A water molecule, abbreviated as H2O, is an example of a polar covalent bond. The electrons are unequally shared, with the oxygen atom spending more time with electrons than the hydrogen atoms. Since electrons spend more time with the oxygen atom, it carries a partial negative charge.
For which of the following activities might you want to hire a chemist?
Answer: D. testing a rock sample for gold content
Which of the following procedures involves a physical change in one of the substances?
Answer: C. separating a salt solution by evaporating the water
Answer:
V ∝ abc
Explanation:
This task is a joint variation task involving only direct proportionality:
Direct variation is one in which two variables are in direct proportionality to each other. This means that as one increases, the other variable also increases and vice - versa.
Joint variation is one in which one variable is dependent on two or more variables and varies directly as each of them.
In this exercise:
If a ∝ b and a ∝ c, then a ∝ bc
Taking the above three proportionalities,
V ∝ a ∝ b ∝ c
V ∝ a ∝ bc
V ∝ abc
