Answer:

Gold

Explanation:

We are given that

Mass of sample ,m=385 g

Volume ,V=20mL

We have to find the coin is gold or yellow brass.

We know that

Density=\frac{Mass}{volume}

Using the formula

Density=\frac{385}{20}g/mL

Density=19.25g/mL

Density\approx 19.3g/mL

Density of coin=19.3g/mL

Density of gold=19.3g/mL

Hence, the coin is gold.

Why is a thermos considered a (mostly) closed system? Question 3 options: different types of liquids stay hot thermoses come in
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

Different types of hot or cold items can be stored in a thermos and power cannot enter or exit the system when the thermos lid is tightly closed

Explanation:

Closed systems are those that do not interact or do not exchange energy with the environment that surrounds them, that is why internal temperatures and conditions are maintained.

The human body is an open system, that is, it would be the opposite of the thermos since we constantly exchange energy with the environment through sweating, emission of gases, urine, feces, and the ingestion of food.

Thermoses are systems specially created to maintain a medium, it will be maintained if its lid is hermetically closed to prevent heat leakage or entry in situations of cold fluids.

Rank the ions in order of increasing basicity: CH3NH-, CH3CH2-, CH30-
Alexxx [7]

In order to find out the ranking of ions basicity, check the pKa values of each ions. The principle that you need to remember is that the stronger the acid the weaker the corresponding conjugate base. The pKa dictates acid value of the compound. The answer would be CH3NH, CH3O-, and CH3CH2-.
