Stalactites and stalagmites form as ________ precipitates out of the water evaporating in underground caves.

Group of answer choices

hydrochloric acid

sodium bicarbonate

calcium carbonate

sodium chloride

sodium hydroxide

Answer:

calcium carbonate

Explanation:

A stalactite is an icicle-looking mould that is formed by the precipitation of natural minerals as a result of water dripping from the ceiling, hanging from a cave.

A stalagmites in the other hand, grows upwards and is also a mound that is formed by the deposits of minerals gotten by the water dripping on the floor of a cave.

Therefore, stalactites and stalagmites form as calcium carbonate precipitates out of the water evaporating in underground caves.

What is the endpoint of a titration?Select one:When there is no acid and all base.When the amount of acid and base are equal.Whe
user100 [1]

Answer:

The correct option is: When the amount of acid and base are equal

Explanation:

Titration is an analytic method that is used to determine the concentration of an<em> unknown solution</em>, called <em>titrand</em>.

In this method, standard solution of known concentration, called <em>titrant</em>, is taken in the burette and added drop-wise to the titrand solution in the flask, until the endpoint is reached.

In case of an acid-base titration, a <em>pH indicator</em> is used, which changes the color of the solution when the endpoint is reached.

<u>The </u><u>endpoint</u><u> indicates the </u><u>equivalence point</u><u> of an acid-base titration, where the </u><em><u>concentration of the acid and base is equal</u></em><u>. </u>

<u>Therefore, the </u><u>correct option</u><u> is: </u><u>When the amount of acid and base are equal</u>
