Which is part of an experiment that serves as the point of comparison for the results?

Consider the story you just read. all but one of the choices below indicate that something is living.

There are two steps in the usual industrial preparation of acrylic acid, the immediate precursor of several useful plastics. in the first step, calcium carbide and water react to form acetylene and calcium hydroxide: cac2 (s) + 2h2o (g) → c2h2 (g) + caoh2 (s) =δh−414.kj in the second step, acetylene, carbon dioxide and water react to form acrylic acid: 6c2h2 (g) + 3co2 (g) + 4h2o (g) → 5ch2chco2h (g) =δh132.kj calculate the net change in enthalpy for the formation of one mole of acrylic acid from calcium carbide, water and carbon dioxide from these reactions. round your answer to the nearest kj .

How much would the freezing point of water decrease if 4 mol of nacl were added to 1 kg of water (kf=1.86 degrees c/(mol/kg) for water and i=2 for nacl a- 7.44 degrees c b- 14.88 c 3.72 d 1.86
