Answer:

B. observing that a bone placed in a beaker of acid becomes bendy

Explanation:

The hypothesis suggests that when chicken bones are placed in vinegar, they become bendy due to the loss of calcium in their bones.

Calcium is identified as the ossifying material that strengthens the bone. When the acid that makes up the vinegar comes in contact with it, calcium is removed from the bone.

Now we know that calcium has capabilities of reacting with acids.

This suggests that if we also place the bone in an acid, they will bend due to reaction of calcium in the bones with the acid.

An ideal gas is stored in a container at constant volume. If the temperature (T) were increased to 3T, what would be the change
Olin [163]
According to Gayle Lusac's law, pressure is proportional to absolute temperature of a gas. Thus:
P/T = constant

So if the temperature becomes 3T, the pressure would increase to 3P

Which of the following are diatomic elements? CHECK ALL THAT APPLY!
Komok [63]

Answer: This is a list of the seven diatomic elements. The seven diatomic elements are:

   Hydrogen (H2)

   Nitrogen (N2)

   Oxygen (O2)

   Fluorine (F2)

   Chlorine (Cl2)

   Iodine (I2)

   Bromine (Br2)

All of these elements are nonmetals, since the halogens are a special type of nonmetallic element. Bromine is a liquid at room temperature, while the other elements all gases under ordinary conditions. As the temperature is lowered or pressure is increased, the other elements become diatomic liquids.

Astatine (atomic number 85, symbol At) and tennessine (atomic number 117, symbol Ts) are also in the halogen group and may form diatomic molecules. However, some scientists predict tennessine may behave more like a noble gas.

While only these seven elements routinely form diatomic molecules, other elements can form them. However, diatomic molecules formed by other elements are not very stable, so their bonds are easily broken.

How to Remember the Diatomic Elements

The elements ending with "-gen" including halogens form diatomic molecules. An easy-to-remember mnemonic for the diatomic elements is: Have No Fear Of Ice Cold Beer

You are working in your laboratory and decide to do some cleaning. You find a test tube with some brown substance congealed at t
Anna [14]

Answer:

  • <em>The mystery substance is</em> <u>C. Bromine (Br) </u>

Explanation:

<em>Argon (Ar) </em>is a noble gas. Whose freezing point is -189 °C (very low), thus it cannot be the frozen substance. Also, it is not reactive, thus is would have not reacted with iron. Hence, argon is not the mystery substance.

<em>Scandium (Sc) </em>is a metal from group 3 of the periodic table, thus is will not react with iron. Thus, scandium is not the mystery substance.

Both <em>bromine</em> and <em>iodine</em> are halogens (group 17 of the periodic table).

The freezing point of bromine is −7.2 °C, ​and the freezing point of iodine is 113.7 °C. Thus, both could be solids (frozen) in the lab.

The reactivity of the halogens decrease from top to bottom inside the group. Bromine is above iodine. Then bromine is more reactive than iodine.

Bromine is reactive enough to react with iron. Iodine is not reactive enough to react with iron.

You can find in the internet that bromine vapour over hot iron reacts  producing iron(III) bromide. Also, that bromine vapors are red-brown.

Therefore, <em>the mystery substance is bromine (Br).</em>

This equation represents a:
Leto [7]

Answer : The correct option is, (D) double replacement reaction

Explanation :

Synthesis reaction : A chemical reaction where multiple substances or reactants combine to form a single product.

It is represented as,

X+Y\rightarrow XY

Decomposition reaction : A chemical reaction in which larger reactant decomposes to give two or more than two products.

It is represented as,

AB\rightarrow A+B

Single replacement reaction : A chemical reaction in which the more reactive element replace the less reactive element.

It is represented as,

A+BC\rightarrow AC+B

In this reaction, A is more reactive element and B is less reactive element.

Double replacement reaction : It is a type of chemical reaction where a positive cation and a negative anion of two reactants exchange places to form two new products.

It is represented as,

XY+AB\rightarrow XB+AY

(X and A are the cations, Y and B are the anions)

The given reaction is:

2NaCl(aq)+CuSO_4(aq)\rightarrow Na_2SO_4(aq)_CuCl_2(aq)

This reaction is a double displacement reaction.
