Answer:

Acids break down fabrics and can cause burns if the acids are strong.

Explanation:

When working with acids, it is advisable for a scientist for wear a protective apron or lab coat because acids break down fabrics and can cause burns.

Acids are chemical substances that produces excess hydroxonium ions in solutions.

Due to their unique properties they are highly corrosive and are used to remove rusts from any surface.
We they come in contact with the human body, they can cause severe burns especially if they are very strong acid.
If an apron is worn, then the body will be shielded.

The attractive electrostatic force between the point charges +8.44 ✕ 10-6 and q has a magnitude of 0.961 n when the separation b

d1i1m1o1n [39]

The electrostatic force between two charges Q1 and q is given by
$F=k_e \frac{Q_1 q}{r^2}$
where
ke is the Coulomb's constant
Q1 is the first charge
q is the second charge
r is the distance between the two charges

Re-arranging the formula, we have
$q= \frac{F r^2}{k_e Q_1}$
and since we know the value of the force F, of the charge Q1 and the distance r between the two charges, we can calculate the value of q:
$q= \frac{(0.961 N)(0.67 m)^2}{(8.99 \cdot 10^9 N m^2 C^{-2})(+8.44\cdot 10^{-6}C)}=5.69 \cdot 10^{-6} C$

And since the force is attractive, the two charges must have opposite sign, so the charge q must have negative sign.

A machine shop worker reports the mass of an aluminum cube as 176 g. If one side of the cube measures 4 cm, what is the density

Zarrin [17]

-- Since it's a cube, its length, width, and height are all the same 4 cm .

-- Its volume is (length x width x height) = 64 cm³ .

-- Density = (mass) / (volume)

= (176 g) / (64 cm³)

= 2.75 gm/cm³ .

Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Crystal structure

Explanation:

The repeated pattern of similar particles in a material is called crystal. Crystal structure is the largest constituent unit of a solid matter.

The fundamental identity of a crystal structure is a unit cell that is formed by the arrangement of atoms or ions in a particular manner. A crystal is defined as a regular, long-ranged repeated arrangement of unit cells.

Crystal have a sharp melting and boiling point and they give a sharp edge on being cut with a knife.
