The nails can puncture the tires of the vehicles making them deflated after a while. The process of tire deflation due to a puncture is due to the process called an effusion. Thus, option c is correct.

<h3>What is effusion?</h3>

Effusion is the process that defines the escape of the fluids or gases from a system through an outlet with a small diameter compared to the mean free path of the molecules.

When a tire is punctured then the gas from the tire starts to move out through the hole through effusion. This leads to deflation of the tire after some time as all the gas present inside had moved out completely.

Therefore, option c. a punctured tire deflates due to effusion.

What happens to ice as it melts energy
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

Energy is added (postive enthalpy)

Explanation:

Ice melting means solid turns into liquid. Solid is more stable than liquid thus you must put in energy to weaken the forces of solid and turn it into liquid. Thus, you must put in energy to melt ice. This makes the enthalpy of the system to be positive.

A buffer is prepared by adding 139 mL of 0.39 M NH3 to 169 mL of 0.19 M NH4NO3. What is the pH of the final solution? (Assume th
Paha777 [63]

Answer:

pH = 9.48

Explanation:

We have first to realize that NH₃ is a weak base:

NH₃ + H₂O ⇔ NH₄⁺ + OH⁻     Kb = 1.8 x 10⁻⁵

and we are adding this weak base to a solution of NH₄NO₃ which being a salt dissociates 100 % in water.

Effectively what we have here is a buffer of a weak base and its conjugate acid. Therefore, we need the Henderson-Hasselbach formula for weak bases given by:

pOH = pKb + log ( [ conjugate acid ] / [  weak base ]

mol NH₃ = 0.139 L x 0.39 M = 0.054 mol

mol NH₄⁺ = 0.169 L x 0.19 M = 0.032 mol

Now we have all the information required to calculate the pOH ( Note that we dont have to calculate the concentrations since in the formula they are a ratio and the volume will cancel out)

pOH = -log(1.8 x 10⁻⁵) + log ( 0.032/0.054) = 4.52

pOH + pH = 14 ⇒ pH = 14 - 4.52 = 9.48

The solution is basic which agrees  with NH₃ being  a weak base.
