The correct subscript for the reaction would be two. Oxygen gas exists as a diatomic molecule in nature. Also, the subscript two would balance the reaction. In balancing reactions, it is important that the atoms on each side of the reaction is equal.

To see a RED object, all the light is absorbed except the Red and that is what we see as the color True False
Dafna11 [192]

Answer: True

Explanation:

Let's begin by explaining that the vision phenomenon depends on three elements: the observer, the object and the light source.

In addition, objects have pigments, which generally absorb more light than they reflect (they absorb certain wavelengths and reflect others). Therefore, the color that a given object seems to have depends on which parts of the visible electromagnetic spectrum are reflected and which parts are absorbed.  

In this sense, the colours we see are in fact the wavelengths that are reflected or transmitted from the object.  For example, a red object has that color because when it is illuminated whith white light, the pigments on this object abrsorb all the the wavelengths of the visible electromagnetic spectrum, except red. That is why red light is the only light that is reflected from the mentioned object.

A chemical reaction was carried out three times. The mass of the product was 8.93 g for the first trial, 8.94 g for the second t
joja [24]

The three mass value measure are precise mass

<u>explanation</u>

precise mass is term use to describe data from experiment that have  been repeated several times. An experiment that yield tightly grouped  set of data it has a high precision.  8.93 , 8.94  and 8.92 are precise mass since they have repeated severally

A student is planning an investigation of an acid-base reaction. Which of the following is not an accepted method of monitoring
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

Conductivity meter

Explanation:

A conductivity meter is normally used to measure the amount of electrical current or conductance in a solution. Conductivity is most useful in determining the overall health of a natural water body.

A pH paper is used to determine the pH of a solution. This is done by dipping part of the paper into a solution of interest and watching the color change. The pH paper comes in a color-coded scale indicating the pH that something has when the paper turns a certain color.

An indicator is an organic compound that changes its colour depending on the pH of the solution.

Since neutralization reaction can only be monitored by monitoring the pH of the solution, a conductivity meter cannot be used to monitor the progress of a neutralization reaction since it does not monitor the change in pH of the system under study.

Which element melts at room temperature?
just olya [345]
Francium is an element that melts at room temperature. Francium is a highly reactive element, and only contains one valence electron, which is very ironic in my opinion.
