Answer:

What do you think causes some rock types to have higher densities than others? (Assuming there are no air pockets in the rock, the types of minerals will determine the density. Granite contains lots of quartz and feldspar - both fairly light minerals, whereas basalt and gabbro are made of heavier minerals.)

State two ways of measuring the quantity of reactant or product

Bezzdna [24]

Answer:

If a reaction produces a gas such as oxygen or carbon dioxide, there are two ways to measure the reaction rate: using a gas syringe to measure the gas produced, or calculating the reduction in the mass of the reaction solution.

The chart shows the voltage of four electric currents.

masha68 [24]

Answer: The correct option is Current W flows at a higher rate than Current Z.

Explanation: To answer this question, we will require Ohm's law.

Ohm's Law states that the current flowing through a conductor across two points is directly proportional to the voltage difference across that two points.

Mathematically,

$V=IR$

where, V = voltage

I = Current

R = resistance

For the given question, assuming that the resistance is constant. So, the current is directly proportional to the voltage.

$V\propto I$

Hence, as the current W is greater of all the given currents so, it will flow at a higher rate.

Therefore, the correct answer is Current W flows at a higher rate than Current Z.

at a particulat temperature, a smaple of pure water has a Kw of 7.7x10-14. what is the hydroxide concentration of this sample

ycow [4]

Answer: The hydroxide concentration of this sample is $3.85\times 10^{-7}$

Explanation:

When an expression is formed by taking the product of concentration of ions raised to the power of their stoichiometric coefficients in the solution of a salt is known as ionic product.

The ionic product for water is written as:

$K_w=[H^+]\times [OH^-]$

$7.7\times 10^{-14}=[H^+]\times [OH^-]$

As $[H^+]=[OH^-]$

$2[OH^-]=7.7\times 10^{-14}$

$[OH^-]=3.85\times 10^{-7}$

Thus hydroxide concentration of this sample is $3.85\times 10^{-7}$
