Answer:

A lunar eclipse occurs at night and a solar eclipse occurs during the day. There are only certain times when either of them can occur. A lunar eclipse can only occur when the moon is directly opposite the Sun in the sky — a full moon. Even though there is a full moon each month, obviously a lunar eclipse does not occur on a monthly basis because the Sun isn't exactly in line with the Earth and the moon. The moon's orbit is actually tilted 5 degrees more than that of the Earth; otherwise, we would see a lunar eclipse each month.

Answer: The solution is a SATURATED solution.

Explanation:

Although most substances are soluble in water, some are more soluble than others,that is , their solubilities differ. SOLUBILITY is a means of comparing the extent to which different solutes can dissolve in a particular solvent at a definite temperature.

From the question above, when water was added to the sodium acetate in the flask, SOME of the chemical dissolved into the water, meaning that some remained undissolved. This is because a given volume of water can only dissolve a certain amount of chemical in it at room temperature. If more chemical is added to such a solution, the chemical will remain undissolved. Such a chemical solution is said to be a SATURATED SOLUTION.

A saturated solution of a solute at a particular temperature is on which contains as much solute as it can dissolve at that temperature in the presence of undissolved solute particles.

Unsaturated solution is a type of solution that dissolves all its solutes with no presence of undissolved solute.

Supersaturated solution is one which contains more of the solute than it can normally hold at that temperature. It is an unstable solution which crystallizes out when disturbed.

What is the weight of oxygen in 50gwater

8_murik_8 [283]

To compute the required mass of the element to form the given molecules, we'll use the general formula shown below:

{eq}\displaystyle m_1=\frac{M_1}{M_2}\times m_2 {/eq}, where,

{eq}M_1 {/eq} is the molecular weight of the element.

{eq}M_2 {/eq} is the molecular weight of the given molecule.

{eq}m_2 {/eq} is the mass of the given molecule.
