In ∆ ABC, AD is the perpendicular bisector of BC (see Fig. 7.30). Show that ∆ ABC is an isosceles triangle in which AB = AC.
In ∆ADC and ∆ADB,
AD = AD (Common)
∠ADC = ∠ADB (Each 90º)
CD = BD (AD is the perpendicular bisector of BC)
∠∆ADC ∠∆ADB (By SAS congruence rule)
∴ AB = AC (By CPCT)
When 3.0g of carbon is burnt in 8.00g oxygen, 11.00g of carbon dioxide is produced. What mass of carbon dioxide will be formed when 3.00g of carbon is burnt in 50.0g of oxygen? Which law of chemical combination will govern your answer?
