All elements have either a positive charge or a negative charge. And if I'm not mistaken, I do know that Chlorine has a negative charge of 1.

1.) Which of the following is an example of using creativity while doing background research?

adoni [48]

1) Answer is: D. Writing a hypothesis.

The scientific method is a process for experimentation that is used to explore observations.

Steps of the scientific method:

1) ask a question about something that is observed.

2) do background research.

3) construct a hypothesis, an attempt to answer questions with an explanation that can be tested.

4) test of hypothesis.

5) analyze collected data and draw a conclusion.

2) Answer is: A. Carbon and oxygen are chemically bonded in it.

A compound (in this example carbon dioxide CO₂) is a pure substance because its molecule cannot be broken down into simpler particles by physical means.

A chemical compound is a chemical substance composed of many identical molecules composed of atoms held together by chemical bonds.

Carbon dioxide (CO₂) are inorganic compounds with covalent bonds between carbon and oxygen.

3) Answer is: B. Components that are mixed can be in different states of matter.

A single substance can be used to make a mixture if the substance is composed of more than one element is not correct, because mixture is composed of at least two substances. For example mixture of water and alcohol ethanol.

There is a definite recipe to make each mixture, so the composition of a mixture is set is not correct, because composition of mixture can vary.

Components that are mixed can be in different states of matter is correct, for example mixture of salt (solid) and water (liquid).

The fuel used in many disposable lighters is liquid butane, C4H10. Butane has a molecular weight of 58.1 grams in one mole. How

labwork [276]

First convert grams to moles using molar mass of butane that is 58.1 g

3.50g C4H10 x (1 mol C4H10)/(58.1g C4H10) = 0.06024 mol C4H10 

Now convert moles to molecules by using Avogadro’s number

0.06024 mol C4H10 x (6.022x10^23 molecules C4H10)/(1 mol C4H10) = 3.627x10^22 molecules C4H10

And there are 4 carbon atoms in 1 molecule of butane, so use the following ratio:

3.627 x 10^22 molecules C4H10 x (4 atoms C)/(1 molecule C4H10)
= 1.45 x 10^23 atoms of carbon are present

stellarik [79]

Use Planck's equation (E=hv) to solve. where frequency (v) of ultrviolet radiation is 6.8 × 1015 1/s. The variable h is a constant equal to 6.63 × 10-34 J·s
E= (6.8 × 1015 1/s)x(6.63 × 10-34 J·s)

A serving of soup contains 5.0 g of fat, 20.0 g of carbohydrates, and 3.0 g of protein. Determine how many kilocalories (kcal) a

marta [7]

Answer: The amount of kilocalories contained in the given serving of soup is 0.137 kCal

Explanation:

As per the USDA:

Carbohydrates provide 4 calories per gram, protein provides 4 calories per gram, and fat provides 9 calories per gram.

We are given

Mass of fat in the soup serving = 5.0 g

Mass of carbohydrates in the soup serving = 20.0 g

Mass of protein in the soup serving = 3.0 g

Conversion factor used: 1 kCal = 1000 Cal

Applying unitary method:

For Fat:

1 gram of fat provides 9 calories

So, 5.0 gram of fat will provide = $\frac{9}{1}\times 5.0=45Cal=0.045kCal$

For Carbohydrates:

1 gram of carbohydrates provides 4 calories

So, 20.0 gram of carbohydrates will provide = $\frac{4}{1}\times 20.0=80Cal=0.080kCal$

For Proteins:

1 gram of proteins provides 4 calories

So, 3.0 gram of fat will provide = $\frac{4}{1}\times 3=12Cal=0.012kCal$

Total kilocalories per serving = [0.045 + 0.080 + 0.012] kCal = 0.137 kCal

Hence, the amount of kilocalories contained in the given serving of soup is 0.137 kCal
