Grains contain gold in forms that seem tailor-made for industrial use. Rumpelstiltskin, the fairy-tale rogue who spun straw into gold, has nothing on Miguel Yacaman and Jorge Gardea-Torresdey. The gold appears as particles mere billionths of a meter wide

What state of matter is at 35 Celsius
Otrada [13]
Different forms of matter have different melting/boiling points. For example, at 100 degrees Celsius, H2O (water) will turn from lliquid to gas. But NaOH (table salt) doesn't even go from solid to liquid until some 800 degrees Celsius. So, in order to figure out which state matter is at 35 Celsius, you'd have to be more specific about what kind of matter...

I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

Neutralization

Explanation:

When an acid react with base it form the salt and  water. The reaction is also called neutralization reaction because both neutralize each other.

In neutralization reaction equal amount of acid and base react to neutralize each other and equal amount of water and salt are formed. When pH does not reach to 7 its means there is less amount of one of reactant which is not fully neutralize.

Neutralization reactions are also used as first aid. For example when someone is dealing with HCl for cleaning purpose of toilet and get touched. It is advised to neutralize it with soap, milk or egg white.

Example:

Hydrochloric acid when react with the sodium hydroxide, a salt sodium chloride and water are formed.

Chemical equation:

HCl + NaOH → NaCl + H₂O

Titration:

Neutralization reactions are also used to determine the concentration of solution. Titration is a quantitative technique in which acid or base is gradually added into the solution whose concentration is to be determine until the neutral point is reached.

Describe the difference between a ball-and-stick model and a space-filling model of a compound.
Lisa [10]
A space-filling model shows the relative amount of space each atom takes up. In other words, a space-filling model can show relative sizes of atoms. However, unlike ball-and-stick or structural models, space-filling models do not show bond lengths clearly. Bonds are not really like sticks in a ball-and-stick model.

Help on this question please
oee [108]

Answer:

First choice: 2

Explanation:

There are 2 phosphorous (P) in the substance.

Ignore the strontium (Sr3) part because you are looking to isolate the P from (PO4)2.

Break the chemical equation apart to get 1 Phosphorous atom, and 4 Oxygen atoms.

Now, multiple 1 by 2 because that are 2 phosphate to get 2 phosphorous atoms.
