We anticipate that the resulting aqueous solution will be basic.

<h3>What is the definition of a weak acid?</h3>

Weak acids are those that do not dissociate completely in solution. A weak acid is defined as any acid that is not a strong acid. A weak acid's strength is determined by how much it dissociates; the more it dissociates, the stronger the acid.

<h3>What exactly is a conjugate base?</h3>

A conjugate base is the base member, X-, of two compounds that transform into one another by gaining or losing a proton. In a chemical reaction, the conjugate base has the ability to gain or absorb a proton.

<h3>According to the given information:</h3>

Calcium propionate [Ca(CH₃CH₂COO)₂

We know that Calcium propionate dissolves completely in water.

So,

Ca(CH_3CH_2+COO)_2→Ca^2^+ +2CH_{3}CH_2COO−

Water can protonate the propionate anion. When everything is balanced,

CH_3CH_2\\COO−+H2O⇌CH_3CH_2COOH+OH−

We anticipate that the resulting aqueous solution will be basic.

A sample of an ideal gas at 1.00 atm and a volume of 1.87 L was placed in a weighted balloon and dropped into the ocean. As the
Ludmilka [50]

Answer:

Volume of sample after droping into the ocean=0.0234L

Explanation:

As given in the question that gas is idealso we can use ideal gas equation to solve this;

Assuming that temperature is constant;

Lets P_1 and V_1 are the initial gas parameter before dropping into the ocean

and P_2 and V_2 are the final gas parameter after dropping into the ocean

according to boyle 's law pressure is inversly proportional to the volume at constant temperature.

hence,

P_1V_1=P_2V_2

P1=1 atm

V1=1.87L

P2=80atm

V2=?

After putting all values we get;

V2=0.0234L

Volume of sample after droping into the ocean=0.0234L

What fuel source is Jan using if she exercises at 85% of her maximum aerobic capacity?
Marina86 [1]

Answer:

Carbohydrates

Explanation:

Increased exercise intensity means the overall need for energy increases. As we increase exercise intensity we increase our glucose uptake and oxidation which far exceeds uptake, indicating that muscle stores of glycogen are being used. At moderate intensities (65%) there is an increased need for muscle glycogen and muscle triglycerides which is fat. At higher levels of intensities (85%) there is an even greater need for energy, and this is met almost solely by an increased uptake of glucose from the blood and from muscle glycogen.

In the case of fats as an energy fuel source at high intensities, increasing levels of intensity increases fat oxidation but once we get into higher levels of intensity, we return to levels of fat oxidation similar to very low intensities.

4 Na + O2 → 2 Na2O<br><br> 6.79 moles of O2 will react to form how many moles of Na2O?
Nataly_w [17]

Answer:

13.94moles of Na₂O

Explanation:

The balanced reaction expression is given as:

        4Na  +  O₂  →   2Na₂O

Given parameters:

Number of moles of O₂ = 6.97moles

Unknown:

Number of moles of Na₂O

Solution:

 To solve this problem;

            1 mole of O₂  will produce 2 moles of Na₂O ;

            6.97 moles of O₂ will produce 6.97 x 2  = 13.94moles of Na₂O
