What is the Continental Divide and what is its purpose? A continental divide is a boundary that separates a continent’s river systems. Each river system feeds into a distinct ocean, bay, or sea. The Loveland Pass, pictured here, is a continental divide in Colorado that separates water flowing into the Atlantic and Pacific ocean basins. […]
What is the difference between structural and ball and stick model?
What is the difference between structural and ball and stick model? A molecular formula uses chemical symbols and subscripts to indicate the exact numbers of different atoms in a molecule or compound. A structural formula indicates the bonding arrangement of the atoms in the molecule. Ball-and-stick and space-filling models show the geometric arrangement of atoms […]
Why do we use zero correction?
Why do we use zero correction? Zero correction is used in an instrument for removing the zero error. What is zero error and its correction? Zero error correction arises due to error in the measuring instrument. It occurs when the first marked line of the instrument like vernier calliper, micrometer screw guage etc. do not […]
How do you find the buoyant force of a balloon?
What do numbers symbolize on the speedometer?
How do chefs use chemistry?
How do chefs use chemistry? Any cooking you do involves chemistry. The use of heat, cold, and cutting changes the composition of foods. Even simply slicing an apple sets off chemical reactions that change the color of the apple’s flesh. If you heat up sugar to turn it into syrup, you’re using a chemical reaction. […]
What is produced when aluminum reacts with hydrochloric acid?
What is produced when aluminum reacts with hydrochloric acid? Aluminum metal reacts with hydrochloric acid to form hydrogen gas and an aluminum chloride solution. In this investigation, you will predict the mass of hydrogen gas produced by a given amount of reactants, then measure the amount, and compare them. Hydrochloric acid is an aqueous solution […]
What are chemical properties of steel?
What are chemical properties of steel? Alloy Steel Alloy steels (like carbon steels) contain both carbon and iron, but add additional elements such as silicon, nickel, chromium, manganese, or vanadium. The extra elements added are what provide the additional features and varied chemical properties compared to carbon steels. Is gold a metal? Gold (Au), chemical […]
Why hydrogen ion does not exist?
Why hydrogen ion does not exist? Because the bare nucleus can readily combine with other particles (electrons, atoms, and molecules), the isolated hydrogen ion can exist only in a nearly particle-free space (high vacuum) and in the gaseous state. Why are H+ ions? Loss of an electron from H atom results in H+ . ion […]
What are the two main types of calorimeter?
What are the two main types of calorimeter? Some of the most common types are adiabatic calorimeters, oxygen bomb calorimeters, and differential scanning calorimeters (DSC). An adiabatic calorimeter is used to measure a “runaway reaction”, any heat generated by the sample under test causes the sample to increase in temperature, fueling the reaction. How do […]
