Answer:

The litmus paper will turn blue; Ca(OH)₂  

Explanation:

Limewater is a dilute aqueous solution of calcium hydroxide.

Ca(OH)₂(aq) ⟶ Ca²⁺(aq) + 2OH⁻ (aq)

Limewater contains hydroxide ions. They cause the limewater to be basic.

Litmus is a mixture of dyes extracted from lichens. They are weak acids with complicated formulas.

Let's just write the formula for litmus as HLit.

The hydroxide ions from limewater react with the H of litmus to form a salt — the base form — and water.

    HLit + OH⁻ ⟶     Lit⁻    + H₂O

acid form            base form

    red                      blue

The base form of litmus is blue, so

Red litmus turns blue in the presence of limewater.

Anthracite – Stage Four

Anthracite, the fourth stage in coal formation, is also known as “hard coal” because it is hard and has a high lustre. It appears to have been formed as a result of combined pressure and high temperature. Anthracite burns with a short flame and little smoke.

Gala2k [10]

Answer:

  • <u>The pointer will not be lined up with the zero mark; it will be above the zero mark.</u>

Explanation:

Althoug the list of statements is not provided, you can assure that the pointer will not be lined up with the zero mark, but above the zero mark.

A <em>triple beam balance</em> is very precise instrument, of common use in most labs, used to measure masses. It has three beams. Each beam works for different precisions and mass increments. One beam measures 1 g increments, other beam measures 10 g increments, and the other one 100 g increments.

If you place a mass of 250 grams on the measurement tray, then the weight will be balanced in the beams with 200 grams in the beam that reads increments of 100 g and 50 grams in the beam that reads increments of 10 g. When this is the situation, the weight is completely balanced, and the pointer will be lined up with the zero mark. But this is not the case.

When the rider on the 500 gram beam is set to the 200 gram mark, and the other riders are set to 0 grams, the weight of the mass (250 g) on the tray is greater than the force exerted by the rider on the beam (200 g) and so the tray will be below the level of balance, and the beam will be above the level of balance. The level of balance is indicated when the pointer is lined up with the zero mark.

The white tern is a seabird that catches fish by plunging into the water. What physical features of the bird likely make this fe
V125BC [204]

White tern catches fish including crustaceans, flying fish, squid, and others. Prior of plunging into water, it hovers initially over the water surface and then either dives or dips in the surface, without getting entirely submerged into water, and catches its target.  

The food or fish is captivated in its small, however, sharp black beak that is specific as it bent upwards and tapers to a sharp point. It also possesses a long slender body with tapering, long wings, all of which encourage its diving or dipping activity into the surface of the water.
