C) A yellow precipitate settles to the bottom.

Explanation:

Lead nitrate is reacting with potassium iodide to form lead iodide, which is a yellow precipitate, and potassium nitrate.

Pb(NO₃)₂ (aq) + KI (aq) → PbI₂ (s) + KNO₃ (aq)

where:

(aq) - aqueous

(s) - solid

A) The solution is yellow.

False, the solution is colorless while the PbI₂ precipitate is yellow.

B) Both reactants are aqueous solutions.

True, however this is not a proof that the chemical reaction occurred.

C) A yellow precipitate settles to the bottom.

True and this is a proof that the chemical reaction occurred because of the formation of PbI₂ yellow precipitate.

D) Lead and potassium are both metals and will replace each other.

True, but this is not a proof that the chemical reaction occurred.

How did atomic theory develop and change?
Agata [3.3K]
The atomic theory started with Democritus, who stated that all space was made up of indivisible particles called atoms, though Aristotles refuted that statement by saying that matter didn’t exist, he believed in the four elements: air, fire, water, and earth. Then came Dalton, who revived Democritus’s ideas and proposed the law of multiple proportions, he revived the idea that all space was made of atoms. Soon after, J.J Thompson discovered the electron by using cathode rays. Max Planck developed the quantum theory by stating that electromagnetic radiation could only be emitted in quantized form (later called quanta). Einstein furthered this idea with studies of light. Robert Millikan eventually measured the charge of a single electron. Ernest Rutherford used a gold foil experiment and discovered the nuclei, considering his alpha particles were deflected by some object. Niels Bohr made the atomic model with electrons spinning around an atom’s nucleus, Erwin Schrodinger describes how electrons have wave like properties. James Chadwick then discovers the neutron!

A steel container with a movable piston contains 2.00 g of helium which was held at a constant temperature of 25 °C. Additional
shtirl [24]

Answer: D) 1.00 g

Explanation:

According to the Avogadro's law, the volume of gas is directly proportional to the number of moles of gas at same pressure and temperature. That means,

V\propto n

or,

\frac{V_1}{V_2}=\frac{n_1}{n_2}

where,

V_1 = initial volume of gas  = 2.00 L

V_2 = final volume of gas = 3.00 L

n_1 = initial moles of gas  =\frac{\text {Given mass of helium}}{\text {molar mass of helium}}=\frac{2.00g}{4g/mol}=0.500mol

n_2 = final moles of gas  = ?

Now we put all the given values in this formula, we get

\frac{2.00L}{3.00L}=\frac{0.500mol}{n_2}

n_2=0.75mole

Mass of helium =moles\times {\text {molar mass}}=0.75\times 4=3.00g

Thus mass of helium added = (3.00-2.00) g = 1.00 g

Which statements about the operation of an automated micropipettor are true? The volume dial has already been set, do not alter
yanalaym [24]

Answer:

The correct statement is that the point of initial resistance is the level of depression that will fill the pipette with the desired volume of solution.

Explanation:

The pipette can be otherwise stored vertically or horizontally, this has nothing to do with the operation, and before the operation, the dial needs to be set. Also, the plastic pipette tip should not be ejected at all, thus, no new disposable plastic tip is required for each sample.

The correct statement is that the point of initial resistance is the level of depression that will fill the pipette with the desired volume of solution.
