What evidence do you see that a chemical reaction is taking place when you add hydrogen peroxide to potassium ioxide??
Yuri [45]

Answer:

Bubbling/Foaming

Heat is produced

Explanation:

A chemical reaction has occurred if

1. There is a change in colour

2. Formation of a precipitate

3. Formation of a gas

4. Change in temperature

5. Change of smell

In the reaction of hydrogen peroxide and potassium iodide, the solution quickly rises which shows the formation of gas. This means it is a chemical reaction.

The beaker/test tube/whatever you used should also become warm because it is an exothermic reaction. This means its a chemical reaction

The temperature of nitrogen is unknown when the gas occupies 100.0 mL at 99.10 kPa. If the gas is known to occupy 74.2 mL at 133
laiz [17]

Answer:

The unknown temperature is 304.7K

Explanation:

V1 = 100mL = 100*10^-3L

P1 = 99.10kPa = 99.10*10³Pa

V2 = 74.2mL = 74.2*10^-3L

P2 = 133.7kPa = 133.7*10³Pa

T2 = 305K

T1 = ?

From combined gas equation,

(P1 * V1) / T1 = (P2 * V2) / T2

Solving for T1,

T1 = (P1 * V1 * T2) / (P2 * V2)

T1 = (99.10*10³ * 100*10^-3 * 305) / (133.7*10³ * 74.2*10^-3)

T1 = 3022550 / 9920.54

T1 = 304.67K

T1 = 304.7K

What is defined as the basic unit in the metric system that describes a quality?
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Explanation:

The metric system is a system of measurement that uses the meter, liter, and gram as base units of length (distance), capacity (volume), and weight (mass) respectively.  

 

To measure smaller or larger quantities, we use units derived from the metric units

 

metric-system

 

The given figure shows the arrangement of the metric units, which are smaller or bigger than the base unit.

The units to the right of the base unit are smaller than the base unit. As we move to the right, each unit is 10 times smaller or one-tenth of the unit to its left. So, a ‘deci’ means one-tenth of the base unit, ‘centi’ is one-tenth of ‘deci’ or one-hundredth of the base unit and ‘milli’ is one-tenth of ‘centi’ or one-thousandth of the base unit.

The units to the left of the base unit are bigger than the base unit. As we move to the left, each unit is 10 times greater than the unit to its right. So, a ‘deca’ means ten times of the base unit, ‘hecto’ is ten times of ‘deca’ or hundred times of the base unit and ‘killo’ is ten times of ‘hecto’ or thousand times of the base unit.

Where do convection currents form?
pshichka [43]

Answer:

I think it's C

<u>Convection currents are identified in Earth's mantle. Heated mantle material is shown rising from deep inside the mantle, while cooler mantle material sinks, creating a convection current. It is thought that this type of current is responsible for the movements of the plates of Earth's crust.</u>
