activities might you want to hire a chemist?
Answer: D. testing a rock sample for gold content
Which of the following procedures involves a physical change in one of the substances?
Answer: C. separating a salt solution by evaporating the water
 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Zn(s) + 2 HCl(aq) → ZnCl₂(aq) + H₂(g) 
Oxidation means lose of electrons and increase of positive charge so the part which oxidized in this equation is Zn(s) because it converted to Zn²⁺ (i.e. lost two electrons) 
        
                    
             
        
        
        
Answer:
Calcium ions.
Explanation:
The generation of the action potential helps in the transfer of information to the different body parts. This potential occurs to the difference in membrane potential inside and outside of the cell.
The sarcoplasmic reticulum is the homologous to the endoplasmic reticulum of the cells. The sarcoplasmic reticulum contains calcium ions in it and releases the stored calcium ions on the generation of the action potential. This calcium ion is important for the action of the actin and myosin.
Thus, the correct answer is option (D).
 
        
             
        
        
        
<u>Answer:</u>
Nitrogen gas be a mineral only, if it is in organic forms.
<u>Explanation:</u> 
Most of the forms of organic nitrogen is not be taken by plants, with the exception in the form of small organic molecules. Also plants can promptly take the nitrogen  when it is in other forms like ammonia and nitrate.
The microorganisms  in the soil converts the organic forms of nitrogen to mineral form when they decompose organic matters and  also fresh plant residues. This type of process is called mineralisation.
 
        
             
        
        
        
Answer:
3.33 L
Explanation:
We can solve this problem by using the equation:
Where the subscript 1 refers to one solution and subscript 2 to the another solution, meaning that in this case:
We input the data:
- 0.25 M * 100 L = 7.5 M * V₂
Thus the answer is 3.33 liters.
