Why does the solution conduct electricity when the crystals dissolved in water? When a crystal of an ionic compound dissolves in water, the ions separate. Again, the ions are free to move – so a solution of an ionic compound in water also conducts electricity. Which compound has the most ionic character? The greatest the […]

What is the SI unit of current? ampere How do you measure current in a DC circuit? It is measured in the unit of the Ampere, simply called “Amp,” (A). The most common way to measure current in a circuit is to break the circuit open and insert an “ammeter” in series (in-line) with the […]

Can a 7 year old start her period? Now the average age for a first period is closer to 12, with one University of Cincinnati study reporting that about 10 to 15 percent of girls enter puberty at age 7 or younger, a phenomenon known as precocious puberty. This is up from just 5 percent […]

How do you tell if it is exothermic or endothermic? An exothermic process releases heat, causing the temperature of the immediate surroundings to rise. An endothermic process absorbs heat and cools the surroundings.” What does it mean when entropy is negative? A negative change in entropy indicates that the disorder of an isolated system has […]

What are the 4 properties of metals? Properties of metals high melting points. good conductors of electricity. good conductors of heat. high density. malleable. ductile. What are the six properties of metals? Metals Lustrous (shiny) Good conductors of heat and electricity. High melting point. High density (heavy for their size) Malleable (can be hammered) Ductile […]

What are the natural variables of Helmholtz free energy? The natural variables are temperature, T, and volume, V . If the temperature and volume are held constant, the system will reach the equilibrium state (pressure, P, and entropy, S) with the minimum Helmholtz free energy. What are the four thermodynamic functions? Four important and useful […]

How does the Industrial Revolution affect the evolution of the peppered moth? After the pollution from the Industrial Revolution started affecting trees, most of the collected peppered moths were of the dark form. Click for more detail. As the trees darkened with soot, the light-colored moths were easier to see. They lived longer and passed […]

How do you give good reasoning? Each time you make a choice, there are consequences. A good way to improve reasoning skills is to make a point of stopping to consider those consequences on a conscious level. Use your imagination. Before making a choice in a given situation, pause to imagine a variety of possible […]

Which is more accurate 10 mL or 100 mL graduated cylinder? For accuracy the volume on graduated cylinders is depicted on scales with 3 significant digits: 100mL cylinders have 1ml grading divisions while 10mL cylinders have 0.1 mL grading divisions. Class A has double the accuracy of class B. Which has greater precision the 10 […]

Is pork done at 170 degrees? Safe Cooking Chart for Pork Internal temperature: 160° F (70°C) – medium; 170°F (75°C) – well done. What is the 2 4 Rule? The 2-hour/4-hour rule is a good way to make sure potentially hazardous food is safe even if it’s been out of refrigeration. Remember to add up […]
