The chemical symbol of an element is determined by the language used to abbreviate the element. Most chemical symbols use abbreviations of the English name for the element, such as "O" for oxygen, "H" for hydrogen or "Ar" for argon.

At Jim's auto shop, it takes him minutes to do an oil change and minutes to do a tire change. Let be the number of oil changes h
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

The total time that Jim needs to change x oil changes and y tire changes is less than 180 min.

The time needed for x oil changes is 12 * x.

The time needed for y tire changes is 18 * y.

The total time is the sum of the above times and needs to be less than 180 that is

12 * x + 18 * y < 180 divide both sides of equation by 6

12/6 * x + 18/6*y < 180/6

2*x + 3*y < 30

2*x < 30 - 3*y divide both sides by 2 to get the inequality for x

x < 30/2 - 3/2*y = 15 - 1.5 y < 15 that is x < = 15

2*x + 3*y < 30

3*y < 30 - 2*x divide both sides by 3 to get the inequality for y

y < 30/3 - 2/3 *x = 10 - 2/3*x < 10 that is y < = 10

Also we can write x + y < x+ 3/2 * y < 15.

Explanation:

Jim's can do not more then 5 oil changes and not more then 10 tire changes or all together she can do not more then 15 total of oil and tire changes.

Suppose that you add 26.7 g of an unknown molecular compound to 0.250 kg of benzene, which has a K f Kf of 5.12 oC/m. With the a
kiruha [24]

From the calculation, the molar mass of the solution is 141 g/mol.

<h3>What is the molar mass?</h3>

We know that;

ΔT = K m i

K = the freezing constant

m = molality of the solution

i = the Van't Hoft factor

The molality of the solution is obtained from;

m = ΔT/K i

m = 3.89/5.12 * 1

m = 0.76 m

Now;

0.76 =  26.7 /MM/0.250

0.76 = 26.7 /0.250MM

0.76 * 0.250MM =  26.7

MM= 26.7/0.76 * 0.250

MM = 141 g/mol

Which is true about the pH values of a 1.0 M solution of HCl (a strong acid) and a 1.0 M solution of HC2H3O2 (a weak acid)?
Neko [114]

Answer:

C. pH values are different because the HC_2H_3O_2 solution partially ionizes and the HCl solution ionizes 100 percent.

Explanation:

Strong acids are the acids which completely ionizes in the solution while weak acids are the acids which ionizes partially in the solution. They exists in equilibrium in the solution with their respective ions.

Thus, strong acids furnish greater concentration of protons as compared to weak acid when same concentration of both types are taken.

<u>Also, pH is the negative of the logarithm  of the hydrogen ions. Thus, hydrogen ion concentration for both acids are different and thus pH will be different.</u>
