Answer:

The town should find a new source of water.

Explanation:

Step 1: Convert the mass of copper to milligrams

We will use the conversion factor 1 g = 1000 mg.

0.002 g × (1000 mg/1 g) = 2 mg

Step 2: Convert the mass of solution to kilograms

We will use the conversion factor 1 kg = 1000 g.

1000 g × (1 kg/1000 g) = 1 kg

Step 3: Calculate the concentration of Cu in ppm (mg/kg)

2 mg/1 kg = 2 ppm

This is over 1.3 ppm, so the town should find a new source of water.

List a few of the physical properties of buckyball
stepladder [879]

Buckyball or buckminster fullerene is the third allotrope of carbon. It contains 60 carbons which are arranged in the five and six membered rings. Buckyball is the cluster of carbon atoms which are arranged in spherical shape and it forms a hollow cage.

The physical properties are:

Buckyball is made up of huge number of molecules but giant covalent bond is not exist.

The forces between the individual buckyballs are weak intermolecular forces.

The substances which are made up of buckyballs has low melting point in comparison to other allotropes of carbon as low energy is required to overcome theses intermolecular forces.

The substances which are made up of buckyballs is slippery in nature.

The solutions of buckminster fullerene are deep purple in color and upon evaporation brown residue is obtained.

Buckyball is soft in comparison to graphite and when it is compressed to less than 70 percent of its volume then, it converts into superhard form of diamond.

Calculate the energy provided by a slice of bread containing 2 g of protein, 1 g of fat, and 20 g of carbohydrate. record your a
vichka [17]
 the energy gained by proteins and carbohydrates differs from the energy gained by fats.
proteins and carbohydrates both give 4 kcal per gram 
fats give 9 kcal per gram
mass of proteins - 2 g
energy given by proteins - 2 g x 4 kcal/g = 8 cal
mass of carbohydrates - 20 g 
energy given by carbohydrates - 20 g x 4 kcal/g = 80 cal
mass of fat - 1 g 
energy given by fat - 1 g x 9 kcal/g = 9 cal
total energy = 8 + 80 + 9 = 97 kcal
energy = 97 kcal

2) Which liberates the most energy?
evablogger [386]

Answer: F(g)+e^-\rightarrow F^-(g)

Explanation:

Electron gain enthalpy is defined as energy released on addition of electron to an isolated gaseous atom.  

The amount of energy released will be maximum when the tendency to attract electrons is maximum. As flourine has atomic number of 9 and has electronic configuration of 2,7. It can readily gain 1 electron to attain stable noble gas configuration and hence liberates maximum energy.

F(g)+e^-\rightarrow F^-(g)

Question 6
Oksanka [162]

Answer:

Acid/String Electrolyte

Explanation:

Litmus paper turning red means it is an acidic solution. A pH of more than 7 is Base while pH of less than 7 is an acid. Since the pH is 2, less than 7, it s is an acid. Since it has a high electrical conductivity, it must be a strong Electrolyte.
