Robert Merton identified two important concepts in society: functions and dysfunctions.

Functions are the positive consequences of a particular action. These can be manifest (consequences people observe or expect) or latent (not recognized of intended). On the other hand, dysfunctions are those consequences that are negative, and which are unintended or unrecognized.

In this case, the initial action is to reduce funding for education and training. However, this has a negative consequence which is unintended: the fact that workers do not have the skills needed for the job. Therefore, the behaviour is dysfunctional.

Why is it better to allow the solvent front to move almost to the top of a paper strip rather than stopping it at the halfway po
m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

To allow all the elements or compounds to separate complete.

Explanation:

In chromatography, the compounds need some space and time to separate, one from each other, if you  just use the half of the paper strip maybe you will not notice the different spots of compounds. Remember all the substances have different affinity for the solvents, that means, some react very quickly but others need more time as the colors that conform the black color in an ink.

The reaction 2no2 ? 2no + o2 follows second-order kinetics. at 300 °c, [no2] drops from 0.0100 m to 0.00650 m in 100.0 s. the ra
Ulleksa [173]
For a second order kinetics, the reaction rate expression would be

-r = -dCa / dt = kCa^2    where k is the reaction constant and Ca is the concentration of reactant A.

Integrating this from Cao to Caf, will have the expression,

1/Caf - 1/Cao = kt

Substituting the given values and calculating for k,

1/0.00650 - 1/0.0100 = k(100)
k = 0.538 / M-s

What is the oxidation state of cr in CrPO4 and Cr3(PO4)2?
soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

Oxidation state of Cr in CrPO₄

As a general rule, the algebraic sum of all the oxidation numbers of all atoms in a neutral compound is zero.

The compound above is in its neutral state and we sum all the oxidation numbers and equate to zero:

The oxidation number of P is -2

                                           O is -2

Let the oxidation number of Cr be x:

                              x + (-2) + 4(-2) = 0

                              x -2-8 = 0

                               x -10 = 0

                                x = +10

For Cr in Cr₃(PO₄)₂

         Using the same rule:

        2(x) + 2[-2 + 4(-2)] = 0

           2x + 2(-2-8) = 0

            2x -20 = 0

                x = +10

If 5.65 grams of zinc metal react with 21.6 grams of silver nitrate, how many grams of silver metal can be formed and how many g
Igoryamba
The balanced chemical reaction is:

Zn + 2AgNO3 =  Zn(NO3)2 + 2Ag

To determine the amount of the reactant left, we have to determine which is the limiting and the excess reactant. We do as follows:

5.65 g Zn ( 1 mol / 65.38 g) = 0.09 mol Zn
21.6 g AgNO3 (1 mol / 169.87 g) = 0.13 mol AgNO3

The limiting reactant would be silver nitrate since it is consumed completely in the reaction. The excess reactant would be zinc. 

Excess Zinc = 0.09 mol Zn - (0.13 / 2) mol Zn = 0.025 mol Zn left
