What is a requirement for storing chemicals? Chemicals must be separated when being stored to ensure that incompatible chemicals do not mix if there is a spill. Keep the outside of containers clean and the storage area tidy. Do not store liquids above solids to avoid contamination in the event of a leak. Always store […]
Can you die from doing too much homework?
Can you die from doing too much homework? You may have received harried text messages over the past few days which say something like, “Studying any more today will literally kill me.” We would usually take issue with the seemingly poor use of the word “literally” here, but precedent shows that it actually is possible […]
What is called inertia?
What is the most energy efficient plant?
What is the most energy efficient plant? sugar cane Why do plants not absorb all light? Plants and other photosynthetic organisms are largely filled with pigment protein complexes that they produce to absorb sunlight. The pigment in the lowest layer has to receive enough light to recoup its energy costs, which cannot happen if a […]

What are the 5 steps of fertilization?
What are the 5 steps of fertilization? 5 steps of the in vitro fertilization (IVF) process. Step 1: Medication. Step 2: Harvest the eggs. Step 3: Fertilization. Step 4: Embryo culture. Step 5: Embryo transfer. What are the main results of fertilization? The result of fertilization is a cell (zygote) capable of undergoing cell division […]
How do we know the nucleus is positive?
How do we know the nucleus is positive? Rutherford deduced that the atomic nucleus was positively charged because the alpha particles that he fired at the metal foils were positively charged, and like charges repel. In Rutherford’s experiments most of the alpha particles passed straight through the foil without being deflected. Is a nucleus positive? […]
Why does my balloon car not move?
Why does my balloon car not move? Some of the things that slow balloon cars down, that you have to overcome, are their own weight, air resistance, friction, and inefficient use of the air escaping the balloon. Which type of balloon would deflate the fastest? Helium balloons How much does it cost to fill 100 […]
Does phenolphthalein turn pink in acid or base?
Does phenolphthalein turn pink in acid or base? Phenolphthalein is often used as an indicator in acid–base titrations. For this application, it turns colorless in acidic solutions and pink in basic solutions. It belongs to the class of dyes known as phthalein dyes. What is the pH range for the color change of phenolphthalein? Indicator […]
What does the atomic mass tell you?
What does the atomic mass tell you? The atomic mass tells us the weight of protons and neutrons. How do you know how many electrons there are surrounding the nucleus of a particular atom? Why isn’t the atomic mass always a whole number? Atomic mass is never an integer number for several reasons: The atomic […]
