Answer:

Initially, the ballast tanks are filled with water. The weight of the submarine is equal to the upthrust of the water at the position of the submarine under water. When high pressure air is released into the ballast tanks displacing the water, the weight of the submarine becomes less than the upthrust of the water thus the net force is is upwards and it forces the sub to resurface. This is according to the Archimedes principle which states that a a body partially or wholly immersed in water displaces its own weight of the fluid in which it is immersed.

Which term is defined as the change in the direction of light when it goes from one medium into a different medium?

vovikov84 [41]

The term defined as the change in direction of light when it goes from one medium into a different medium is refraction.

Refraction is the change of direction on the propagation of a beam of light when it passes from a medium to other; this only happens when the light travels at different speeds in both media.

When a beam of light that travels in the air incedes in a slab of glass, part of the beam is reflected (bounces) and part is refracted (it penetrates in the glass and changes the angle).

Also,due to the different speeds of light in air and water, when a beam of light passes from air to water, it refracts.

Suppose you used 0.5 M NaOH to titrate your vinegar sample instead of 0.1 M. What effect does the concentration of base added ha

laiz [17]

Answer: the reliability will be worse

Explanation:

Suppose we used 0.5 M NaOH to titrate our vinegar sample instead of 0.1 M.

Now by using 0.5M instead of 0.1M we are increasing the concentration of NaOH,

We know that the moles used = Volume x concnetration.

so for the same no of moles, if the concentration increases, the volume decreases.

Hence it will consume less NaOH.

now Since the volume decreases, the titration volume of less number will increase the % error.

Therefore the reliability will be worse.

Please help with this, i don't really get how to do this

LuckyWell [14K]

#4 and #5:
To find pH given concentration of H+ or H30+
pH = - log (H+ or H30+ M)

To find pH given concentration of OH-
Since you already found the pH for this (in #4), you subtract #4's answer from 14.
14 - (pH) = pOH

Write a balanced equation for the double-replacement precipitation reaction described, using the smallest possible integer coeff

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

NH4Br + AgNO3 —> AgBr + NH4NO3

Explanation:

When ammonium bromide and silver(I) nitrate react, the following are obtained as shown below:

NH4Br(aq) + AgNO3(aq) —>

In solution, NH4Br(aq) and AgNO3(aq) will dissociate as follow:

NH4Br(aq) —> NH4+(aq) + Br-(aq)

AgNO3(aq) —> Ag+(aq) + NO3-(aq)

The double displacement reaction will occur as follow:

NH4+(aq) + Br-(aq) + Ag+(aq) + NO3-(aq) —> Ag+(aq) + Br-(aq) + NH4+(aq) + NO3-(aq)

NH4Br(aq) + AgNO3(aq) —> AgBr(s) + NH4NO3(aq)

Answer:

C.) 35

Explanation:

The mass is made up of the total protons and neutrons in an atom. Protons and neutrons both have a mass of 1 amu. Electrons are not included in this measurement because they have an insignificant mass (practically 0).

(17 protons x 1 amu) + (18 neutrons x 1 amu) = 35 amu

Therefore, if an atom contains 17 protons and 18 neutrons, the mass should be 35 amu.
