Answer:

Explanation:

First of all, we need to understand what gravity is. Gravity in its simplest form can be best visualized as a force of attraction, that pulls all objects that have a mass towards itself.

It is usually exerted by an object with a larger mass and felt by objects with smaller masses.

Putting this into context, the earth exerts a gravitational pull on all substances with masses, which are around it. This includes the oceans, birds, airplanes, clouds, and even gasses in the atmosphere. The atmospheric gasses may be light enough to float, but they can't go very far, since gravity is constantly tugging at them. This keeps the gasses that make up our atmosphere, within a reasonable radius, which is very close to the earth. In a nutshell, gravity prevents them from floating away into outer space.

Which type of mixture can be separated using magnetism?

Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer: The correct option is heterogeneous mixture whose components are attracted differently to a magnet.

Explanation: There are two types of mixtures:

1) Homogeneous mixtures: In these mixtures, the particles are uniformly distributed throughout the mixture. These particles cannot be separated.

2) Heterogeneous Mixtures: These are the mixtures where the particles are visible separated and are not-uniformly distributed. These particles can be separated easily.

If magnet is used to separate the components of a mixture, the heterogeneous mixtures will only get separated.

To separate the components by a magnet, the components of a mixture should attract the magnet differently. One component should attract the magnet and another should not. Hence, they can be easily separated.

30cm^3 of a dilute solution of Ca(OH)2 required 11 cm^3 of 0.06 mol/dm^. Hcl for complete neutralization. Calculate the concentr

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer: Thus concentration of $Ca(OH)_2$ in $mol/dm^3$ is 0.011 and in $g/dm^3$ is 0.814

Explanation:

To calculate the concentration of $Ca(OH)_2$ , we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

$n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2$

where,

$n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is $HCl$

$n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is $Ca(OH)_2$

We are given:

$n_1=1\\M_1=0.06mol/dm^3\\V_1=11cm^3=0.011dm^3\\n_2=2\\M_2=?\\V_2=30cm^3=0.030dm^3$ $1cm^3=0.001dm^3$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1\times 0.06mol/dm^3\times 0.011dm^3=2\times M_2\times 0.030dm^3\\\\M_2=0.011mol/dm^3$

The concentration in $g/dm^3$ is $0.011mol/dm^3\times 74g/mol=0.814g/dm^3$

Thus concentration of $Ca(OH)_2$ is $0.011mol/dm^3$ and $0.814g/dm^3$
