Answer:

yes, in certain cases

there are different types of bondings between atoms

and in some they lend electrons to make their atom stable this type of bonding is called ionic bonding

and in covalent bond the atoms share their electrons

acetic acid or vinegar boils sooner than water. if you had a mixture of acetic acid and water, you could seperate it by?

melomori [17]

Since acetic acid or vinegar boils sooner than water and vinegar and water are highly miscible, we cant separate the two by filtration but one way is to use their volatilities. We can boil the solution at 100oC and thats the time, water remains in the container.

A gas originally at 27 °c and 1.00 atm pressure in a 2.6 l flask is cooled at constant pressure until the temperature is 11 °c.

elena55 [62]

Charles law gives the relationship between volume and temperature of gas at constant pressure
it states that at constant pressure, volume of gas is directly proportional to temperature
V/T = k
where V - volume T - temperature and k - constant
$\frac{V1}{T1} = \frac{V2}{T2}$
parameters for the first instance are on the left side of the equation and parameters for the second instance are on the right side of the equation
T1 - temperature in Kelvin - 27 °C + 273 = 300 K
T2 - 11 °C + 273 = 284 K
substituting the values in the equation
2.6 L / 300 K = V / 284 K
V = 2.46 L
New volume of the gas is 2.46 L

If there are no changes in the oxidation state of the reactants or products of a particular reaction, that reaction is not a red

dmitriy555 [2]

Yes, that is true. in order for it to be a redox reaction, both oxidation and reduction must be occurring.

Which statements describe the six elements found in all living things? Check all that apply.

vovangra [49]

Answer:

Carbon is the basis of all living things

Nitrogen is found in certain foods

Oxygen and hydrogen combine with each other to form water

Carbon, oxygen, hydrogen, nitrogen, phosphorus and sulfur are found in organic compounds

Explanation:

We are all made up of mainly three elements, Carbon, Hydrogen, and Oxygen. These three elements are found in every living organism on our planet, and along with a few trace elements, they make up all the nutrients we take in and use to build our bodies and survive.

Nitrogen is primarily found in meats, and this is because nitrogen is a key element in amino acids (which are used to build proteins), however we cannot directly assimilate nitrogen from the air, so we have to assimilate it through amino acids already synthesized in plants, or in proteins found in meat.

The chemical formula for water is H₂O. Seeing the chemical formula, it is obvious that hydrogen and oxygen are the only elements in the water molecule.

In our bodies, we use phosphorus to form our skeleton and help maintain it, sulfur and nitrogen can be found in some amino acids, and carbon, hydrogen and oxygen can be found in carbohydrates, lipids and proteins.
