A sealed beaker of what you are told is aqueous nickel sulfide was given to you by the local chemist and you put it on the window sill. Ater a tew days, you notice that the mixture is getting thick toward the bottom. What is the nature of the initial nickel sulfide mixture, assuming that the temperature on the sill remained approximately constant? a) It is a gas. b) It is a colloid. c) It is a solution.

Two pans of a balance are 24.1 cm apart. the fulcrum of the balance has been shifted 1.33 cm away from the center by a dishonest shopkeeper. by what percentage is the true weight of the goods being marked up by the shopkeeper? assume the balance has negligible mass. answer in units of %.

Visualize the problem and identify special cases first examine the problem by drawing a picture and visualizing the motion. apply newton's 2nd law, ∑f⃗ =ma⃗ , to each body in your mind. don't worry about which quantities are given. think about the forces on each body: how are these consistent with the direction of the acceleration for that body? can you think of any special cases that you can solve quickly now and use to test your understanding later? one special case in this problem is if m2=0, in which case block 1 would simply fall freely under the acceleration of gravity: a⃗ 1=−gj^.

Which of the following compounds would be primarily ionic? methane, ch4, ammonia nh3, calcium chloride, cacl2, or carbon dioxide, co2
