Answer:

Certain things we think of as hard work, such as writing an exam or carrying a heavy load on level ground, are not work as defined by a scientist. The scientific definition of work reveals its relationship to energy—whenever work is done, energy is transferred.

For work, in the scientific sense, to be done, a force must be exerted and there must be motion or displacement in the direction of the force.

Answer:

4.26 %

Explanation:

There is some info missing. I think this is the original question.

<em>Calculate the percent ionization of nitrous acid in a solution that is 0.249 M in nitrous acid. The acid dissociation constant of nitrous acid is 4.50 × 10 ⁻⁴.</em>

<em />

Step 1: Given data

Initial concentration of the acid (Ca): 0.249 M

Acid dissociation constant (Ka): 4.50 × 10 ⁻⁴

Step 2: Write the ionization reaction for nitrous acid

HNO₂(aq) ⇒ H⁺(aq) + NO₂⁻(aq)

Step 3: Calculate the concentration of nitrite in the equilibrium ([A⁻])

We will use the following expression.

$[A^{-} ] = \sqrt{Ca \times Ka } = \sqrt{0.249 \times 4.50 \times 10^{-4} } = 0.0106 M$

Step 4: Calculate the percent ionization of nitrous acid

We will use the following expression.

$\alpha = \frac{[A^{-} ]}{[HA]} \times 100\% = \frac{0.0106M}{0.249} \times 100\% = 4.26\%$

Which processes of the water cycle involve the movement of water in the liquid state?

dangina [55]

Answer:

Surface runoff and condensation

Explanation:

Let's define each of the given processes in order to understand them better:

evaporation is a process in which liquid phase transforms into a gas phase;
precipitation is a process in which we produce a solid phase, usually this is the case when we precipitate a salt out of a solution, analogy of precipitation for water would be transformation from a liquid to a solid phase, such as freezing;
surface runoff is a process in which water flows over the surface of a land without any change in its phase;
condensation is a process in which a gas transforms into a liquid.

All in all, notice that surface runoff keeps water in its liquid state, while all the other three options consider phase change. The only phase change of interest is condensation: we produce liquid water from water vapor and then we can analyze its movement in the liquid state.
