Answer:

B.Thermal insulation minimizes energy loses to the atmosphere.

Explanation:

It is important because it helps to stop hit from transferring from the calorimeter to the environment. This would help to have an accurate measurement of the heat that was used in the chemical process. The greatest cause of error that happens in calorimetry is when heat is lost to the environment. To reduce this, you insulate the calorimeter and add a cover.

Use the conversion factor 1 amu = 1.66054× 10–24 g to answer the following questions. a) 1.67 x 10-24 g of neurons is how many (

sergij07 [2.7K]

You can use the mass of neuron divided by the mass of conversion factor: 1.67*10^(-25)/(1.66054*10^(-24))≈1 amu. So the answer is 1 amu.

G brønsted-lowry proton transfer reaction, hydroxide functions as a/an ______.

Katen [24]

In a bronsted lowry proton transfer reaction, the hydroxide functions as a/an <u>proton acceptor.</u>

Bases are the opposite of acids. Bases are basic since they take or accept protons. For example, a Hydroxide ion can accept a proton to form water.

The left side of a chemical reaction is shown.

siniylev [52]

The type of chemical reaction that the reactants will undergo would be a single displacement reaction.

In a single displacement reaction, one element gets substituted or replaced by another element in a compound. This often leads to the formation of a new compound (aqueous) and a new element (solid or precipitate).

Thus, the complete equation of the reaction becomes:

$Cu + 2AgNO_3 ---> Cu (NO_3)_2 + 2Ag$

Cu displaced Ag from AgNO3. Thus Ag becomes precipitated in solution while a new compound, CU(NO3)2 is formed.
