Which statement correctly describes a sample of gas confined in a sealed container? (1) It always has a definite volume, and it takes the shape of the container. (2) It takes the shape and the volume of any container in which it is confined. (3) It has a crystalline structure. (4) It consists of particles arranged in a regular geometric pattern.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer: A gas does not have a specific shape or volume (so we reject option A), instead it adjusts itself to the container (which is further influenced by other forces such as gravity and temperature) and it with time, willl fill the whole container evenly, so the correct answer is:
(2) It takes the shape and the volume of any container in which it is confined

Answers

Answer:

1. The evidence that chemical reaction has occurred can be found in the change of the reagents present after the reaction, that is formation of glucose in the area where the reaction is taking place

2. The most abundant element of the chemical reaction is oxygen which has a total quantity of 18 atoms in the reaction

3. The oxygen atom has an atomic number of 8 and therefore contains 8 protons and 8 neutrons and (therefore) 8 electrons (to be neutral, electronically)

4. The protons and the neutrons of the atom, oxygen, are located in the nucleus, while the electron are found in the different orbitals surrounding the atom

5. The element, oxygen, symbol, O, belongs to the group 16 of period 2 in the periodic table

Explanation:

A sample contains 6.25 percent parent isotope and 93.75 percent daughter isotopes. If the half-life of the parent isotope is 58 years, how old is the sample?

Answers

The parent isotope percent will change from 100% to 50% to 25% to 12.5% and to 6.25%. So the sample go through four times of half-life. So the sample is 58*4=232 years old.

Answer is: the sample is 232 years old.

Take 100 atoms:

After first half-life: 50% · 100 ÷ 100% = 50.  

After second half-life: 0.5 · 50 = 25.  

After third half-life: 0.5 · 25 = 12.5.  

After fourth half-life: 0.5 · 12.5 = 6.25.

6.25 ÷ 100 · 100% = 6.25%.

4 half-lives will it take before only about 6.25% of the original sample remains.

t = 4 · 58 y.

t = 232 y.

Of the following reactions, which one produces oxygen gas?Fermentation
Anaerobic respiration
Aerobic respiration
Photosynthesis

Answers

Answer:

The correct option is: D. Photosynthesis

Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a biological process in green plants by which food such as sugar (like glucose C₆H₁₂O₆), is synthesized from water (H₂O) and carbon dioxide (CO₂) from the atmosphere, in the presence of light energy. This process produces oxygen gas (O₂) as a by-product.

This reaction converts the light energy from the sun to chemical energy.

The reaction involved is: 6 CO₂ (g) + 6 H₂O + light → C₆H₁₂O₆ (s) + 6 O₂ (g)

Photosynthesis is the only process among the given options, that produces oxygen gas.

the answer is photosynthesis

50 POINTS Which of the following is a synthesis reaction?

2H2O yields 2H2 + O2

H2 + Cl2 yields 2HCl

2Li + CaO yields Li2O + Ca

CH4 + 2O2 yields CO2 + 2H2O

Answers

You will notice that the first answer decomposes into two seperate products with 1 reactant, so since this is only true of decomposition reactions, that is not the answer.

H2+Cl2 yields 2HCl could be the answer, as it starts with 2 reactants and ends with one product, something found in synthesis reactions. 

The third answer is incorrect because even though there are no decompositions of single products, the metal exchanges positions, something that only occurs in decomposition reactions.

In the fourth answer is also incorrect because the methane is oxidized. This only happens in decomposition reactions.

The correct answer, then, is B.

Which is an example of negative acceleration?

Answers

Answer:

When we throw a projectile up, the negative gravity acceleration acts on it. Thus, when the ball reaches the highest point, the speed of the ball becomes zero.

Explanation:

Acceleration is a vector magnitude that indicates the variation of speed per unit of time.

As displacement, velocity and acceleration are vectors we will analyze this vectorly.

We consider positive acceleration when the acceleration vector is directed in the same direction as the movement. (Acceleration)

On the other hand, we consider negative acceleration when the acceleration vector is directed in the opposite direction to the movement. (de-acceleration)

when the driver push the car's brake the acceleration decrease and become negative
