Answer:
![K_a=\frac{[H_3O^+][HCO_3^-]}{[H_2CO_3]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=K_a%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5BH_3O%5E%2B%5D%5BHCO_3%5E-%5D%7D%7B%5BH_2CO_3%5D%7D)
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:
Answer:
Explanation:
A solar collector is a device that absords Sun's heat energy to heat air or water. It is majorly used for heating purpose, and do not generate electricity directly.
The flow tubes and collector plate are black in color so as to increase the intensity of heat generated by the collector. A black body is a good absorber of heat, it absorbs most heat directed to the collector. Also, a black body is a good radiator of heat, the heat absorbed is rediated to the appropriate channels for the heating of water or air molecules. The black color increases the efficeincy and percentage of solar energy absorbed by the collector.
If a reflective color is used (e.g white), major percentage of the incident heat would be reflected. This would decrease the efficiency of the solar collector.
Answer:
-Warm air sinks, creating an area of low pressure.
Explanation:
Heat will weigh more, than cool air!
It would be NaOH + HCl → <span>NaCl + H2O
</span>
NaOH is sodium hydroxide, which is a strong base. HCl is hydrochloric acid, which is a strong acid.
You have a strong base and a strong acid on the left side, however, at the result side, you end up with NaCl + H2O. Sodium chloride is simply table salt and H2O is just water, thus it has been neutralized.
