Which pair of dispersed phases and dispersing media can never form a colloid?

Which example illustrates public scientific communication?

White raven [17]

Answer:

D. A federal government agency publishes an article in a professional scientific journal detailing technical details of a new virus.

Explanation:

Public scientific communication is a way used by scientists to make the audience able to understand the basics of science to communicate an informed decision. There are several skills under public scientific communication that include connect with the public, talk to journalists, make science understandable, and understand the audience.

The best way to connect with the audience is to publish an article in a professional scientific journal because mostly journals are peer-reviewed having standard of quality.

A federal government agency informing about a new virus through an article in a professional scientific journal is the best way of public scientific communication as it will be for a specific audience along with a standard of quality.

Hence, the correct answer is "D".

The equation for the reaction between copper and nitric acid is vCu + wHNO3--->xCu(NO3)2 + yNO + zH2O Balance the equation an

lana [24]

Answer:

The coefficients of the balanced equation are:

v= 1
w= 4
x= 1
y= 2
z=2

Explanation:

The Law of Conservation of Matter, also called the Law of Conservation of Mass or the Lomonósov-Lavoisier Law, postulates that "mass is neither created nor destroyed, it is only transformed". This means that the reagents interact with each other and form new products with different physical and chemical properties than the reagents, but the amount of matter or mass before and after a transformation (chemical reaction) is always the same. In other words, then the mass before the chemical reaction is equal to the mass after the reaction.

Then, you must balance the following chemical equation:

v Cu + w HNO₃ → x Cu(NO₃)₂ + y NO + z H₂O

For that, you must first look at the subscripts next to each atom to find the number of atoms in the equation. If the same atom appears in more than one molecule, you must add its amounts

Left side: 1 copper, 1 hydrogen, 1 nitrogen and 3 oxygen.
Right side: 1 copper, 2 hydrogen, 3 nitrogen and 8 oxygen.

The coefficients located in front of each molecule indicate the amount of each molecule for the reaction. This coefficient can be modified to balance the equation, just as you should never alter the subscripts.

By multiplying the coefficient mentioned by the subscript, you get the amount of each element present in the reaction.

Generally, hydrogen and oxygen balance in the end. So you balance nitrogen first, because copper is already balanced (there is the same amount on both sides of the reaction). If w = 2, then:

Left side: 1 copper, 2 hydrogen, 2 nitrogen and 6 oxygen.
Right side: 1 copper, 2 hydrogen, 3 nitrogen and 8 oxygen.

But you see then that the oxygen is unbalanced and you have less quantity in the reagents. Then w must be greater. Being w = 4:

Left side: 1 copper, 4 hydrogen, 4 nitrogen and 10 oxygen.
Right side: 1 copper, 2 hydrogen, 3 nitrogen and 8 oxygen.

Going back to the idea of balancing nitrogen, being y = 2:

Left side: 1 copper, 4 hydrogen, 4 nitrogen and 10 oxygen.
Right side: 1 copper, 2 hydrogen, 4 nitrogen and 9 oxygen.

Balancing the hydrogen, being z = 2:

Left side: 1 copper, 4 hydrogen, 4 nitrogen and 10 oxygen.
Right side: 1 copper, 4 hydrogen, 4 nitrogen and 10 oxygen.

Since you have the same amount of each element on each side of the reaction, the reaction is balanced. Then, the balanced equation is:

Cu + 4 HNO₃ → Cu(NO₃)₂ + 2 NO + 2 H₂O

Finally:

v= 1
w= 4
x= 1
y= 2
z=2
