That's good !  I never heard of that before.  (Maybe because
I've never been stung by an ant.)

When an ant bites or stings, it injects a tiny amount of 'formic acid'
into your skin.  Soon, the formic acid itches, burns, and stings, and
after a while, a little piece of skin dies and falls off.  Some people
are seriously allergic to it, and it can make them really sick.

'Acids' and 'bases' are opposites, and one can neutralize (cancel out)
the other.  Tony is putting a weak 'base' on the sting, to neutralize the
formic acid that the ant left him as a little gift.

A certain resistance thermometer read 14.5 ohms in pure melting ice and 18.5 ohms in steam at standard atmospheric pressure what
Vadim26 [7]

The resistance of the thermometer at room temperature is 15.04 ohms.

<h3 />

<h3>What is a resistance thermometer?</h3>

A resistance thermometer is a type of thermometer that measures temperature through a change in resistance.

To calculate the resistance of the thermometer at room temperature, we use the formula below.

Formula:

  • 100/27 = 2/(x-14.5)..............Eqquation 1

Where:

  • x = Resistance of the thermometer at room temperature

Make x the subject of the equation

  • x = [(27×2)/100]+14.5
  • x = (54/100)+14.5
  • x = 0.54+14.5
  • x = 15.04 ohms.

Hence, The resistance of the thermometer at room temperature is 15.04 ohms.

A closed container initially holds 50 monatomic Aparticles that have a combined energy of 480 units. After 100 monatomic B parti
Molodets [167]

Answer:

"8 units" is the appropriate answer.

Explanation:

According to the question,

Throughout equilibrium all particles are of equivalent intensity, and as such the integrated platform's total energy has been uniformly divided across all individuals.

Now,

The total energy will be:

= 480+720

= 1200 \ units

The total number of particles will be:

= 50+100

= 150

hence,

Energy of each A particle or each B particle will be:

= \frac{1200}{150}

= 8 \ units

If you put 120 volts of electricity through a pickle, the pickle will smoke and start glowing orange-yellow. The light is emitte
Alona [7]

Answer:

2.11eV

Explanation:

We know that speed of light is it's wavelength times frequency.

\therefore f=v/\lambda\\=(3\times10^8m/s)/(589mm\times1m/1\times 10^9nm)\\=5.09\times10^1^4s^-1 \ or \ 5.09\times10^1^4Hz

Planck's constant is 6.626\times 10^3^4Js

The energy gap is calculated by multyplying the light's frequency by planck's constant:

E_c=5.09\times10^1^4s^-^1\times 6.626\times10^-^3^4Js\\\\=3.37\times 10^-^1^9J  \ \ \ \ \ \ #1eV=1.06\times 10^-^1^9J\\\\=2.11eV

Hence, the energy gap is 2.11eV
