Specific gravity is the ratio of density of substance and density of water

We know that density of water = 1 g /mL at standard conditions

now as given that the 0.8 Kg of the substance / object is able to displace 500mL of water , it means that

Mass of object = 800g

The volume occupied by 800g of object = 500 mL

Density = mass / volume

Density of object = 800 / 500= 1.6 g / mL

The specific gravity of object = density of object / density of water = 1.6 / 1 = 1.6 (no units)

Here underlined is $NH_3$

A. Brønsted-Lowry acid

B. Brønsted-Lowry base

C. Lewis acid

D. Lewis base

3. $HNO_2(aq)+C_2H_5NH_2(aq)\rightarrow NO_2^-(aq) + C_2H_5NH_3^+(aq)$

Here underlined is $C_2H_5NH_2$

A. Brønsted-Lowry acid

B. Brønsted-Lowry base

C. Lewis acid

D. Lewis base

Answer: 1. Brønsted-Lowry acid

2. Lewis base

3. Brønsted-Lowry base

Explanation:

According to the Bronsted Lowry conjugate acid-base theory, an acid is defined as a substance which donates protons and a base is defined as a substance which accepts protons.

According to the Lewis concept, an acid is defined as a substance that accepts electron pairs and base is defined as a substance which donates electron pairs.

1. $HCH_3CO_2(aq)+NH_3(aq)\rightarrow CH_3CO^{2-}(aq)+NH_4^+aq)$

As $HCH_3CO_2(aq)$ is donating a proton , it acts as a bronsted acid.

2. $BH_3(aq)+NH_3(aq)\rightarrow BH_3NH_3(aq)$

As $NH_3$ contains a lone pair of electron on nitrogen , it can easily donate electrons to $BH_3$ and act as lewi base.

3. $HNO_2(aq)+C_2H_5NH_2(aq)\rightarrow NO_2^-(aq) + C_2H_5NH_3^+(aq)$

As $C_2H_5NH_2(aq)$ is accepting a proton , it acts as a bronsted base.

Is it the power of material evidence that wins, not the authority of experts that

kvasek [131]

Yes, it is the power of material evidence that wins.

Evidence used to support or refute a scientific theory or hypothesis is known as material evidence.
Evidence is also used by scientists in various contexts, such as when they apply ideas to real-world issues.
Whether a person accepts the data as proof depends on their presumptions or views regarding how observations relate to a theory.
A creative hypothesis is developed by a scientist and may be refuted by testing it against evidence or established truths.
Evidence can refute a hypothesis by demonstrating facts that are at odds with it. In contrast, the presence of evidence does not preclude the possibility of future, undiscovered evidence supporting the idea.

Therefore, it is the power of material evidence that wins, not the authority of experts that

proves an answer in Science.

3 A soil has 70% sand, 20% silt

Kisachek [45]

Today, as part of the series of posts on soils, we are going to look at ‘soil texture’. Soil forms the basis for all life but it’s important to know about its mineral constitution as well as its biological profile.

Texture refers to the ‘feel’ of the soil. This is affected by the constituent materials found within it, specifically sand, silt and clay particles. A coarse sand will feel gritty but a wet clay will feel heavy and sticky. The texture of a soil has a direct impact on the way the soil reacts to certain environmental conditions – for example, towards drought or heavy rain (with sandy soils more freely draining).

There is a big difference in the size of the different particles.

Coarse sand = diameter 2-0.2mm

Fine sand = diameter 0.2-0.02mm

Silt = diameter 0.02-0.002mm

Clay = diameter less than 0.002mm

Note how the clay particles are much smaller than the sand particles – this is important as it means the total surface area of a clay soil is much greater and so the capacity to hold water is also much greater.

Between the sand, silt and clay particles there are lots of pores. In fact a soil as a whole is generally 45% mineral, 5% organic matter (depending on the soil) and 50% pore space through which air and water can pass.

Sand –

Made up of weathered primary rock minerals.

The particles are irregular in outline.

They are large and so do not pack together easily.

Large pore spaces in between.

Air gets in very easily and water flows rapidly through it.

Silt –
