Which statement best explains why gases are poor conductors of thermal energy?

Which element in the third period would you expect to have the larger atomic radius, sodium (na) or sulfur (s)? a. sodium, because it has a higher effective nuclear charge attracting electrons in fewer energy levels. b. sodium, because it has fewer protons attracting electrons in the same energy levels. c. sulfur, because it has more protons attracting electrons in more energy levels. d. sulfur, because it has a higher effective nuclear charge attracting electrons in the same energy levels.

Mitosis is a type of cell division that produces cells that are identical to the parent cell. meiosis is a different type of cell division that produces cells that carry have a genetic material of the parent cell. based on the information provided how do the purpose of mitosis and meiosis differ

Salicylic acid is a very important acid. it is used to synthesize the aspirin by treating with acetic anhydride. a 0.2015-g sample of salicylic acid was dissolved in a 100.00-ml volumetric flask, and the solution was diluted to the mark. a 10-ml aliquot of this solution was titrated with standard naoh (0.01130 + 0.2% n) to a phenolphthalein faint pink color end point at 19.81 ml. (a) (calculate the normality of the salicylic acid solution used in the titration. (b) assuming the salicylic acid is pure, what is the equivalent weight of the salicylic acid? practice problems for the final exam (continued) (c) (calculate the inherent error in the determination of the equivalent weight you calculated in part (b). use the following absolute errors in the equipment /glassware when calculating the inherent error. 5.00-ml pipet: + 0.02 ml 100-ml volumetric flask: + 0.08 ml analytical balance: + 0.2 mg 25-ml buret: + 0.03 ml
