Concept explainers
As part of a science project, you study traffic patterns in your city at an intersection in the middle of downtown. You set up a device that counts the cars passing through this intersection for a 24-hour period during a weekday. The graph of hourly traffic looks like this.
a. At what time(s) does the highest number of cars pass through the intersection?
b. At what time(s) does the lowest number of cars pass through the intersection?
c. Briefly describe the trend in numbers of cars over the course of the day.
d. Provide a hypothesis explaining the trend in numbers of cars over the course of the day.
e. Provide a possible experiment that could test your hypothesis.

- (For Exercises 4546) Solutions containing nickel(II) ion are usually bright green in color. When potassium hydroxide is added to such a nickel(II) solution, a pale-green fluffy solid forms and settles out of the solution. The fact that a reaction takes place when potassium hydroxide is added to a solution of nickel(II) ions is an example of a properly. . The fact that a solution of nickel(II) ion is bright green is an example of a property.arrow_forwardAs part of a science project, you study traffic patterns in your city at an intersection in the middle of downtown.

Briefly describe the trend in numbers of cars over the course of die day. d. Provide a hypothesis explaining the trend in numbers of cars over the course of the day. e. Provide a possible experiment that could test your hypothesis.arrow_forwardYou can analyze for a copper compound in water using an instrument called a spectrophotometer. [A spectrophotometer is a scientific instrument that measures the amount of light (of a given wavelength) that is absorbed by the solution] The amount of light absorbed at a given wavelength of light (A) depends directly on the mass of compound per liter of solution. To calibrate the spectrophotometer, you collect the following data: Plot the absorbance (A) against the mass of copper compound per liter (g/L), and find the slope (m) and intercept (b) (assuming that A is y and the amount in solution is x in the equation for a straight line, y = mx + b). What is the mass of copper compound in the solution in g/L and mg/mL when the absorbance is 0.635?arrow_forward
- Why is the ability to solve problems important in the study of chemistry? Why is it that the method used to attack a problem is as important as the answer Lo the problem itself?arrow_forwardhat do the coefficients of a balanced chemical equation tell us about the proportions in which atoms and molecules react on an individual (microscopic) basis?arrow_forwarda. 2.00 grams of Sodium hydroxide was dissolved in water up to 500 mL. Calculate the Normality of the solution. b. 2.00 grams of Sodium hydroxide was dissolved in water up to 500 mL. Calculate the Formality of the solution. c. 2.00 grams of Sodium hydroxide was dissolved in water up to 500 mL.

A tank contains 100 liters of brine holding 60kg of salt in solution. Water containing 1kg of salt per liter flows into the tank at the rate of 2 liters per minute, and the mixture, kept uniform by stirring, flows out at the rate of 3 liters per minute. a. What is the initial concentration of salt in the solution in kg/L? b. What is the volume of the solution in the tank after one hour? c. Find the amount of salt at the end of 1 hour.arrow_forwardwhich is true about the energy of particles and how fast they move. a. More energy means slower moving molecules b. More energy means closer spaced molecules c. More energy means faster moving molecules d. Energy has nothing to do with molecules motionarrow_forward
- Matter can be described by 2 types of properties: Y0geneal and Y z0oroper 18. A(n) is a property of matter one can observe or measure without changing its identity. Examples of this are and 19. A(n) is a property of matter one can observe about how it and interacts with other substances. Examples of this are and changes. 0. Matter can change in 2 different ways: 1. A(n) is a change where no new substances are produced. and Examples of this type of change are is a change where new substances are produced.
