What is produced when calcium reacts with fluorine in a synthesis reaction

Answers

Calcium fluoride is produced. It is one Calcium atom bonded to two fluoride atoms. The Calcium atom receives one electron from one fluoride and a second electron from the second fluoride atom. As a result of receiving the two electrons, Calcium will have a negative charge. The two fluorides become positive from losing an electron. The positive and negative charge attraction keeps the atoms close together to form an ionic bond.

With an average surface temperature of about 737 K, _______ is the hottest planet.A. Venus
B. Mercury
C. Mars
D. Earth

Answers

With an average surface temperature of about 737 K, Venus is the hottest planet.

While Mercury is closest to the sun, it has gaseous molecules that protect it. Venus is the second closest planet to the sun, and is the hottest planet.

With an average surface temperature of about 737 K, VENUS is the hottest planet.

What increases as the temperature of a solid object rises?A. thermal energy

B. potential energy

C. volume

D. mass

Answers

answer is thermal energy
A. Thermal energy
Thermal energy is heat energy, therefore the hotter a solid is the more thermal energy it has.

C. Volume
When an object gets hotter, it expands. This is becuase the particles vibrate more and so are less compact.

If the velocity of a body changes from 13 m/s to 30 m/s while undergoing constant acceleration, what's the average velocity of the body? A. 28 m/s
B. 17 m/s
C. 21.5 m/s
D. 19.5 m/s

Answers

Since the acceleration is constant, the average velocity is simply the average of the initial and final velocities of the body:

v_(avg) = (v_f+v_i)/(2)=(30 m/s+13 m/s)/(2)=21.5 m/s

We can proof that the distance covered by the body moving at constant average velocity v_(avg) is equal to the distance covered by the body moving at constant acceleration a:

- body moving at constant velocity v_(avg): distance is given by

S=v_(avg)t = (v_f+v_i)/(2)t

- body moving at constant acceleration a=(v_f-v_i)/(t): distance is given by

S=v_i t+ (1)/(2)at^2 = v_i t + (1)/(2)(v_f-v_i)/(t)t^2=(v_i+(1)/(2)(v_f-v_i))t=(v_f+v_i)/(2)t
The answer is 21.5 m/s

Which of the following terms helps to describe an ecosystem?population

The answer is all of the above because an ecosystem is how organisms and their environment interact. Population is animals, niche is and organism, and the habitat is the environment.

Air pollution is an example of a. The underground economy. B. An external shock. C. A nonmarket activity. D. A negative externality.

Answers

Answer:

D. A negative externality.

Explanation:

Particulate pollution is a form of pollution that is responsible for the degradation of the environment.

Particulate matter is also referred to as particle pollution or atmospheric aerosol particles and it can be defined as a complex microscopic mixture of liquid droplets and solid particles that are suspended in air.

An externality is typically an unwarranted cost or benefit by a manufacturer or producer of goods and services that affects a third party.

In Economics, an externality could either be positive or negative depending on its effect on a third party.

A negative externality arises when the production or consumption of a finished product or service has negative impact (cost) on a third party.

In conclusion, air pollution is an example of a negative externality because it causes harm to a third party.
