Explanation:

Because the solution only contains Na+ and Cl− ions, and water, and not the metal Na(s) . You cannot evaporate the water from the solution and hope to obtain anything but NaCl(s) .

Na(s) has an electron configuration of 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 3s^1 , but Na+(aq) has an electron configuration of 1s^2 2s^2 2p^6 . That means they are not the same element, and thus, there is no straightforward way of extracting Na(s) from a NaCl (aq) solution

A 40-lb container of peat moss measures 14× 20× 30 in. A 40-lb container of topsoil has a volume of 1.9 gal. Calculate the avera

Viktor [21]

The average density of the peat moss in units of g/cm³ is 2.52 g/cm³

<h3>How to convert 40 lb to grams (g)</h3>

We'lol begin by converting 40 lb to grams (g). This can be obtained as follow:

1 lb = 453.592 g

Therefore,

40 lb = (40 × 453.592) / 1 lb

40 lb = 18143.68 g

<h3>How to convert 1.9 gal to cm³</h3>

We can convert 1.9 gal to cm³ as follow:

1 gal = 3785.41 cm³

Therefore,

1.9 gal = (1.9 gal × 3785.41 cm³) / 1 gal

1.9 gal = 7192.279 cm³

<h3>How to determine the density </h3>

The density can be obtained as follow:

Mass = 18143.68 g
Volume = 7192.279 cm³
Density =?

Density = mass / volume

Density = 18143.68 / 7192.279

Density = 2.52 g/cm³

A class wants to find the ideal temperature for plants to grow in a terrarium. If the students set up several terrariums, what s

Veseljchak [2.6K]

It would be B because you want to know which TEMPERATURE is the best for the plant. Different brightness for a bulb will give different amounts of heat. Since the amount of heat is your INDEPENDENT VARIABLE, you have to change the amount of heat for each plant, so the brightness of bulbs. Therefore, B is your answer!

H2CO3(aq) + H200 H30 (aq) + HCO3 (aq).

timofeeve [1]

Answer:

$K_a=\frac{[H_3O^+][HCO_3^-]}{[H_2CO_3]}$

Explanation:

Several rules should be followed to write any equilibrium expression properly. In the context of this problem, we're dealing with an aqueous equilibrium:

an equilibrium constant is, first of all, a fraction;
in the numerator of the fraction, we have a product of the concentrations of our products (right-hand side of the equation);
in the denominator of the fraction, we have a product of the concentrations of our reactants (left-hand side o the equation);
each concentration should be raised to the power of the coefficient in the balanced chemical equation;
only aqueous species and gases are included in the equilibrium constant, solids and liquids are omitted.

Following the guidelines, we will omit liquid water and we will include all the other species in the constant. Each coefficient in the balanced equation is '1', so no powers required. Multiply the concentrations of the two products and divide by the concentration of carbonic acid:

$K_a=\frac{[H_3O^+][HCO_3^-]}{[H_2CO_3]}$
