Capillarity. Capillary action is what causes anything with a wick to work, think about when you stick the corner of a paper towel in water, the water soaks up the paper towel.

Ammonium cyanide is a salt formed by hydrogen cyanide and ammonia. Ammonia is a weak base and hydrogen cyanide is a weak acid. 
NH₄CN + H₂O ⇒ NH₃ + HCN 

NH₄⁺ + H₂O -----> H₃O⁺ + NH₃

CN⁻ + H₂O -----> HCN + OH⁻ 

Although both compounds are weak electrolytes, NH₃ is somewhat stronger base than HCN is a strong acid, so the solution reacts alkaline. We can prove this using Ka and Kb values:

Ka(HCN) = 4.9 x × 10⁻¹⁰

Kb(NH₃) = 1.8 × 10⁻⁵<span>
Kw= </span>1.0 × 10⁻¹⁴

Let's first calculate Ka for NH₄⁺: 
Ka(NH₄⁺) x Kb(NH₃<span>) = pKw

</span>Ka(NH₄⁺) = Kw/Kb(NH₃) = 5.6 x 10⁻¹⁰

Then, Kb for CN⁻:

Kb(CN⁻) x Ka(HCN) = pKw

Kb(CN⁻) = Kw/Ka(HCN) = 2 x 10⁻⁵

 
From this, we can see that the acid constant NH4⁺ is much lower than the base constant of CN⁻, which will say that the solution of NH₄CN will react slightly alkaline because of the higher presence of hydroxyl ions in solution.

How does air bubbles affect density of a solid object?
kirill [66]

it decreases the density of the object the air bubbles take up space. it increases the volume of the object slightly but the objects weight remains the same, hence the objects density decreases

What is one of the BEST practices officers should use when securing a crime scene?
notsponge [240]

Answer:

The best practices officers should use when securing a crime scene is option D

D. They should secure a larger area than the actual crime scene

Explanation:

Officers should secure the scene by limiting access to the scene and movement within the scene

Three layers of secure perimeter should be used by officers to secure a crime scene, with the smallest inside perimeter being the actual crime scene

Next to the crime scene, is an inner perimeter which is the designated meeting point/command post

The outer perimeter, which is the third outer layer is to keep onlookers, passerby, and nonessential personnel at safety and out of the actual crime scene.

Calculate the specific heat of the substance if 373 J is required to raise the temperature of a 312 gram sample by 25°C?
I am Lyosha [343]

Explanation:

Q = 373J

∆∅ = 25°C

m = 312g

c = x

Q = mc∆∅

373 = 312(x)(25)

373 = 7800x

x = 373/7800

x = 0.0478J/(g°C)
