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

Answer:

Eg:Salt...Essentially, water moves across a cell membrane to try to equalize the salinity or concentration of salt on both sides of the membrane. If you add enough salt, too much water will be removed from a cell for it to stay alive or reproduce. A high concentration of salt kills organisms that decay food and cause disease.

Predict which member of each pair will be more acidic. Explain your answers. (a) methanol or tert-butyl alcohol (b) 2-chloroprop
Art [367]

Answer:

A. Methanol

B. 2-chloropropan-1-ol

C. 2,2-dichloroethanol

D. 2,2-difluoropropan-1-ol

Explanation:

Primary alcohols are stronger acids than secondary alcohols which are stronger than tertiary alcohols.

This trend is so because of the stability of the alkoxide ion formed(stabilising the base, increases the acidity). A more stabilised alkoxide ion is a weaker conjugate base (dissociation of an acid in water).

By electronic factors, When there are alkyl groups donating electrons, the density of electrons on th O- will increase a d thereby make it less stable.

By stearic factors, More alkyl group bonded to the -OH would mean the bulkier the alkoxide ion which would be harder to stabilise.

Down the group of the periodic table, basicity (metallic character) decreases as we go from F– to Cl– to Br– to I– because that negative charge is being spread out over a larger volume that is electronegativity decreases down the group.

Electronegative atoms give rise to inductive effect and a decrease in indutive effects leads to a decrease in acidity. Therefore an Increasing distance from the -OH group lsads to a decrease in acidity.

From above,

A. Methanol

B. 2-chloropropan-1-ol

C. 2,2-dichloroethanol

D. 2,2-difluoropropan-1-ol

The moles  of disodium edta  used is  calculated  using  the  below  formula


moles =molarity  x  volume in  liters

molarity=0.050m
volume  in  liters = 22/1000=0.022 L

moles  is  therefore=  0.022 x0.050  =1.1  x10^-3  moles  of  disodium  edta
