To make it softer and more malleable

Answer:

Because solo gold isn't strong material. But with admixture it's stronger.

Explanation:

In order for the mixture of gold and added metals to become hard and suitable for processing.

Explanation: Gold is precious metal, it has a great value, and it used to serve as a means of payment, but also proof of wealth, status and power. Gold as such is soft, and in order to improve hardness it is mixed with another metal, such as nickel, copper, palladium, zinc, etc. For example, white gold is obtained with a mixture of pure gold and nickel, which gives the mixture a white color, and is sufficiently tough suitable for making rings. Based on the composition of the mixture that is the percentage of gold in the mixture, the number of karats is determined, which also means the value of gold itself. For example, the 999 gold has 99.9% of the gold in the mixture, which means 24 K (karats), and represents the so-called mixture with the most valuable percentage of gold, or the purest of which can be purchased.

1. what is an ethical concern about biotechnology
Anastasy [175]

Answer:

1. There are so many ethical concerns about biotechnology, some Ethical issues that arise from the application of modern biotechnologies include:

Discrimination of individuals because of their health or health history as a result of knowing their genetic information,  minimizing harms while maximizing benefits, Interference with nature, privacy.

2. a. Plants (maize, rice)

   b. Fish (GloFish)

3. For individuals, biotechnology has helped in the prevention and treatment of a wide range of diseases. For society, biotechnology saves time, improves the health and quality of food through a reduction in the use of pesticides and it can create new viruses and bacteria that cause diseases. Biotechnology could address global change since more genetically modified plants are grown.

What is the concentration of 10.00 mL of HBr if it takes 16.73 mL of a 0.253 M LiOH solution to neutralize it?
Leni [432]
First. let's write the reaction formula: HBr +LiOH ----> LiBr + H₂O

let's get the moles of LiOH first

moles= Molarity x Liters

moles= 0.253 M x 0.01673 Liter= 0.00423 moles LiOH

using the balanced equation, you can see that 1 mol LiOH is equal to 1 mol HBr. so:

0.00423 mol LiOH = 0.00423 mol HBr

now let's find the concentration

molarity= mol/ Liters

0.00423 mol/ 0.01000 Liters= 0.423 M

Which of these conjugate acid-base pairs will not function as a buffer?
miv72 [106K]

Answer:HNO₃ and NO³⁻ would not function as buffer

Explanation:

The buffer solution are usually prepared by using  any  weak acid (which would partially dissociate)  and mixing this weak acid with its own conjugate base or any weak base (which would partially dissociate) and mixing with  with its conjugate acid.

A buffer solution is a solution which resists change in pH of the solution.

Since nitric acid is a very strong acid and hence neither nitric acid HNO₃ or its conjugate base NO³⁻ anionb is suitable for the preparation of buffer solution.

HCO³⁻ is a weak  acid and hence it can form a buffer solution with its conjugate base CO₃²-. so they can be used to form buffer.

C₂H₅COOH is a weak acid and hence it can also form buffer solution with its conjugate base.

So only HNO₃and NO³⁻ would not be able to form buffer

So option a is the answer.

The second order reaction A → Products takes 13.5 s for the concentration of A to decrease from 0.740 M to 0.319 M. What is the
Ivanshal [37]

The rate constant of the second order reaction is 0.137 M-1s-1.

<h3>What is the rate constant?</h3>

For the second order reaction we can write;

1/[A] = kt + 1/[A]o

[A]o = initial concentration

[A] = final concentration

k = rate constant

t = time

Now;

1/0.319 = 13.5k + 1/ 0.740

1/0.319 - 1/0.740 = 13.5k

3.13 - 1.35 = 13k

k = 3.13 - 1.35/13

k = 0.137 M-1s-1
