Answer:

C. the substance in which the solute dissolves

Explanation:

There are two terms in this... the solute and the solvent. The way I learned how to remember this is with a little pirate analogy: The loot (stolen treasure) always goes in the vent. So, the soLUTE goes in the solVENT.

Usually you would call this a saturated solution. I hope this helps.

10. Identify the products in the combustion of methane.

Oksanka [162]

Answer:

a. CO2 and H20

Explanation:

Chemically, this combustion process consists of a reaction between methane and oxygen in the air. When this reaction takes place, the result is carbon dioxide (CO2), water (H2O), and a great deal of energy. The following reaction represents the combustion of methane:

CH4[g] + 2 O2[g] -> CO2[g] + 2 H2O[g] + energy

One molecule of methane, (the [g] referred to above means it is gaseous form), combined with two oxygen molecules, react to form a carbon dioxide molecule, and two water molecules usually given off as steam or water vapor during the reaction and energy.

Which of the following is NOT a postulate of the Kinetic Molecular Theory?

kotegsom [21]

Answer:

"3. Energy can either be destroyed or created. Its goes from one form to another."

Explanation:

The third answer choice, "3. Energy can either be destroyed or created. Its goes from one form to another. " is related to the Law of Conservation of Energy from thermodynamics. Is it not a postulate of the Kinetic Molecular Theory.

"1. Average Kinetic Energy of the system is a measure of the temperature of the system."

Postulate of Kinetic Molecular Theory $\checkmark$

The average kinetic energy of the system is measured by its temperature and nothing else

"2. Energy is conserved in the collisions between gas molecules.."

Postulate of Kinetic Molecular Theory $\checkmark$

All collisions between gas molecules are perfectly elastic, meaning no energy is lost

"3. Energy can either be destroyed or created. Its goes from one form to another.

$\times$ NOT a Postulate of Kinetic Molecular Theory

Related to Conservation of Energy from thermodynamics

"4. Gases travel in straight line until they collide with other gas molecules"

Postulate of Kinetic Molecular Theory $\checkmark$

All gas molecules will travel in a straight line until they collide with other gas molecules or some object (e.g. a container)

What does it mean for a element of a group to have a order?

lisabon 2012 [21]

In group theory, a branch of mathematics, the term order is used in two unrelated senses:

The order of a group is its cardinality, i.e., the number of elements in its set. Also, the order, sometimes period, of an element a of a group is the smallest positive integer m such that am = e (where e denotes the identity element of the group, and am denotes the product of m copies of a). If no such m exists, a is said to have infinite order.The ordering relation of a partially or totally ordered group.

This article is about the first sense of order.

The order of a group G is denoted by ord(G) or | G | and the order of an element a is denoted by ord(a) or | a |.
