Answer:
Which statement is true about the particles of a solid when the solid changes into a liquid? (5 points)
a. They stop vibrating.
Selected: b. Their kinetic energy increases. This answer is correct.
c. They move closer to each other.
d. The attractive force between them increases.
Explanation: when a solid turns to a liquid it means it was melted and it needs to be heated to melt meaning the kinetic energy increases because the solid was heated up. Also this was on my test and i got it right so yeah.
Answer:
Buffers are resistant to high pH changes.
Explanation:
This perfectly explains the reason why we use buffers. Buffers are substances which consist of a weak acid and its conjugate base. Buffers are resistant to significant pH changes upon addition of strong acids or bases. To illustrate this, let's say we have a buffer consisting of 0.1 mol of HF, a weak acid, and 0.1 mol of NaF (fluoride is a conjugate base of HF).
- Let's say we add some strong acid, in a general form, this acid would be represented as . In this case, conjugate base will react and neutralize it to produce some amount of HF: .
- Similarly, if we add some strong base , the acidic component will react with it to produce some amount of conjugate base: . The ratio of HF to NaF in this case is held around the same value for addition of small amounts of strong acids/bases, so pH is kept almost constant, while in neutral water, pH would drastically increase or decrease.

Answer:
C. involve the attraction of opposite charges
Explanation:
<em>Ionic bonding</em> involves the attraction between <em>oppositely charged ions</em>, as in Na⁺ Cl⁻.
<em>Covalent bonding</em> involves the attraction between <em>negatively charged electrons and positivey charged nuclei</em>, as in a C-H bond.
A is <em>wrong</em>. Ionic bonding involves the transfer of electrons.
B is <em>wrong</em>. Covalent bonding involves the sharing of electrons.
D is <em>wrong</em>. Ionic bonds are usually stronger than covalent bonds.
