<u>Answer:</u> The incorrect statement is all acid names end with -ic.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Acids are defined as the chemical species which donate hydrogen ions when dissolved in water.

$HA(aq.)\rightarrow H^+(aq.)+A^-(aq.)$

The nomenclature of the acids that are derived from the anions attached to hydrogen ion:

If the name of the anion attached ends with -ate, then the prefix of the acid is -ic. <u>For Example:</u> $H_3PO_4$ , the anion is phosphate and the name of the acid is phosphoric acid.
If the name of the anion attached ends with -ite, then the prefix of the acid is -ous. <u>For Example:</u> $H_2SO_3$ , the anion is sulfite and the name of the acid is sulfurous acid.
If the name of the anion attached ends with -ide, then the prefix of the acid is -ic. <u>For Example:</u> HCl, the anion is chloride and the name of the acid is hydrochloric acid.

Hence, the incorrect statement is all acid names end with -ic.

<span>The answer to this question would be: A. all acid names end with "-ic"

Not all acid have "-id" suffix for their name. The example of this was already mentioned in the question as the sulfite ion will be called sulfurous acid. The "-ous" name is given to acid with lower oxidation state. Sulfuric acid will be the H2SO4 which have higher oxidation state.</span>

How isa molecule of mercury different from a molocue of water

Genrish500 [490]

<h2>Answer:</h2>

The density of mercury molecule is higher than water.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Density is defined as mass per unit volume.In other words, density is the amount of matter within a given amount of space. water has the density of 1.0 gram per milliliter whereas the mercury has a density of 13.6 grams per centimeter squared.

One reason for the differences in density between mercury and water is that the atomic mass of mercury is 200.59 grams per mole. The atomic mass of water is 18.0 grams per mole. This is because mercury has a larger nucleus than hydrogen or water.

Additionally, there are strong inter-molecular forces (hydrogen bonds) between water molecules. hydrogen molecules do not stack upon one another as nicely as mercury atoms. Thus, there is additional empty spaces between the water molecules leading to its lower mass per volume(density)

gregori [183]

In, 1937 Lawrence, in operating his cyclotron, bombarded a molybdenum-96 foil with deuterium ions (2h), producing for the first time an element not found in nature. He was initially unaware that the radioactivity produced by the "bombarded foil" was not from molybdenum but from a new, artificial element. It was his cooperation with Italian-American physicist <span>Emilio Segrè </span>that allowed the new element to be discovered. The answer is Technetium: Tc

Calculate the mass of carbon dioxide produced from complete combustion of 16.6 g of octane, C8H18, in the following reaction. C8

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

51.2g of CO2

Explanation:

The first step is to balance the reaction equation as shown in the solution attached. Without balancing the reaction equation, one can never obtain the correct answer! Then obtain the masses of octane reacted and carbon dioxide produced from the stoichiometric equation. After that, we now compare it with what is given as shown in the image attached.

What are some ways that organelles are similar to organ system?

Vaselesa [24]

Explanation:

Like organs in an organism, each organelle has a specific function in a cell. All of the organelles work together to carry out the functions of the cell as a whole, just as organs do to an organism. For example, mitochondria are the sites of cellular respiration; they provide energy the cell
