Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

The complete question can be seen in the attached image.

Phenolphthalein is an indicator that is often utilized in an acid-base reaction to indicate the endpoints of such reactions due to its ability to change color from pink/colorless to colorless/pink depending on if the final solution is acidic or basic.

Phenolphthalein is usually colorless in acidic solutions and appears pink in basic solutions. The more basic or alkaline a solution is, the stronger the pink color of phenolphthalein. Hence;

1. Ammonia with a pH of 11 is basic, phenolphthalein will turn pink.

2. Battery acid with a pH of 1 is acidic, it will remain colorless.

3. Lime juice with a pH of 2 is acidic, it will remain colorless.

4. Mashed avocado with a pH of 6.5 is acidic, it will remain colorless.

5. Seawater with a pH of 8.5 is basic, it will turn pink.

6. Tap water with a pH of 7 is neutral, it will remain colorless

A particular sheet of paper measures 8.5 × 6.5 inches. What is the surface area of one side of the paper in cm2? (2.54 cm = 1 in

Zanzabum

In order to calculate the surface are of the sheet of paper in square centimeters you must first convert the dimensions of the paper to centimeters. You can do this by multiplying 8.5 * 2.54 and 6.5 * 2.54. The paper measures 21.59cm by 16.51cm. To find the surface area you multiply the dimensions of the paper to equal 356.4509cm2

Let us differentiate accuracy from precision. Accuracy is the nearness of the measured value to the true or exact value. On the other hand, precision is the nearness of the measured values between each other. So, for precision, select the student in which the measured values are very near to each other. That would be Student III. Now, for accuracy, let's find the average for each student.

Student I: (8.72g+8.74g+8.70g)/3 = 8.72 g
Student II: (8.56g+8.77g+8.83g)/3 = 8.72 g
Student III: (8.50g+8.48g+8.51g)/3 = 8.50 g
Student IV: (8.41g+8.72g+8.55g)/3 = 8.56 g

From the given results, the accurate one would be Students I and II. So, we make a compromise. Even though Student III is precise, it is not accurate. If you compare between Students I and II, the more precise data would be Student I. Therefore, the answer is Student I.

galben [10]

The kinetic energy of the products is equal to the energy liberated which is 92.2 keV. But let's convert the unit keV to Joules. keV is kiloelectro volt. The conversion that we need is: 1.602×10⁻¹⁹ joule = 1 eV

Kinetic energy = 92.2 keV*(1,000 eV/1 keV)*(1.602×10⁻¹⁹ joule/1 eV) = 5.76×10²³ Joules

From kinetic energy, we can calculate the velocity of each He atom:
KE = 1/2*mv²
5.76×10²³ Joules = 1/2*(4)(v²)
v = 5.367×10¹¹ m/s
