Benthos are "organisms inhabiting the seafloor" according to one source, so I would say the answer is C.
Answer:
46g of sodium acetate.
Explanation:
The data is: <em>Precipitation from a supersaturated sodium acetate solution. The solution on the left was formed by dissolving 156g of the salt in 100 mL of water at 100°C and then slowly cooling it to 20°C. Because the solubility of sodium acetate in water at 20°C is 46g per 100mL of water, the solution is supersaturated. Addition of a sodium acetate crystal causes the excess solute to crystallize from solution.</em>
The third solution is the result of the equilibrium in the solution at 20°C. As the maximum quantity that water can dissolve of sodium acetate at this temperature is 46g per 100mL and the solution has 100mL <em>there are 46g of sodium acetate in solution. </em>The other sodium acetate precipitate because of decreasing of temperature.
I hope it helps!
Hypothesis is a smart guess that you make on the result of your experiment. You make this even before doing the experiment through inferential analysis. If the hypothesis you made was that, cotton will grow larger balls, then in the experiment, you should measure the cotton boll's size. The size should be in terms of diameter. So, the answer is b.
2.0 L
The key to any dilution calculation is the dilution factor
The dilution factor essentially tells you how concentrated the stock solution was compared with the diluted solution.
In your case, the dilution must take you from a concentrated hydrochloric acid solution of 18.5 M to a diluted solution of 1.5 M, so the dilution factor must be equal to
DF=18.5M1.5M=12.333
So, in order to decrease the concentration of the stock solution by a factor of 12.333, you must increase its volume by a factor of 12.333by adding water.
The volume of the stock solution needed for this dilution will be
DF=VdilutedVstock⇒Vstock=VdilutedDF
Plug in your values to find
Vstock=25.0 L12.333=2.0 L−−−−−
The answer is rounded to two sig figs, the number of significant figures you have for the concentration od the diluted solution.
So, to make 25.0 L of 1.5 M hydrochloric acid solution, take 2.0 L of 18.5 M hydrochloric acid solution and dilute it to a final volume of 25.0 L.
IMPORTANT NOTE! Do not forget that you must always add concentrated acid to water and not the other way around!
In this case, you're working with very concentrated hydrochloric acid, so it would be best to keep the stock solution and the water needed for the dilution in an ice bath before the dilution.
Also, it would be best to perform the dilution in several steps using smaller doses of stock solution. Don't forget to stir as you're adding the acid!
So, to dilute your solution, take several steps to add the concentrated acid solution to enough water to ensure that the final is as close to 25.0 L as possible. If you're still a couple of milliliters short of the target volume, finish the dilution by adding water.
Always remember
Water to concentrated acid →.NO!
Concentrated acid to water →.YES!
