Household hazardous waste can be eliminated by preparing your own cleaning products using the following ingredients EXCEPT: vinegar bicarbonate soda cornstarch Windex
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the last option. Household hazardous waste can be eliminated by preparing your own cleaning products using the following ingredients except Windex.
It is a chemical product that is hazardous.
Explanation:
Windex may be a glass and hard-surface cleaner. Windex was unreal by the Drackett Company in 1933 and has been marketed throughout.Windex cannot be used.
Windex is the ingredient that should not be used for preparing non-toxic, homemade cleaning products. Vinegar, baking soda, and cornstarch are all safe alternatives that can effectively clean and reduce household hazardous waste when used in homemade cleaning solutions.
The student's question pertains to the elimination of household hazardous waste by preparing one's own cleaning products. Among the ingredients listed, vinegar, bicarbonate soda (baking soda), and cornstarch are common safe household ingredients used for cleaning purposes. However, Windex is a commercial product which often contains chemicals and is not a suitable ingredient for making your own non-toxic, homemade cleaning products.
Homemade cleaning solutions, such as a mixture of vinegar and baking soda, can serve as effective alternatives to reduce the presence of hazardous substances in the household. These natural products are not only eco-friendly, but also pose less risk to personal health compared to some commercially available cleaners.

A thermometer is placed in water in order to measure the water’s temperature. What would cause the liquid in the thermometer to rise?
The molecules in the water move closer together.
The molecules in the thermometer’s liquid spread apart.
The kinetic energy of the water molecules decreases.
The kinetic energy of the thermometer’s liquid molecules decreases
Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.
Explanation:
When we use a thermometer to measure the temperature of water then heat from the water will lead to represent an increase in the thermometer reading.
This is because heat or warmth from the water will get transferred to the thermometer as a result, the liquid in the thermometer will also get warm.
Therefore, this warmth will increase kinetic energy of the molecules of liquid in the thermometer. Hence, the liquid will spread.
Thus, we can conclude that the liquid in the thermometer to rise because molecules in the thermometer’s liquid spread apart.

The correct answer is 3. The molecular collisions are perfectly elastic.
Explanation- The rapidly moving particle of gas collides with the walls of the container. All these collision are perfectly elastic. The pressure exerted by the gas is due to this continuous collision and the force experienced per unit area of the walls of the container determines the pressure exerted by the gas.
Assumptions 2 and 3 of the Kinetic Molecular Theory explain gas pressure. High-speed molecular motion causes frequent, perfectly elastic collisions with container walls, generating pressure.
The pressure exerted by a gas can be explained by assumptions 2 and 3 of the Kinetic Molecular Theory.
1. **Assumption 2:** The molecules of a gas are in constant motion at high speeds. This motion creates collisions between the gas molecules and with the walls of the container.
2. **Assumption 3:** The molecular collisions are perfectly elastic. This means that when gas molecules collide with each other or with the walls of the container, there is no net loss of kinetic energy. The total kinetic energy of the system remains constant.
Now, let's delve into the step-by-step explanation of how these assumptions relate to the pressure exerted by the gas:
- When gas molecules collide with the walls of the container, they exert a force on the walls due to the change in momentum. This force per unit area is what we define as pressure.
- The faster the gas molecules are moving (assumption 2), the more forceful these collisions will be.
- Additionally, the more frequently these collisions occur, the greater the pressure will be.
- Since the collisions are perfectly elastic (assumption 3), the molecules rebound from the wall after collision without losing any kinetic energy. This means that each collision contributes equally to the pressure exerted by the gas.
- Therefore, both assumptions 2 and 3 are essential in explaining the pressure exerted by a gas.
So, the correct answer is: **2 and 3**.
in general what happens when you increase the temperature of a reaction
Use the periodic table to answer this question. Decomposing calcium carbonate yields calcium oxide and carbon dioxide. What information is needed to calculate the mass of calcium oxide that can be produced from 4.7 kg of calcium carbonate?
First write and balance the equation, being: CaCO3 - CaO + CO2 Then, using the periodic table, find the molecular masses of CaCO3 and of CaO, finding their ratio. That will be 100g:56g or 0.1kg:0.056kg. Since you have 4.7kg of CaCO3, it corresponds to Xkg of CaO. Making x the subject, it should be X= 4.7*0.056/100=0,002632
Answer : The mass of calcium oxide produced is, 2632 g
Solution : Given,
Mass of calcium carbonate = 4.7 Kg = 4700 g (1 Kg = 1000 g)
Molar mass of calcium carbonate = 100 g/mole
Molar mass of calcium oxide = 56 g/mole
First we have to calculate the moles of calcium carbonate.
[tex]\text{Moles of }CaCO_3=\frac{\text{Mass of }CaCO_3}{\text{Molar mass of }CaCO_3}=\frac{4700g}{100g/mole}=47moles[/tex]
Now we have to calculate the moles of calcium oxide.
The balanced decomposition reaction will be,
[tex]CaCO_3\rightarrow CaO+CO_2[/tex]
From the balanced reaction we conclude that,
As, 1 mole of calcium carbonate decompose to give 1 mole of calcium oxide
So, 47 moles of calcium carbonate decompose to give 47 moles of calcium oxide
Now we have to calculate the mass of calcium oxide.
[tex]\text{Mass of }CaO=\text{Moles of }CaO\times \text{Molar mass of }CaO[/tex]
[tex]\text{Mass of }CaO=(47moles)\times (56g/mole)=2632g[/tex]
Therefore, the mass of calcium oxide produced is, 2632 g

What problem can fossil fuel create for life on earth?
Burning fossil fuels releases carbon into the atmosphere, causing climate change and global warming. It also leads to environmental damage, such as water contamination and habitat destruction. The transition away from fossil fuels presents challenges due to our reliance on them for various aspects of our daily lives.
Explanation:Burning fossil fuels, such as coal, oil, and natural gas, releases carbon into the atmosphere, contributing to climate change. Increased carbon dioxide in the atmosphere traps heat, leading to global warming and its associated impacts, such as rising sea levels and extreme weather events.
In addition to climate change, the extraction and use of fossil fuels have negative environmental consequences. Oil spills, coal mining, and fracking can contaminate water sources and harm wildlife habitats.
The dependence on fossil fuels also poses a challenge for transitioning to alternative energy sources in the future, as we currently rely on them for various aspects of our modern lifestyle, such as transportation.
As a chlorine atom becomes a negative ion, the atom
(1) gains an electron and its radius increases
(2) gains an electron and its radius decreases
(3) loses an electron and its radius increases
(4) loses an electron and its radius decreases
Answer:
(1) gains an electron and its radius increases
Explanation:
Hello,
Ionization involves the charge of a determined atom in order to form an ion, in this case, the chloride ion which is negative. In such a way, since chloride ion turns out negatively charged via ionization, it is evident that an electron is gained so its radius must increase as result of that gain, therefore, answer is:
(1) gains an electron and its radius increases
As long as a new particle is included into it.

suppose you found a material in which 12.5% of the original radioactive atoms were present. if the half-life is 47 years, how old is the material?
It can be calculated using the equation: (1/2)ⁿ = x
x - decimal amount remaining,
n - number of half-lives.
x = 12.5% = 12.5%/100% = 0.125
n = ?
(1/2)ⁿ = 0.125
log((1/2)ⁿ) = log(0.125)
n * log(1/2) = log(0.125)
n = log(0.125)/log(1/2) = log(0.125)/log(0.50) = -0.903 / -0.301 = 3
Number of half-lives is 3.
Number of half-lives (n) is quotient of total time elapsed (t) and length of half-life (H).
n = t/H
t = n * H
n = 3
H = 47 years
t = 3 * 47 years = 141 years

What changes in the nucleus during nuclear decay by gamma rays A Energy content B Atomic MASS C Atomic number D All of the above.
Final answer:
The correct answer is "atomic mass & atomic number". During nuclear decay by gamma rays, only the energy content of the nucleus changes; atomic mass and atomic number remain constant.
Explanation:
In the process of nuclear decay by gamma rays, there is no change in the atomic mass or atomic number of the nucleus. The only change that occurs during gamma decay is in the energy content of the nucleus. During gamma decay, a nucleus in an excited state drops to a lower energy state by emitting high-energy photons known as gamma rays. This is often represented by the metastable state, labeled with an 'm' next to the mass number. Despite this change in energy, the number of protons (atomic number) and the combined number of protons and neutrons (atomic mass) remain unchanged.

Which ionic compound is the most likely to dissolve in water?
CaSO4
Na2SO4
BaSO4
SrSO4
Sodium sulfate (Na2SO4) is the ionic compound most likely to dissolve in water among the options provided.
The student is asking which of the listed ionic compounds is most likely to dissolve in water. Looking at the options, we have Calcium sulfate (CaSO4), Sodium sulfate (Na2SO4), Barium sulfate (BaSO4), and Strontium sulfate (SrSO4). According to solubility rules, most sulfate salts are soluble except for some exceptions, including BaSO4, SrSO4, and CaSO4. Given that sodium compounds are generally highly soluble, Na2SO4 is the compound that is most likely to dissolve in water. This is because there is less size mismatch between the Na+ and SO4(2-) ions compared to the other pairs of ions, which fits the trend that smaller size mismatches lead to greater solubility.
