Why do you think it is a bad idea to use taste, touch, or smell to identify an unknown chemical?

Chemistry
1 answer:

4 0

Answer:

Because it can cause health problems or injuries to our sense organs.

Explanation:

Chemicals in the laboratory are made up of different constituents, which may be dangerous or injurious to health. This is the reason why safety measures or precautions have to be taken when working in the laboratory. One of those safety measures is that "one should never use taste, touch, or smell to identify an unknown chemical".

This is so because a chemical that is unknown amounts to the fact that what such chemical contains is unknown, hence, the chemical might have the ability to cause harm or injuries to the sense organ. For example, a conc. acid that is tasted will burn the tongue etc.

Group 1A element sodium combines with Group 7A element chlorine to form sodium chloride or table salt. Based on this information
Ymorist [56]
The answer is Na < Cl

Chlorine is more electronegative than sodium because this follows the trend of the periodic table. The trend states that an element's electronegativity increases from left to right of a period and bottom to up of a group. Since sodium and chlorine are from the same period, and chlorine is at the right of sodium, chlorine is more electronegative.

How does the automatic hammer convert gravitational potential energy into kinetic energy?
Nutka1998 [239]

Answer:

Exolaiend in explanation section

Explanation:

First of all, the automatic hammer is used to drive nails into tight spaces where where we can't get a sufficient striking force if we are to use a normal regular hammer in driving the nail.

So the nail to be driven is lifted out of rest(it's position). The energy here is gravitational potential energy.

Now, when it is driven into the tight spaces, the gravitational energy would be converted to kinetic energy due to the motion and speed involved.
