Why does a volumetric flask have the shape it does?

Answer:

When the glassware was made by hand, the bulb at the bottom varied in size, so each flask had to be filled with the correct volume before the line could be etched on the glass. A tube was used for the neck since the volume filling the tube would change at a consistent rate. ... The flask looks like a pear shaped container.

Explanation:

The bulb at the bottom differed in size when the glassware was produced by hand, so each flask had to be filled with the correct volume before the line could be engraved onto the glass. Since the volume filling the tube will shift at a constant rate, a tube was used for the neck that is tubular to signify when you have the right amount. The flask looks like a bottle shaped like a pear.

A car at rest ends accelerates for 12 seconds. After this time the car is going 36 m/s. What was its acceleration?
Zigmanuir [339]

Acceleration is defined as velocity per unit time.

Acceleration=\frac{Velocity}{time}

a=\frac{dv}{dt}

Here, a=acceleartion,

v=velocity=36 m/s

t=time=12 s

a=\frac{dv}{dt}

a=\frac{36}{12}

a=3 ms⁻²

A car at rest ends accelerates for 12 seconds. After this time the car is going 36 m/s. So acceleration that is a=3 ms⁻².

The actual yield of a certain reaction is 44.0 g, while the theoretical yield is 50.0 g. Calculate the percent yield.
Goshia [24]
Percent yield represents to what extent the reaction runs to completion. In this, the theoretical yield is 50 grams (100% completion).

To calculate percent yield, divide the actual by the theoretical. In doing so, the percent yield is 88% (44/50).

Why is air considered a mixture not a compound?
blondinia [14]
<span>The best reason I can think of for why we believe that air is a mixture is that freezing air slowly yields different liquids at different temperatures. Liquid nitrogen has a different boiling point than liquid oxygen. They also freeze at different temperatures. If air were only 1 compound, then air in its entirety would have a single boiling point and a single freezing point. </span>
