Consider the double replacement reaction given below: HgNO3(aq) + KBr(aq) → HgBr (??) + KNO3(??)The state of matter for HgBr wou

Andreas93 [3]

Answer: The state of maater for HgBr is solid.

Explanation:

A double displacement reaction is one in which exchange of ions take place. The salts which are soluble in water are designated by symbol (aq) and those which are insoluble in water and remain in solid form are represented by (s) after their chemical formulas.

A double displacement reaction in which one of the product is formed as a solid is called as precipitation reaction.

The balanced chemical equation is:

$HgNO_3(aq)+KBr(aq)\rightarrow HgBr(s)+KNO_3(aq)$

If someone was falling through the sky, would time go faster or slower than someone on land?

mestny [16]

As such, all objects free fall at the same rate regardless of their mass. Because the 9.8 N/kg gravitational field at Earth's surface causes a 9.8 m/s/s acceleration of any object placed there, we often call this ratio the acceleration of gravity.

The time is the same it just feels faster because your literally falling from the sky and since your scared it will either go by slower or faster
