Answer:
John Dalton
Explanation:
John Dalton in 1808 suggested that all matter consists of tiny particles called atoms and that the atoms of a specific element are identical.
He postulated the Dalton's atomic theory which has the following important parts;
- All matters consists of indivisible particles called atoms
- Atoms of the same element are similar and are different from atoms of other elements.
- Atoms can neither be created nor destroyed.
- Atoms combine in simple whole ratios to form compounds.
Answer:
The concentration of HA is the same as concentration of H3O+ and A- produced.
Explanation:
The dissociation equation is given below:
HA(aq) + H2O (l) —> H3O+(aq) + A-(aq)
From the reaction above, we can see that the acid is monoprotic acid i.e it has only 1 ionisable hydrogen atom.
Now, from the balanced equation, we can see that the acid produced equal concentration of H3O+ and A-.
This account for the reason why the bars for H3O+ and A- have the same height as the bar for HA.
<u>Answer:</u> The balanced half reaction is written below.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Reduction reaction is defined as the chemical reaction in which an atom gains electrons. The oxidation number of the atom gets reduced during this reaction.
When oxygen gas is reduced to oxide ions, the number of electron transferred are 2
The chemical equation for the reduction of oxygen gas to oxide ions follows:
Hence, the balanced half reaction is written above.
Answer and Explanation:
The primitive atmosphere of Earth may have favored the abiotic synthesis of organic molecules because it **had close to no oxygen, hence, it was powerfully reducing. It had pure energy sources too in form of ultraviolet rays from the sun (it was extremely hot! Too hot for water in liquid form to exist in fact!), outgassing from the numerous volcanoes and lightning**.
Abiotic synthesis means a formation reaction where the reactants are charged to become products, almost all on their own, with no catalyst especially.
So, these factors would have helped the organic molecules to form as most of what is needed to overcome the energy barrier and become products.
