Answer:

4

Explanation:

hmm.... 2 + 2 can be written as 1 + 1 + 1 + 1. This is equivalent to 1(4). Since 1 * 4 = 4 our answer is 4.

That's a pretty straightforward way of solving. Now to something more theoretical:

Here is something I found on Qoura. Remember! I didn't come up with this, but it's a really cool explanation:

The set of integers is an (infinite) group with respect to addition. Since 2 is an integer, the sum of 2 and 2 must also be an integer. Suppose, for the sake of contradiction, that 2 + 2 < 4. We have 2 > 0. Adding two to both sides, we get 2+2 > 0+2. Since 0 is the identity element for addition, we have 2 + 2 > 2. Hence 2 < 2 + 2 < 4 so 2 + 2 must equal 3. Since 3 is prime, by Fermat’s Little Theorem we have the following for a ∈ Z +: a ^3−1 ≡ 1 (mod 3) a^3−1 ≡ 1 (mod 2 + 2) But a^3−1 = a^3/a = a × a × a/ a = a × a and, for a = 2, 2 × 2 ≡ 0 (mod 2 + 2) since, by the definition of multiplication, 2 × 2 = 2 + 2. So, we have 2^3−1 ≡ 0 (mod 2 + 2) 2^2+2−1 ≡ 0 (mod 2 + 2) This is a contradiction to Fermat’s Little Theorem, so 2 + 2 must not be prime. But 3 is prime. Hence 2+2 must not equal 3, and therefore 2+2 ≥ 4. It remains to show that 2 + 2 is not greater than 4.

To prove this we need the following lemma:

Lemma. ∀a ∈ Z, if a > 4, ∃b ∈ Z such that b > 0 and a − 2 = 2 + b. If a were a solution to the equation 2 + 2 = a, then we would have a − 2 = 2 + 0. The lemma states that this cannot hold for any a > 4, and so a = 4, as desired.

The proof is by induction over a. Our base case is a = 5. Let 5−2 = 2+b. Five is the 5th Fibonacci number, and 2 is the 3rd Fibonacci number. Therefore, by the definition of Fibonacci numbers, 5 − 2 must be the 4th Fibonacci number. Letting fi denote the ith Fibonacci number, then we have fi − fi−1 > 0 for i≠ 2, because f2 − f1 = f0 and f0 = 0, but f1 = 1, and the Fibonacci sequence is non decreasing. Hence (5 − 2) − 2 > 0. Now, suppose that ∃b ∈ Z such that b > 0 and (k − 1) − 2 = 2 + b. We need to prove that, for some b’ > 0, k − 2 = 2 + b’ . Our inductive hypothesis is equivalent to: k − 1 − 2 = 2 + b

k − 1 − 2 + 1 = 2 + b + 1

k − 2 = 2 + (b + 1)

Since 1 > 0 and b > 0, we have (b + 1) > 0. Thus, letting b’ = b + 1, we have a nonnegative solution to k − 2 = 2 + b’ , as desired. By Lemma , it is not the case that 2 + 2 > 4. Hence 2 + 2 ≤ 4. We also have 2 + 2 ≥ 4.

Therefore, 2 + 2 = 4

Consider the reaction: HCN (aq) + H2O (l) ⇄ CN- (aq) + H3O + (aq) Which of the following statements will decrease the amount of
alekssr [168]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The given chemical reaction shows that hydrogen cyanide acid has been added to water which results in the formation of hydronium ion and cyanide ion.

Also, when we add a base like sodium hydroxide (NaOH) to HCN then it will help in accepting a proton (H^{+}) from hydrogen cyanide. As a result, formation of CN^{-} anion will be rapid and easy.

This will make the system not to do any extra work. So, amount of work done by system will decrease.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, add solid NaOH to the reaction (assume no volume change) will decrease the amount of work the system could perform.
