Answer:

Acids break down fabrics and can cause burns if the acids are strong.

Explanation:

A protective apron or lab coat is important when working with acids because acids break down fabrics and can cause burns if the acids are strong.

An acid is a substance that interacts with water to produce excess hydroxonium ions in an aqueous solution.
A strong acid ionizes completely in solution.
When they come in contact with a fabric, they break them down violently.
So, if they come in contact with the skin, it causes a violent break down of body tissues.
The apron acts a protective layer.

Resonance structures have _______ connectivity of atoms and _______ distribution of electrons.

Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

Resonance structures have same connectivity of atoms and differ only in distribution of electrons.

Explanation:

Atoms supply the electrons from their outer electron shells. Electrons are found free in nature and are grouped around the nucleus into shells. Electrons can be further explained as negatively charged subatomic particle. Electrons have properties of both particles and waves and they can be moved around.

Resonance structures are imaginary structures and not all of them are created equally. Resonance structures have two or more possible electron structures, and, the resonance structures for a particular substance sometimes have different energy and stability. When resonance structures are identical, they are important descriptions of the molecule. The position of the atoms is the same in the various resonance structures of a compound, but the electrons are distributed differently around the structure.

Which is the correct interpretation of the formula mgf2? the lattice contains 1 magnesium atom for every 2 fluorine atoms. the l

mixer [17]

Answer: the lattice contains 1 magnesium ion for every 2 fluoride ions.

$MgF_2$ is an ionic compound. It contains positive ions of Magnesium and and negative ions of Fluorine. To balance the +2 positive charge of one magnesium ion, two (-1) negatively charged Fluorine ions are present. Hence, The correct interpretation of $MgF_2$ is that the lattice contains 1 Magnesium ion for every 2 Fluoride ions.

Suppose a rocket ship accelerates upwards with acceleration equal in magnitude to twice the magnitude of g (we say that the rock

pashok25 [27]

Answer:

a) $s_a=98100\ m$ is the height where the rocket stops accelerating and its fuel is finished and starts decelerating while it still continues to move in the upward direction.

b) $v_a=1962\ m.s^{-1}$ is speed of the rocket going when it stops accelerating.

c) $H=294300\ m$

d) $t_T=544.95\ s$

e) Zero, since the average velocity is the net displacement per unit time and when the rocket strikes back the earth surface the net displacement is zero.

Explanation:

Given:

acceleration of rocket, $a=2g=2\times 9.81=19.62\ m.s^{-2}$

time for which the rocket accelerates, $t_a=100\ s$

For the course of upward acceleration:

using eq. of motion,

$s_a=ut+\frac{1}{2}at_a^2$

where:

$u=$ initial velocity of the rocket at the launch $=0$

$s_a=$ height the rocket travels just before its fuel finishes off

so,

$s_a=0+\frac{1}{2}\times 19.62\times 100^2$

a) $s_a=98100\ m$ is the height where the rocket stops accelerating and its fuel is finished and starts decelerating while it still continues to move in the upward direction.

Now the velocity of the rocket just after the fuel is finished:

$v_a=u+at_a$

$v_a=0+19.62\times 100$

b) $v_a=1962\ m.s^{-1}$ is speed of the rocket going when it stops accelerating.

After the fuel is finished the rocket starts to decelerates. So, we find the height of the rocket before it begins to fall back towards the earth.

Now the additional height the rocket ascends before it begins to fall back on the earth after the fuel is consumed completely, at this point its instantaneous velocity is zero:

using equation of motion,

$v^2=v_a^2-2gh$

where:

$g=$ acceleration due to gravity

$v=$ final velocity of the rocket at the top height

$0^2=1962^2-2\times 9.81\times h$

$h=196200\ m$

c) So the total height at which the rocket gets:

$H=h+s$

$H=196200+98100$

$H=294300\ m$

Time taken by the rocket to reach the top height after the fuel is over:

$v=v_a+g.t$

$0=1962-9.81t$

$t=200\ s$

Now the time taken to fall from the total height:

$H=v.t'+\frac{1}{2}\times gt'^2$

$294300=0+0.5\times 9.81\times t'^2$

$t'=244.95\ s$

Hence the total time taken by the rocket to strike back on the earth:

$t_T=t_a+t+t'$

$t_T=100+200+244.95$

$t_T=544.95\ s$

Zero, since the average velocity is the net displacement per unit time and when the rocket strikes back the earth surface the net displacement is zero.
