This question is asking for a method for the determination of the freezing point in a solution that does not have a noticeable transition in the cooling curve, which is basically based on a linear fit method.

The first step, would be to understand that when the transition is well-defined as the one on the attached file, we can just identify the temperature by just reading the value on the graph, at the time the slope has a pronounced change. For instance, on the attached, the transition occurs after about 43 seconds and the freezing point will be about 4 °C.

However, when we cannot identify a pronounced change in the slope, it will be necessary to use a linear fit method (such as minimum squares) to figure out the equation for each segmented line having a significantly different slope and then equal them so that we can numerically solve for the intercept.

As an example, imagine two of the segmented lines have the following equations after applying the linear fit method:

y=-3.5 x + 25\\\\y=-0.52 x + 2

First of all, we equal them to find the x-value, in this case the time at which the freezing point takes place:

-3.5 x + 25=-0.52 x + 2\\\\-3.5 x+0.52 x =2-25\\\\x=\frac{-23}{-2.98}=7.72

Next, we plug it in in any of the trendlines to obtain the freezing point as the y-value:

y=-3.5 (7.72) + 25\\\\y = 1.84

This means the freezing point takes place after 7.72 second of cooling and is about 1.84 °C. Now you can replicate it for any not well-defined cooling curve.

Iteru [2.4K]

Answer:

The two statements are all True for group 7 and 8 elements.

Explanation:

The Group 7 elements are known as the halogens. They are reactive non-metals and are always found in compounds with other elements. Chlorine, bromine and iodine are all halogens.

Chlorine, bromine and iodine are the three common Group 7 elements. Group 7 elements form salts when they react with metals. The term ‘halogen’ means 'salt former'.

In addition to the discription given to norble gases in the question which is true, norble gases;

  •     are inert gases located on the right of the periodic table.
  •     have a full-set of valence electrons, so they're stable, unreactive
  •     are colorless, odorless and tasteless.
  •     have low melting and low boiling points.
  •     can be found in small amounts in the Earth's crust and the Earth's atmosphere.

Zinaida [17]

Answer:

nucleic acid

Explanation:

ATP -

In the living organisms it is a very important source of energy for various biological processes like chemical synthesis , nerve impulse propagation and contraction of muscles , is referred to as Adenosine triphosphate ( ATP ) .

ATP is a nucleic acid , which is a single chain nucleotide , which is composed of ribose sugar along with three phosphate groups .

ATP is also known as the battery of the cell.

Hence , from the given information of the question ,

The correct term is nucleic acid.
