Answer:

Covering electrical wires in plastic guarantees that the electrons flowing through the wires will not flow through your body when the wire is touched.

Explanation:

"The purpose of insulation covering the metal part of an electrical wire is to prevent accidental contact with other conductors of electricity, which might result in an unintentional electric current through those other conductors."

Explain why it is harder to remove an inner shell electrons than a valence electron from an atom
VMariaS [17]
<span> It makes sense that an inner shell electron would be tougher to remove than a valence electron because the inner shell electron is closer to the positive nucleus of the atom. Seeing as an electron caries a negative charge it would be too attracted to the positive core to leave readily. Also, the inner shell electrons are constantly repelling electrons outside of it's energy level (however the reason these electrons outside innershell energy levels don't simply fly away is the charge of the positive core overcomes the smaller charges of the comparably negligible inner shell electrons, but that repulsion is still there so keep that in mind) </span>

what volume of a 0.149 m potassium hydroxide solution is required to neutralize 17.0 ml of a 0.112 m hydrobromic acid solution?
IgorLugansk [536]

Answer: 12.78ml

Explanation:

Given that:

Volume of KOH Vb = ?

Concentration of KOH Cb = 0.149 m

Volume of HBr Va = 17.0 ml

Concentration of HBr Ca = 0.112 m

The equation is as follows

HBr(aq) + KOH(aq) --> KBr(aq) + H2O(l)

and the mole ratio of HBr to KOH is 1:1 (Na, Number of moles of HBr is 1; while Nb, number of moles of KOH is 1)

Then, to get the volume of a 0.149 m potassium hydroxide solution Vb, apply the formula (Ca x Va)/(Cb x Vb) = Na/Nb

(0.112 x 17.0)/(0.149 x Vb) = 1/1

(1.904)/(0.149Vb) = 1/1

cross multiply

1.904 x 1 = 0.149Vb x 1

1.904 = 0.149Vb

divide both sides by 0.149

1.904/0.149 = 0.149Vb/0.149

12.78ml = Vb

Thus, 12.78 ml of potassium hydroxide solution is required.

What are slime Molds?
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

Slime mold or slime mould is an informal name given to several kinds of unrelated eukaryotic organisms that can live freely as single cells, but can aggregate together to form multicellular reproductive structures. Slime molds were formerly classified as fungi but are no longer considered part of that kingdom.
