Answer:

Nitrogen and oxygen are by far the most common; dry air is composed of about 78% nitrogen (N 2) and about 21% oxygen (O 2).

In short, Nitrogen

Density is the ratio of a sample's mass to its volume. A bar of lead has a mass of 115.2 g. When it is submerged in 25.0 mL of w

Margarita [4]

Answer:

$10.97 \ g/cm^3$

Explanation:

Given :

Mass of a bar of lead = 115.2 g

Initial water level $\text{in the graduated cylinder}$ = 25 mL

Final water level $\text{in the graduated cylinder}$ = 35.5 mL

Difference in the water level = 35.5 - 25

= 10.5 mL

= $10.5 \ cm^3$

We know that when a body is submerged in water, it displaces its own volume of water.

Therefore, the volume of the lead bar = volume of the water displaced = 10.5 mL = $10.5 \ cm^3$

We know that mathematically, density is the ratio of mass of body to its volume.

Density of the lead bar is given by :

$\rho =\frac{\text{mass}}{\text{volume}}$

$\rho =\frac{\text{115.2 g}}{\text{10.5 cm}^3}$

= $10.97 \ g/cm^3$

Which type of carbon fixation stores carbon dioxide in acid form?. a. C3. b. C4. c. CAM. d. all of the above

Tcecarenko [31]

Answer is: c) CAM.

CAM (crassulacean acid metabolism) is a carbon fixation pathway.

In plants with CAM carbon fixation, carbon dioxide is stored as the malic acid malate in vacuoles at night.

During the daytime, the malic acid is transported to chloroplasts where it is converted back to carbon dioxide, which is then used during photosynthesis.

Malic acid is an organic dicarboxylic acid with the molecular formula C₄H₆O₅.

We make a basic solution by mixing 50. mL of 0.10 M NaOH and 50. mL of 0.10 M Ca(OH)2. It requires 250 mL of an HCl solution to

andreyandreev [35.5K]

Answer: The correct answer is Option 5.

Explanation:

To calculate the molarity of the solution after mixing 2 solutions, we use the equation:

$M=\frac{n_1M_1V_1+n_2M_2V_2}{V_1+V_2}$

where,

$n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of the NaOH.

$n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of the $Ca(OH)_2$

We are given:

$n_1=1\\M_1=0.10M\\V_1=50mL\\n_2=2\\M_2=0.1\\V_2=50mL$

Putting all the values in above equation, we get:

$M=\frac{(1\times 0.1\times 50)+(2\times 0.1\times 50)}{50+50}\\\\M=0.15M$

To calculate the molarity of acid, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

$n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2$

where,

$n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is $HCl$

$n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base.

We are given:

$n_1=1\\M_1=?M\\V_1=250mL\\n_2=1\\M_2=0.15M\\V_2=100mL$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1\times M_1\times 250=1\times 0.15\times 100\\\\M_1=0.06M$

Hence, the correct answer is Option 5.
