Answer:

1) Temperature

When salts like KNO3, NANO3 and KCl are added in water the test tube ecomes cold, which means the heat is being absorbed. Solubility usually increases with increase in temperature for such solutes.

On the other hand, when salts like Li2SO4 and Ce2(SO4)3 are dissolved in water, test tube turns warm which indicates the heat is released. In such cases the solubility of salt decreases with increase in temperature.

In some cases,the heat is neither absorbed nor releasedwhen dissolved in water. When salts like NaCl is added in water, the temperature remains the same, and hence temperature has minimal effect on solubility.

2) Pressure

The solubility of solid and liquids aren't affected by pressure but the solubility of gas in a liquid is directly propotional to the pressure of gas. This is also explained through Henry's Law. i.e.

m ∝ P or m = KP

where "m" is the amount of gas dissolved.

Hope that helps, it might be a little too detailed and lenthy, but it explains everything you asked.

Explanation:

There are two direct factors that affect solubility: temperature and pressure. Temperature affects the solubility of both solids and gases, but pressure only affects the solubility of gases.

A six row combin harvests 266 pounds of corn per min. How many bushels of corn does it harvest per hour? (Note: 1 Bu = 56 Lbs) R

kiruha [24]

Answer:

The six-row combin harvests 285 bushels of corn per hour.

Explanation:

The rule of three or is a way of solving problems of proportionality between three known values and an unknown value, establishing a relationship of proportionality between all of them. That is, what is intended with it is to find the fourth term of a proportion knowing the other three.

If the relationship between the magnitudes is direct, you can apply the following formula:

a ⇒ b

c ⇒ x

So: $x=\frac{a*b}{c}$

In this case you can apply it in the following way: if 56 pounds is equal to 1 bushel, 266 pounds to how many bushels is it?

$x=\frac{266 pounds*1 bushel}{56 pounds}$

x=4.75

This is, a six row combin harvests 4.75 bushels of corn per min.

So, being 1 hour equal to 60 minutes, you can apply the following rule of three: if in 1 minute a six-row harvester harvests , in 60 minutes how many bushels of corn it harvests?

$bushels of corn=\frac{60 minutes*4.75 bushels of corn}{1minute}$

bushels of corn= 285

The six-row combin harvests 285 bushels of corn per hour.

Which statement applies to electronegativity?

densk [106]

Answer: The correct answer is Option A.

Explanation:

Electronegativity is defined as the tendency of an atom to attract the shared pair of electrons towards itself whenever a bond is formed.

This property increases as we move from left to right across a period because the number of charge on the nucleus gets increased and electrons are attracted more towards the nucleus.

This property decreases as we move from top to bottom in a group because the electrons get add up in the new shells which make them further away from the nucleus.

Thus, the correct answer is Option A.
