Sorry I didn't see this before...
Okay, I see two major problems with this student's experiment:
1) Nitric acid Won't Dissolve in Methane
Nitric acid is what's called a mineral acid. That means it is inorganic (it doesn't contain carbon) and dissolves in water.
Methane is an organic molecule (it contains carbon). It literally cannot dissolve nitric acid. Here's why:
For nitric acid (HNO3) to dissolve into a solvent, that solvent must be polar. It must have a charge to pull the positively charged Hydrogen off of the Oxygen. Methane has no charge, since its carbon and hydrogens have nearly perfect covalent bonds. Thus it cannot dissolve nitric acid. There will be no solution. That leads to the next problem:
2) He's Not actually Measuring a Solution
He's picking up the pH of the pure nitric acid. Since it didn't dissolve, what's left isn't a solution—it's like mixing oil and water. He has groups of methane and groups of nitric acid. Since methane is perfectly neutral (neither acid nor base), the electronic instrument is only picking up the extremely acidic nitric acid. There's no point to what he's doing.
Does that help?
64 miles/hour
Therefore 1/64 hours/mile
68 miles * 1/64 hours/mile (notice how miles cancels out)
Therefore the answer is 68/64 hours = 1.0625 hours = 1 hour 3min and 45sec.
Answer:
Upward direction.
The friction is kinetic friction
Answer:
0.5 mph in the opposite direction
Explanation:
= Mass of Cadillac = 1000 kg
= Velocity of Cadillac = 1 mph
= Mass of Volkswagen = 2000 kg
= Velocity of Volkswagen
In order to know the speed the system must have the momentum exchange
As the linear momentum of the system is conserved
The speed of the impact is given by 0.5 mph in the opposite direction
Answer:
1. Belize has a high birth rate and a low death rate.
2. Belize will have a rapidly growing population over the next twenty years.
Explanation:
Belize has a high birth rate and a low death rate. Belize is in the phase II of the demographic transition model. Their population is growing exponentially. This is due to lowering death rates while the birth rates are still high.
Belize will have a rapidly growing population over the next twenty years. When the age structure diagram has a wider base than the middle or top age groups, this indicates a population that is rapidly growing. Belize is early in the transition model and still has high birth rates. Countries like Belize typically have lower opportunities for education for women of reproductive age, can have high infant mortality, and can have high emigration rates.
