Okay, I don't understand these things:

If you have o.500 mol of KCL, some distilled water, and a 250. mL volumetric flask, how can you make a 0.500 M solution of KCl?

I think it's the concentration formula, Cmolarity= mol of solute / volume of solution, but you would need a 1 Liter flask wouldn't you??

and which of these has a greater mass of solute, 1 liter of 0.1 M NaCl, or 1 L of 0.06 M of Na2CO3? :| please help?

thank you

Hello!
I have a 20 gallon tank..ph is 7.0, and ammonia and nitrates and nitrites were just checked today and were good...I have had this tank for almost three months...in it, I have
2 Balloon Mollies
2 Buenas Aries tetras
and an Algae Eater.
They have been thriving and doing really well since I set up the tank. Today, i added two dwarf Gouramis...a red flame and and powder blue. They seem to be doing okay, eating fine and still moving their fins...but the blue one stays around the bottom of the tank..hiding behind a plant. The red one spends most of the time hiding in the pirate ship I have...is this normal? I read that Gourami's are top to middle dwellers...is it okay for them to be hiding at the bottom since this is their first day in the tank? Also, I let them acclimate for 20 minutes...please give me your input! Thank you!.

well the reseach i have done on it has shown, that not as meds are brought to market as in our system now, so basicly less Pharmaceutical firms will be needed.

so this means many jobs will be lost especially smaller companies like bilcare.

so less meds available , less jobs in that field, so where is the plus ?

i work for a small med firm i dont want to lose my job because we arent researching large amounts of new meds like we are now , when my job is on the line i have a right to be bias

we'll spend more money and lose a large amount of jobs, i dont think ppl thought about this side just wanted to put it out there.

plus not to mention places like england have recorded a large amount of their population leaving to get med care

my friend has one of those slim line HP computers, and they leave it on all the time. well recently they went to use it and the screen was black and stayed black, so they held the power button in to turn it off and now it won't turn back on. i tried to go through it, cleaned it out, and looked for anything that might have caused it but didn't find anything. there was a jumper to clear the CMOS, but i didn't want to mess with that till i knew exactly what it did. the computer is running Windows XP Media Center edition 2005. any tips or ideas on what the problem might be would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

I have a USB microphone and the Type-A connector broke. Can I replace that adapter by splicing on a new one?

I'm essentially trying to avoid having to buy a whole new mirophone. It seems to me that since you can replace the adapters on Cat-5 cables, etc that you should be able to do this with a USB cable too for cheap.

The adapter is a type A adapter. On the other end is the microphone. There are no connectors inbetween.

Why do black people in america wear clothing that is too large, so its really baggy. For example, short sleeve shirts that are so big. they hang to the knees.
Is it because they want to look like they are in a gang?

Ok so I've been working at this place for a while now. The only reason that I started working there is because I had family that worked there. I found out that I got paid every night and I was super happy. But then I found out why. There are so many illegal things going on with this place. It's a restruant. There is only one person in the entire business that actually gets a check with taxes taken out. The rest of us get paid under the table, the waitresses don't share tips, which I wouldn't mind but they don't do any of the work. Here are some more things this place is doing that is wrong:
-They save lemons and onions off of tables and reuse them
- They don't have set hours with set pay
- They constantly over work workers without extra pay
- They reuse food left over from the previous weeks

And that is just some of the things. If the IRS found out they weren't taxing pay, I know they could get in trouble. I'm tired of them getting away with this. How do I report them??

Maybe it's true that life begins at fifty.
But everything else starts to
wear out, fall out, or spread out.

There are three signs of old age.
The first is your loss of memory,
the other two I forget.

You're getting old when
you don't care where your spouse goes,
just as long as you don't have to go along.

Middle age is when work is a lot less fun
and fun a lot more work.

Statistics show that at the age of seventy,
there are five women to every man.
Isn't that the darndest time for a guy to get those odds?

You know you're getting on in years
when the girls at the office start confiding in you.

Middle age is when it takes longer to rest than to get tired.

By the time a man is wise enough to watch his step,
he's too old to go anywhere.

Middle age is when
you have stopped growing at both ends,
and have begun to grow in the middle.

Of course I'm against sin;
I'm against anything that I'm too old to enjoy.

A man has reached middle age
when he is cautioned to slow down by his doctor
instead of by the police.

Middle age is having a choice of two temptations
and choosing the one that will get you home earlier.

You know you're into middle age when
you realize that caution is the only thing
you care to exercise.

At my age, "getting a little action" means
I don't need to take a laxative.

Don't worry about avoiding temptation.
As you grow older, it will avoid you.

The aging process could be slowed down
if it had to work its way through Congress.

You're getting old when
getting lucky means
you find your car in the parking lot.

You're getting old when
you're sitting in a rocker
and you can't get it started.

You're getting old when
your wife gives up sex for Lent,
and you don't know until the 4th of July.

You're getting old when
you wake up with that morning-after feeling,
and you didn't do anything the night before.

The cardiologist's diet:
if it tastes good, spit it out.

Doctor to patient: I have good news and bad news:
the good news is that you are not a hypochondriac.

It's hard to be nostalgic
when you can't remember anything.

You know you're getting old when
you stop buying green bananas.

Last Will and Testament:
Being of sound mind, I spent all my money.
