How do you calculate the pressure of hydrogen gas collected over water? To obtain the gas pressure, subtract the vapor pressure of water from the total pressure. EXAMPLE: A 325 mL sample of gas is collected over water at 26oC and 742 mm Hg pressure. Calculate the volume of the dry gas at STP. The […]

Why H2O is polar and CO2 is nonpolar? Both CO2 and H2O have two polar bonds. However the dipoles in the linear CO2 molecule cancel each other out, meaning that the CO2 molecule is non-polar. The polar bonds in the bent H2O molecule result in a net dipole moment, so H2O is polar. Which is […]

How do you fix excessive oil consumption? While excessive oil consumption can be a costly and timely fix , sometimes there is an easier fix, such as the PCV valve or oil pan gasket. In the case of internal engine parts, like piston rings, unless you’re an experienced DIYer, it may be best to leave […]

Is steel easy to bend? Most steel bars are either hot-rolled or cold-rolled; a cold rolled bar is shinier than a hot rolled bar, but is also harder to bend. Stainless steel is even harder to bend. The stronger the steel, the more the bend will approximate a “V”, while the weaker the steel, the […]

What are the different forms of assessment? What are the types of assessment? Pre-assessment or diagnostic assessment. Formative assessment. Summative assessment. Confirmative assessment. Norm-referenced assessment. Criterion-referenced assessment. Ipsative assessment. What is the difference between assessment tools and assessment techniques? Defining Assessment Methods and Tools An assessment method is defined as the philosophical or pedagogical approach […]

Which describes how a simple machine can make work easier? Explain how a machine makes work easier. Machines make work easier by increasing the amount of force that is applied, increasing the distance over which the force is applied, or changing the direction in which the force is applied. What are three ways machines make […]

How do you know if a road is 20 mph? There are no physical measures such as chicanes or humps in the roads that have been added to an original 20mph zone. Instead you’ll see road signs at the entry points into the 20mph zone, together with ’roundels’ or circles with ’20’ painted on the […]

How do you tell if an egg is boiled by spinning? Tip: Just place the egg on a hard surface, like the counter, and spin it like a top. As it’s spinning, grab it with your fingers ever-so-briefly and immediately let go. If it keeps spinning, it’s raw. If it stops dead, it’s boiled. How […]

What percentage of carbon 14 remains after 2 half lives? 25 percent What is the use of carbon 14? Carbon-14, which is radioactive, is the isotope used in radiocarbon dating and radiolabeling. … medically important radioactive isotope is carbon-14, which is used in a breath test to detect the ulcer-causing bacteria Heliobacter pylori. How much […]

What is tropical climate zone? Tropical climate is one of the five major climate groups in the Köppen climate classification. Tropical climates are characterized by monthly average temperatures of 18 ℃ (64.4 ℉) or higher year-round and feature hot temperatures. There are normally only two seasons in tropical climates, a wet season and a dry […]
