The magma in the mantle layer moves, and while it's moving the plates move as well, forming mountains, volcanoes, ridges, etc.

Why is water called "the universal solvent" and why is this important for living things?

Aleks [24]

As it dissolves a large number of solid, liquid and gaseous substances it's called a universal solvent. It's important for living thing because all of them depend on water to survive. For example, many organisms live in the water and they find some of the nutrients that are necessary for live dissolved in water - gases included.

A water bottle has a mass of 14.0g. Given a density of 1.38g/cm^3, what is the volume of the plastic used to make the water bott

Kipish [7]

Answer:

$\boxed{\sf Volume \ of \ plastic \ used = 10.14 \ cm^3}$

Given:

Mass = 14.0 g

Density ( $\rho$ ) = 1.38 g/cm³

To Find:

Volume (V)of the plastic used to make water bottle

Explanation:

Formula:

$\boxed{ \bold{Density \ (\rho) = \frac{Mass \ (m)}{Volume \ (V)}}}$

Substituting value of m & density in the formula:

$\sf \implies 1.38 = \frac{14.0}{V} \\ \\ \sf \implies V = \frac{14.0}{1.38} \\ \\ \sf \implies V = 10.14 \ cm^3$

$\therefore$

Volume of the plastic used to make water bottle = 10.14 cm³

Which of the following pairs lists a substance that can neutralize H2SO4 and the salt that would be produced from the reaction?

Bogdan [553]

The second option only.

LiOH, Li₂SO₄.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

A base neutralizes an acid when the two reacts to produce water and a salt.

Sulfuric acid H₂SO₄ is the acid here. There are more than one classes of bases that can neutralize H₂SO₄. Among the options, there are:

Metal hydroxides

Ca(OH)₂ and
LiOH.

Metal hydroxides react with sulfuric acid to produce water and the sulfate salt of the metal.

$\text{Ca}(\text{OH})_{\bf 2}+\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \to \textbf{Ca}\textbf{SO}_{\bf 4} +{\bf 2}\;\text{H}_2\text{O}$ .

The formula for calcium sulfate $\text{CaSO}_4$ in option A is spelled incorrectly. Why? The charge on each calcium $\text{Ca}^{2+}$ is +2. The charge on each sulfate ion ${\text{SO}_4}^{2-}$ is -2. Unlike $\text{Li}^{+}$ ions, it takes only one $\text{Ca}^{2+}$ ion to balance the charge on each ${\text{SO}_4}^{2-}$ ion. As a result, $\text{Ca}^{2+}$ and ${\text{SO}_4}^{2-}$ ions in calcium sulfate exist on a 1:1 ratio.

$2\;\text{LiOH} +\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \to \text{Li}_2\text{SO}_4 + 2\;\text{H}_2\text{O}$ .

Ammonia, NH₃

Ammonia NH₃ can also act as a base and neutralize acids. NH₃ exists as NH₄OH in water:

$\text{NH}_3 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \to \textbf{NH}_{\bf 4}\text{OH}$ .

The ion ${\text{NH}_4}^{+}$ acts like a metal cation. Similarly to the metal hydroxides, NH₃ (or NH₄OH) neutralizes H₂SO₄ to produce water and a salt:

$2\;\textbf{NH}_{\bf 4}\text{OH}+ \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \to (\textbf{NH}_{\bf 4})_2\text{SO}_4+2\;\text{H}_2\text{O}$ .

The formula of the salt (NH₄)₂SO₄ in the fourth option spelled the ammonium ion incorrectly.

As part of the salt (NH₄)₂SO₄, the ammonium ion NH₄⁺ is one of the products of this reaction and can't neutralize H₂SO₄ any further.
