Answer:
4. If cotton plants need a consistent amount of water to grow steadily, then a cotton plant that displays steady growth will receieve 100 mL of water every day.
Explanation:
Hypotheses are written in the format of "If... then...". It should include information on both variables to arrive at a conclusion point.
Answer:
0.72 g of the lower oxide gave 0.8 g of higher oxide when oxidised. ... Thus, 90g of lower oxide contains as much metal as 100g of higher oxide, i.e., 80g (given). Hence, 80g of metal combines with 10g of oxygen in the lower oxide and 20g of oxygen in the higher oxide.
Answer:
- <u><em>It is positive when the bonds of the product store more energy than those of the reactants.</em></u>
Explanation:
The <em>standard enthalpy of formation</em>, <em>ΔHf</em>, is defined as the energy required to form 1 mole of a substance from its contituent elements under standard conditions of pressure and temperature.
Then, per defintion, when the elements are already at their standard states, there is not energy involved to form them from that very state; this is, the standard enthalpy of formation of the elements in their standard states is zero.
It is not zero for the compounds in its standard state, because energy should be released or absorbed to form the compounds from their consituent elements. Thus, the first choice is false.
When the bonds of the products store more energy than the those of the reactants, the difference is:
- ΔHf = ΔHf products - ΔHf reactants > 0, meaning that ΔHf is positive. Hence, the second statement is true.
Third is false because forming the compounds may require to use (absorb) or release (produce) energy, which means that ΔHf could be positive or negative.
Fourth statement is false, because the standard state of many elements is not liquid. For example, it is required to supply energy to iron to make it liquid. Thus, the enthalpy of formation of iron in liquid state is not zero.
Answer:
Explanation:
A property closely related to an atom's mass number is its atomic mass. The atomic mass of a single atom is simply its total mass and is typically expressed in atomic mass units or amu.
