Answer:
See explanation
Explanation:
Given that the density of the unknown substance is 0.79 g/cm3 and is soluble in water, the possible substances it could be are;
i) t-butanol
ii) ethanol
iii) 2-propanol
iv) acetone
However, the actual identity of the unknown substance can be obtained by carrying out a boiling point test. The four substances listed above have different boiling points. Hence the boiling point of the unknown substance ultimately discloses its identity.
Answer:
Solid materials that do not possess an orderly arrangement of atoms are called glasses (mineraloids).
Explanation:
A Mineraloid is a natural, inorganic, amorphous (lacking "defined chemical composition") solid body that does not exhibit crystallinity. It exhibits characteristics similar to those of minerals, but does not have the "ordered atomic structure" necessary to meet the definition of a mineral.
Glasses or colloids have a totally random structure on an atomic scale. They are amorphous and get the honorary name of mineraloid.

Answer:
The electromagnetic waves appear more blue in color.
Explanation:
Doppler's Effect: When a source moves with respect to the observer the frequency of the wave emitted from the source changes. If the source moves away from the observer, the frequency decreases and wavelength increases and vice versa.
Here the light source is moving towards the observer so the frequency will increase and wavelength will decrease. Thus the spectrum will shift towards the blue part. This is known as blue shift. The light wave will appear blue in color.
Answer:
a) x = (0.0114 ± 0.0001) in
, b) the number of decks is 5
Explanation:
a) The thickness of the deck of cards (d) is measured and the thickness of a card (x) is calculated
x = d / 52
x = 0.590 / 52
x = 0.011346 in
Let's look for uncertainty
Δx = dx /dd Δd
Δx = 1/52 Δd
Δx = 1/52 0.005
Δx = 0.0001 in
The result of the calculation is
x = (0.0114 ± 0.0001) in
b) You want to reduce the error to Δx = 0.00002, the number of cards to be measured is
#_cards = n 52
The formula for thickness is
x = d / n 52
Uncertainty
Δx = 1 / n 52 Δd
n = 1/52 Δd / Δx
n = 1/52 0.005 / 0.00002
n = 4.8
Since the number of decks must be an integer the number of decks is 5
