Fabric A is likely to be a material that has a moderate tendency to gain electrons when in contact with other materials and is lower in the electrostatic series than ebonite but higher than wood.
What is electrostatic series?The electrostatic series is a list of materials ranked in order of their tendency to gain or lose electrons when in contact with another material.
Materials higher in the series tend to lose electrons more readily and become positively charged, while materials lower in the series tend to gain electrons more readily and become negatively charged.
Ebonite is a synthetic polymer that is known to become negatively charged when rubbed, and it is typically placed near the top of the electrostatic series.
Wood, on the other hand, is a poor conductor of electricity and does not readily become charged when rubbed. Based on these facts, we can infer that Fabric A is lower in the electrostatic series than ebonite, but higher than wood.

Soda contains phosphoric acid (H3PO4). To determine the concentration of phosphoric acid in 50.0 mL of soda, the available phosphate ions are precipitated with excess silver nitrate as silver phosphate (418.58 g/mol). The dry Ag3PO4 is found to have a mass of 0.0576 g. What is the concentration of phosphoric acid in the soda?
Answer:
0.0270w/v% H3PO4 in the soda
Explanation:
All phosphates reacts producing Ag3PO4. To solve this question we must convert the mass of Ag3PO4 to moles. These moles = moles of H3PO4. We can find, thus, the mass of H3PO4 and the w/v% as follows:
Moles Ag3PO4 -Molar mass: 418.58g/mol-
0.0576g * (1mol / 418.58g) = 1.376x10⁻⁴ moles Ag3PO4 = moles H3PO4
Mass H3PO4 -Molar mass: 97.994g/mol-
1.376x10⁻⁴ moles Ag3PO4 = moles H3PO4 * (97.994g/mol) = 0.0135g H3PO4
w/v%:
0.0135g H3PO4 / 50.0mL * 100 =

____________ can increase the presence of 5HT in the terminal button or synaptic cleft.
Answer:
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs)
Explanation:
A synaptic cleft is a space that separates two neurons thereby forming a junction between two or more neurons. The synaptic cleft helps in the transfer of nerve impulse from one neuron to the other.
5-HT is found in the enteric nervous system located in the gastrointestinal tract and it helps in modulating cognition, memory, sleep, and numerous physiological processes.
Selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SSRIs), such as fluoxetine and citalopram are used to increase the level of 5-HT in the synaptic cleft by inhibiting its reuptake into the presynaptic terminal.
Which best describes how the total mass of the substances that go into
photosynthesis compares to the mass of substances that are present
afterward?
O A. The mass increases because the molecules that are produced are
larger than those that are used.
B. The mass increases because some light energy changes into
mass.
O C. The mass stays the same because the total number of atoms
does not change
O D. The mass decreases because plants destroy some of the atoms
during photosynthesis.
Answer:
C. The mass stays the same because the total number of atoms does not change
Explanation:
According to the law of conservation of matter/mass, matter cannot be created nor destroyed, hence, the amount of matter in the reactants must be the same amount in the products.
Using the photosynthetic reaction as a case study, carbon dioxide (CO2) and water (H2O) are the compounds that go into the reaction (reactants) while glucose and oxygen (O2) are the products of the reaction.
Using the law of conservation of matter to explain, the total mass of both the reactants and products stays the same because the total number of atoms does not change i.e. if 6 atoms of Carbon starts the reaction, 6 atoms of carbon will end it.
What is the quantity of
heat required to raise the
temperature of 500 g of
iron by 2°C?
The specific heat capacity
of iron is 500 J/(kg °C)
Answer:
The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of 500 g of iron by 2°C is 500 J.
Explanation:
Calorimetry is responsible for measuring the amount of heat generated or lost in certain physical or chemical processes.
The sensible heat of a body is the amount of heat received or transferred by a body when undergoing a temperature variation (Δt) without there being a change in physical state (solid, liquid or gaseous).
Its mathematical expression is the fundamental equation of calorimetry. This is:
Q = c * m * ΔT
where Q is the heat exchanged by a body of mass m, made up of a specific heat substance c and where ΔT is the temperature variation.
In this case:
Q= ?c= 500 [tex]\frac{J}{kg*C}[/tex]m= 500 g= 0.500 kgΔT= 2 CReplacing:
Q= 500 [tex]\frac{J}{kg*C}[/tex] *0.500 kg*2 C
Solving:
Q= 500 J
The quantity of heat required to raise the temperature of 500 g of iron by 2°C is 500 J.

Solution A has a pH of 7, and solution B has a pH of 14. Which statement
best describes these solutions?
Answer:
Option A. Solution B is basic, and solution A is neutral.
Explanation:
The pH of a solution is simply defined as the measure of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.
The pH scale ranges from 0 to 14 with the following readings:
0 to 6 => Acidic solution
7 => Neutral solution
8 to 14 => Alkaline / basic solution.
From the above, we understood that solutions with pH ranging from 0 to 6 are acidic solutions. Those with pH of 7 are neutral solutions while those with pH ranging from 8 to 14 are basic solutions.
With the above information in mind, let us answer the question given above. This is illustrated below:
pH of solution A = 7
pH of solution B = 14
Solution A has a pH of 7. This implies that solution A is a neutral solution
Solution B has a pH of 14. This implies that solution B is a basic solution.
Thus, option A gives the correct answer to the question.
The rate of the reaction is 1.6*10-2 M/s when the concentration of A is 0.15 M. Calculate the rate constant if the reaction is (a) first order in A and (b) second order in A.
Answer:
[tex]k_1=0.107s^{-1} \\\\k_2=0.711M^{-1}s^{-1}[/tex]
Explanation:
Hello there!
In this case, according to the given information and the attached picture in which we can see the units of the rate constant, it turns out possible for us to realize the two called rate laws are:
[tex]r=k[A]\\\\r=k[A]^2[/tex]
The former is first-order and the latter second-order; in such a way, we solve for the rate constant in both cases to obtain the following:
[tex]k=\frac{r}{[A]}=\frac{1.6x10^{-2}M/s}{0.15M}=0.107s^{-1} \\\\k=\frac{r}{[A]^2}=\frac{1.6x10^{-2}M/s}{(0.15M)^2}=0.711M^{-1}s^{-1}[/tex]

Calculate the mass of water produced when 9.57 g of butane reacts with excess oxygen.
Express your answer to three significant figures and include the appropriate units.
Answer:
14.9 g
Explanation:
Step 1: Write the balanced equation
C₄H₁₀ + 6.5 O₂ ⇒ 4 CO₂ + 5 H₂O
Step 2: Calculate the moles corresponding to 9.57 g of C₄H₁₀
The molar mass of C₄H₁₀ is 58.12 g/mol.
9.57 g × 1 mol/58.12 g = 0.165 mol
Step 3: Calculate the moles of H₂O produced from 0.165 moles of C₄H₁₀
0.165 mol C₄H₁₀ × 5 mol H₂O/1 mol C₄H₁₀ = 0.825 mol H₂O
Step 4: Calculate the mass corresponding to 0.825 mol of H₂O
The molar mass of H₂O is 18.02 g/mol.
0.825 mol × 18.02 g/mol = 14.9 g

plss help!!!
Answer:
Ammonium hydroxide, NH₄OH
Magnesium hydroxide, Mg(OH)₂
Sodium hydroxide, NaOH
Lithium hydroxide, LiOH
Explanation:
A base is a substance which neutralizes acids to produce salt and water. Bases are hydroxide or oxides of metals. Bases may be soluble or insoluble in water. Bases generally have a bitter taste and turn red litmus paper or indicator red.
Alkalis are bases which are soluble in water. They form the hydroxide of the alkali metals or alkaline earth metals in solution and they ionize to produce hydroxide ions. They are slippery to touch and turn red litmus blue being bases.
Therefore, all alkalis are bases but not all bases are alkalis. Insoluble bases are not alkalis.
From the given chemical compounds the alkalis present in the list are:
Ammonium hydroxide, NH₄OH; since it is soluble in water and produces hydroxide ions
Magnesium hydroxide, Mg(OH)₂; since it is slightly soluble in water and produces hydroxide ions
Sodium hydroxide, NaOH; since it is soluble in water and produces hydroxide ions
Lithium hydroxide, LiOH; since it is soluble in water and produces hydroxide ions
CuO(copper oxide) is a base but not an alkali as it does not produce hydroxide ions.
Zn(OH)2 (zinc hydroxide) is amphoteric and is insoluble
MgO(magnesium oxide) is a base but not an alkali as it does not produce hydroxide ions.
Na2O(sodium oxide) is a base but not an alkali as it does not produce hydroxide ions.
CoO(cobalt oxide) is a base but not an alkali as it does not produce hydroxide ions.

c. Mg2+(aq) + NO3- → MgNO3 (s).
d. Mg2+(aq) + SO4^2- (aq) + Ni2+ (aq) + 2NO3- → Mg2+ (aq) + 2NO3 (aq) + NISO4 (s).
e. Ni2+(aq) + SO4^2- (aq) → NISO4 (s).
f. No reaction occurs.
Answer:
No reaction occurs.
Explanation:
The molecular reaction is as follows;
MgSO4(aq) + Ni(NO3)2(aq) ----> Mg(NO3)2(aq) + NiSO4(aq)
We can see from the reaction above that the both products of the reaction are soluble. Recall that a double replacement reaction often yields one insoluble product which separates as a precipitate.
This reaction does not occur since the two products that ought to be obtained are soluble in water.

What is the theoretical yield of potassium permanganate when starting with 50.0 g MnO2?
The equation for the production of potassium permanganate is as follows:
2 MnO2 + 4 KOH + O2 → 2 KMnO4 + 2 KOH + H2
Answer:
The theoretical yield potassium permanganate, KMnO₄ when starting with 50.0 g MnO₂ is 90.8 g
Explanation:
Molar mass of MnO₂ = (55 + 2 × 16) = 87.0 g/mol
Molar mass of KMnO₄ = (39 + 55 + 4 × 16) = 158 g/mol
Moles of MnO₂ in 50 g = reacting mass / molar mass
where reacting mass = 50 g
Moles of MnO₂ in 50 g = 50 g /87 g/mol = 0.575 moles
The equation for the production of potassium permanganate is as follows:
2 MnO2 + 4 KOH + O2 → 2 KMnO4 + 2 KOH + H2
From the equation of the reaction above, 2 moles of MnO₂ produces 2 moles of KmNO₄. The mole ratio of MnO₂ to KMnO₄ is 1 : 1
Therefore, 0.575 moles of MnO₂ will produce theoretically 0.575 moles of KMnO₄
Mass of 0.575 moles of KMnO₄ = number of moles × molar mass
Mass of 0.575 moles of KMnO₄ = 0.575 moles × 158 g/mol = 90.8 g of KMnO₄
Therefore, the theoretical yield potassium permanganate when starting with 50.0 g MnO₂ is 90.8 g

Explanation:
For a particular chemical reaction the rate (g/hr) at which one of the reactants changes is proportional to the amount of that reactant present. If y represents the amount of that reactant at time t, StartFraction dy Over dt EndFraction equals minus0.7y. If there were 70 grams of the reactant when the process started (tequals 0), how many grams will remain after 4 hours?
Answer:
Amount of reactant after four hours = 4,26 grams
Explanation:
Suppose y denotes the amount of reactant at the time (t)
The given function:
[tex]\dfrac{dy}{dt} = -0.7 y[/tex]
[tex]\dfrac{dy}{y} = -0.7 dt[/tex]
Taking integral on both sides
㏑(y) = -0.7t + c¹
[tex]e^{In(y)}= e^{-0.7t + c^1}[/tex]
[tex]y(t) = Ce ^{-0.7t}[/tex]
At t = 0 ; y (t) = 70
∴
[tex]70 = Ce^{-0.7(0)}[/tex]
C = 70
As such; [tex]\mathtt{y(t) = 70 e^{-0.7*t}}[/tex]
After four hours, the amount of the reactant is:
[tex]\mathtt{y(t) = 70 e^{-0.7*4}}[/tex]
[tex]\mathtt{y(t) = 70 e^{-2.8}}[/tex]
[tex]\mathtt{y(t) = 4.26}[/tex]
Amount of reactant after four hours = 4,26 grams

A 100.0-g sample of water at 27.0oC is poured into a 71.0-g sample of water at 89.0oC. What will be the final temperature of the water? (Specific heat capacity of water = 4.184 J/goC.)
Answer: The final temperature will be [tex]52.74^oC[/tex]
Explanation:
Calculating the heat released or absorbed for the process:
[tex]q=m\times C\times (T_2-T_1)[/tex]
In a system, the total amount of heat released is equal to the total amount of heat absorbed.
[tex]q_1=-q_2[/tex]
OR
[tex]m_1\times C\times (T_f-T_1)=-m_2\times C\times (T_f-T_2)[/tex] ......(1)
where,
C = heat capacity of water = [tex]4.184J/g^oC[/tex]
[tex]m_1[/tex] = mass of water of sample 1 = 100.0 g
[tex]m_2[/tex] = mass of water of sample 2 = 71.0 g
[tex]T_f[/tex] = final temperature of the system = ?
[tex]T_1[/tex] = initial temperature of water of sample 1 = [tex]27^oC[/tex]
[tex]T_2[/tex] = initial temperature of the water of sample 2 = [tex]89.0^oC[/tex]
Putting values in equation 1, we get:
[tex]100.0\times 4.184\times (T_f-27)=-71.0\times 4.184\times (T_f-89)\\\\171T_f=9019\\\\T_f=\frac{9019}{171}=52.74^oC[/tex]
Hence, the final temperature will be [tex]52.74^oC[/tex]

He predicted an element with an atomic weight between 65 (zinc) and 75 (arsenic) with a valence similar to aluminum that he named ekaboron. This element was discovered in 1879. What is this element:?
Answer:
Scandium
Explanation:
Mendeleev played an important role in the development of the modern periodic table. His periodic table was filled with gaps. He said that these gaps were elements that were yet to be discovered. He rightly predicted many elements which have now been discovered and fitted in their proper places in the periodic table.
He used the prefix ''eka'' to refer to elements whose properties were alike but were yet to be discovered at that time.
The compound named ekaboron which he predicted to have an atomic weight between 65 (zinc) and 75 (arsenic) with a valence similar to aluminum was later discovered in 1879 and properly named scandium.
