  • Different intermolecular attractions accessible to solvent molecules cause various solvent effects, in part.
  • Certain solvents form hydrogen bonds. A fairly typical example is water, as well as alcohols like methanol. Others don't donate hydrogen bonds; they can only accept them.
  • Some solvents may more effectively stabilize the anions that result from the deprotonation of Bronsted acids. As a result, when measured in various solvents, pKa values may vary.
<h3>What is pKa value?</h3>
  • In layman's terms, pKa is a measurement of an acid's strength. A strong acid will have a pKa value that is lower than 0.
  • To be more specific, pKa is the Ka value's negative log base ten value (acid dissociation constant).
  • How tightly a proton is retained by a Bronsted acid is how the strength of an acid is measured.

Heat is being transferred from the ground to the air above it by conduction. Explain how this is possible.
Klio2033 [76]

Answer:

Conduction directly affects air temperature only a few centimeters into the atmosphere. During the day, sunlight heats the ground, which in turn heats the air directly above it via conduction. At night, the ground cools and the heat flows from the warmer air directly above to the cooler ground via conduction.

I need help with number 8 please help ASAP.
Rzqust [24]

Answer:

33.33% = 33%

Explanation:

MgCO3(s) + 2HCl (aq) --> MgCl2(aq) + H20(l) + CO2(g)

1 mole of MCO3 will produce → 1 mole of CO2

We need to get the number of mole of CO2:

and when we have 0.22 g of CO2, so number of mole = mass / molar mass

Moles = 0.22 g / 44 g/mol = 0.005 mole

Moles of Mg = moles of CO2 = 0.005 mole

Mass of Mg = moles * molar mass

= 0.005 * 84 /mol = 0.42 g

Percent of MgCO3 by mass of Mg = 0.42 g / 1.26 * 100

=33.33 %
