I believe the answer is A (it was on another Brainly question as well).
Answer:
MIXTURE
Explanation:
A mixture is a substance composed of a combination of other different substances. These component(s) of a mixture are physically combined, meaning that there is no chemical linkage between the individual components/constituents of a mixture.
This is the case of the gravel described in this question. The components of gravel can be separated using physical means because they are not chemically bonded to one another, hence, no chemical reactions are needed to separate different parts of gravel into pure substances. This makes gravel a MIXTURE.
Q = m x c x ΔT
2500 = 0.135 x C x 80.5
2500 = 10.8765 x C
C = 230.043 J/Kg.K
hope this helps
The question requires us to explain the differences in radii of neutral atoms, cations and anions.
To answer this question, we need to keep in mind that a neutral atom presents the same number of protons (positive particles) and electrons (negative particles). Another important information is that the protons are located in the nucleus of the atom, while the electrons are around the nucleus. Also, there is an electrostatic force between protons and electrons, which means that they the protons tend to attract the electrons to the nucleus.
While a neutral atom presents the same number of protons and electrons, a cation is an ion with positive charge, which means it has lost one or more electrons. In a cation, the balance between protons and electrons doesn't exist anymore: now, there is more positive than negative charge (more protons than electrons), and the overall attractive force that the protons have for the electrons is increased. As a result, the electrons stay closer to the nucleus and the radius of a cation is smaller than the neutral atom from which it was derived.
On the other side, anions present negative charge, which means they have received electrons. Similarly to cations, the balance between protons and electrons doesn't exist anymore, but in this case, there are more electrons than protons. In an anion, the overall attractive force that the protons have for the electrons is decreased. As a result, the electrons are "more free" to move and, as they are not so attracted to the nucleus, they tend to stay farther from the positive nucleus compared to the neutral atom - because of this, the radius of an anion is larger than the neutral atom from which it was derived.
After dipping the litmus paper strips in the solutions, the answer to the question is that one is acidic because according to brad's observation on turned red and the others are basic or alkaline with the two papers turning blue.
