Use the data table and information below to answer the following questions. A scientist used a laboratory model to test the effect of radiation, or the sun, in heating land and water on Earth. To do this experiment, 200 mL of water and dry sand were placed in to 2 separate 250-mL beakers. Each beaker was then placed under the same lamp. Temperature readings were taken of each substance every 2 minutes for 8 minutes.

Is this a controlled experiment? Explain.

To save time, you can approximate the initial mass of the solid to the nearest ±1 g. for example, if you are asked to add 14.3 g of copper, add between 13 g and 15 g. which of the following sets include two samples with an equal density? which all that apply below 15.4 g gold and 18.7 g silver 15.2 g copper and 50.0 g copper 20.2 g silver and 20.2 g copper 11.2 g gold and 14.9 g gold

Consider three unlabeled bottles, each contain small pieces of one of the following metals. - magnesium - sodium - silver the following reagents are used for identifying the metals. - pure water - a solution of 1.0 molar hcl - a solution of concentrated hno3 (a) which metal can be easily identified because it is much softer than the other two? describe a chemical test that distinguishes this metal from the other two, using only one of the reagents above. write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction that occurs. (b) one of the other two metals reacts readily with the hcl solution. identify the metal and write the balanced chemical equation for the reaction that occurs when this metal is added to the hcl solution. use the table of standard reduction potentials (attached) to account for the fact that this metal reacts with hcl while the other does not. (c) the one remaining metal reacts with the concentrated hno3 solution. write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction that occurs. (d) the solution obtained in (c) is diluted and a few drops of 1 m hcl is added. describe what would be observed. write a balanced chemical equation for the reaction that occurs.

Transportation is the largest single source of air pollution in the united states. air pollution can harm the environment and human health. which technology could offer a solution to this problem? mufflers that reduce noise motors that run on electricity tires that improve gas mileage
