Several kinds of bears are found on earth. most bears are brown or black, but one type of bear, the polar bear, is white. what process led to this difference in fur color? explain your answer.

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.

Nconcentration refers to the molar concentration of an ion in solution. it may be identical to, or greater or less than, the molar concentration of the compound containing the ion that was used to make the solution. for soluble salts, the molarity of a particular ion is equal to the molarity of that compound times the subscript for that ion. for example, 1 m of alcl3 is 1 m in al3+ and 3 m in cl−. 1 m of (nh4)2so4 is 2 m in nh4+ and 1 m in so42−. part a what is the concentration of k+ in 0.15 m of k2s? view available hint(s) nothing m m part b if cacl2 is dissolved in water, what can be said about the concentration of the ca2+ ion? view available hint(s) if is dissolved in water, what can be said about the concentration of the ion? it has the same concentration as the cl− ion. its concentration is half that of the cl− ion. its concentration is twice that of the cl− ion. its concentration is one-third that of the cl− ion. part c a scientist wants to make a solution of tribasic sodium phosphate, na3po4, for a laboratory experiment. how many grams of na3po4 will be needed to produce 550 ml of a solution that has a concentration of na+ ions of 0.700 m ? express your answer numerically in grams. view available hint(s) mass of na3po4 n a 3 p o 4 = nothing g provide feedback
