Use the term reclamation in a sentence

poizon [28]

Answer:

Explanation:

The increase of the arable land has been affected partly by the reclamation of the marshes, but mostly by the transformation of large tracts of the puszta

An example of a reclamation is how landfill employees sift through garbage to find usable items. An example of a reclamation is trees growing on land that was heavily logged.

Espresso Coffee House is designing a coffee mug that keeps liquids hot. The research department tested several different materia

raketka [301]

Answer:

This question is incomplete

Explanation:

This question is incomplete because the result of the described experiment would have better determined the type of scientific explanation to profer. However, the type of material that will preserve the relative hotness or temperature of the hot coffee for the longest time will be a material than can resist heat transfer. These materials tend to keep hot substances hot by not allowing the heat of the coffee to be conducted or pass through it. These materials are mostly insulators or made by placing an insulator between two heat conductors.

Generally, heat is usually transferred from a region of higher concentration to a region of lower concentration, hence when the heat is denied of this transfer, the heat will remain trapped in the "heat-donor" substance (in this case the hot coffee). Thus, the material chosen (A, B or C) will be the material that resists heat transfer the most based on the explanation above.

The equilibrium concentrations of the reactants and products are [HA]=0.280 M, [H+]=4.00×10−4 M, and [A−]=4.00×10−4 M. Calculate

Tems11 [23]

Answer:

6.24

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Concentration of HA, [HA] = 0.280 M,

Concentration of H+, [H+] = 4×10¯⁴ M

Concentration of A-, [A−] = 4×10¯⁴ M

pKa =.?

Next, we shall write the balanced equation for the reaction. This is given below:

HA <===> H+ + A-

Next, we shall determine the equilibrium constant Ka for the reaction. This can be obtained as follow:

Equilibrium constant for a reaction is simply the ratio of concentration of the product raised to their coefficient to the concentration of the reactant raised to their coefficient.

The equilibrium constant for the above equation is given below:

Ka = [H+] [A−] /[HA]

Concentration of HA, [HA] = 0.280 M,

Concentration of H+, [H+] = 4×10¯⁴ M

Concentration of A-, [A−] = 4×10¯⁴ M

Equilibrium constant (Ka) =

Ka = (4×10¯⁴ × 4×10¯⁴) / 0.280

Ka = 1.6×10¯⁷/ 0.280

Ka = 5.71×10¯⁷

Therefore, the equilibrium constant for the reaction is 5.71×10¯⁷

Finally, we shall determine the pka for the reaction as follow:

Equilibrium constant, Ka = 5.71×10¯⁷

pKa =?

pKa = – Log Ka

pKa = – Log 5.71×10¯⁷

pKa = 6.24

Therefore, the pka for the reaction is 6.24.
