<h2>Answer:</h2>

A pure metal has specific properties. Sometimes we need that metal but with modified properties. So for the modification of properties we make alloys.

<h3>Explanation;</h3>

An alloy is a mixture of two elements, one of which is a metal.
Alloys often have properties that are different to the metals they contain.
This makes them more useful than the pure metals alone.
For example, alloys are often harder than the metal they contain.

4. Is it possible for two different compounds to be made from the exact same two elements? Why or why not? With a limited number

densk [106]

no it is not possible, because they both have the same number of valence electrons in each element. in a compound you are supposed to have two or more elements that have different numbers of valence electrons so when put together they for a compound.

Consider an atom having four distinct energy levels. If an electron is able to make transitions between any two levels, how many

Kryger [21]

Energy levels are the electron shells where electrons are found at a fixed distance from the nucleus of the atom. The atom could emit 6 different wavelengths.

<h3>What is wavelength?</h3>

A wavelength is a distance between the adjacent crests in wave signals propagated in a system. Wavelength $(\rm \lambda )$ is in inverse relation to the frequency of the wave.

When an electron jumps from energy level 1 to 2, 1 to 3, and 1 to 4 one wavelength each is present. Hence, making the total wavelength to be 3, in transition from the first energy level.

Similarly, from energy levels, 2 to 3 and 2 to 4, a total of 2 wavelengths, and from energy levels 3 to 4 one wavelength is produced.

So the total different wavelengths of the radiation that can be emitted will be 3 + 2 + 1 = 6.

Therefore, 6 different wavelengths of radiation will be emitted by the atom.

If 36.2g of Acetic Acid (HC2H302) was dissolved in 300. mL of water, what is the

uysha [10]

Answer:

2.01 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Calculate the moles of acetic acid (HC₂H₃O₂)

The molar mass of acetic acid is 60.05 g/mol. We will use this data to calculate the moles corresponding to 36.2 g of acetic acid.

$36.2g \times \frac{1mol}{60.05g} = 0.603mol$

Step 2: Convert the volume of solution to liters

We will use the relation 1000 mL = 1 L. We assume that the volume of solution is that of water (300 mL)

$300mL \times \frac{1L}{1000mL} = 0.300L$

Step 3: Calculate the molarity of the solution

The molarity is equal to the moles of solute (acetic acid) divided by the liters of solution

$M = \frac{0.603mol}{0.300L} = 2.01 M$

natural selection is an example of a mechanism of evolution does this mechanism produce a change in individuals or populations e

skad [1K]

Answer: Yes, Natural selection is natures way of making the fittest and top dogs of the food chain, It can produce a change in individuals and populations by completely reducing or wiping out a population not fit for survival in its inviroment and can even force a change of the creature to make it able to survive.

Example: would be rabbits, a snow rabbit wouldn't survive very well in the desert and a jack rabbit wouldn't be able to survive in the cold winter due to temp and the fact that predators like wolves would be able to spot it easier from its color of its fur.

Note: Hope this helps, and I hope this is want it was asking. Good luck :)
