Out of the following given choice:

A.  The increase in the airspace occupied by vinegar molecules

B. The chemical reaction with nerves, which is slower than other sensory processes

C. Attractive forces between the air and vinegar molecules

D. Random collisions between the air and vinegar molecules.

<span>The answer is D. While the particles may be moving at high velocities even at room temperatures, the delay is due to the numerous collisions between the vinegar molecules and the air molecules.This changes the vinegar’s molecules directions from straight lines to random unpredictable paths</span>

Sulfuric acid reacts with aluminum hydroxide by double replacement. if 34 g of sulfuric acid react with 33 g of aluminum hydroxi
Lina20 [59]
Answer is: sulfuric acid is the limiting reactant.
Chemical reaction: 3H₂SO₄ + 2Al(OH)₃ → Al₂(SO₄)₃ + 6H₂O.
m(H₂SO₄) = 34 g.
n(H₂SO₄) = m(H₂SO₄) ÷ M(H₂SO₄).
n(H₂SO₄) = 34 g ÷ 98 g/mol.
n(H₂SO₄) = 0,346 mol.
m(Al(OH)₃) = 33 g.
n(Al(OH)₃) = 33 g ÷ 78 g/mol.
n(Al(OH)₃) = 0,423 mol.
From chemical reaction: n(H₂SO₄) : n(Al(OH)₃) = 3 : 2.

4NH3+5O2-4NO+6H2O<br>how many moles of NH3 must react to produce 5.0 moles of NO?​
tresset_1 [31]

Answer: 5.0 moles

Explanation:

From the equation, we see that for every 4 moles of ammonia consumed, 4 moles of nitrogen monoxide are produced (we can reduce this to moles of ammonia consumed = moles of nitrogen monoxide produced).

This means that the answer is <u>5.0 mol</u>

Describe the characteristics of the moon and the Earth for each phase of the
Yuri [45]
Before we describe the phases of the Moon, let's describe what they're not. Some people mistakenly believe the phases come from Earth's shadow cast on the Moon. Others think that the Moon changes shape due to clouds. These are common misconceptions, but they're not true. Instead, the Moon's phase depends only on its position relative to Earth and the Sun.

The Moon doesn't make its own light, it just reflects the Sun's light as all the planets do. The Sun always illuminates one half of the Moon. Since the Moon is tidally locked, we always see the same side from Earth, but there's no permanent "dark side of the Moon." The Sun lights up different sides of the Moon as it orbits around Earth – it's the fraction of the Moon from which we see reflected sunlight that determines the lunar phase.
