Describe a procedure to separate a mixture of sugar, black pepper, and pebbles.

stiks02 [169]

Pass the mixture through a screen to allow the salt and pepper to pass through but traps the pebbles. Mix the salt and pepper with water to dissolve the salt and filter it to get the pepper.

hich statement is true? A. An acid with a large pKa will be a better conductor of electricity than one with a smaller pKa. B. An

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{B is correct}}$

Explanation:

Kₐ and pKₐ are measures of the strength of an acid. For example,

HX + H₂O ⇌ H₃O⁺ + X⁻; Kₐ = 10¹⁰, pKₐ = -10

HA + H₂O ⇌ H₃O⁺ + A⁻; Kₐ = 10⁻¹⁰, pKₐ = 10

HX is a strong acid, because it has a larger Kₐ, that is, the position of equilibrium lies far to the right.

However, pKₐ is the negative logarithm of Kₐ, so HX has the smaller pKₐ.

Similarly, Ha is a weak acid, but it has the larger pKₐ.

Strong acid: Large Kₐ ⇔ Low pKₐ

Weak acid: Small Kₐ ⇔ High pKₐ

A is wrong. HA is a weak acid, so it produces only a few hydronium ions.

B is correct. The rate of corrosion depends on the concentration of hydronium ions. HA is a weak acid, so it is less corrosive than an acid with a small pKₐ.

C is wrong. HX is a strong acid, so there are more ions to carry the current. HX will be a good conductor of electricity.

D is wrong. HX is a strong acid, so it provides more hydronium ions and is more corrosive.

E is wrong. HX is a strong acid, so it provides more hydronium ions to stimulate the taste buds.

$\boxed{\textbf{B is correct}}$

Explain the three states of matter on the basis of characteristics of particles/ molecules of matter.

Xelga [282]

Answer :

Explanation For The Three States OF Matter On the Basis OF Characteristics Of Particles / Molecules OF Matter.

<h3>Solid: </h3>

In solids the molecules are closely packed . There is a strong force of attraction between the molecules and the space between them is very small (almost negligible). The molecules are , therefore, not free to move . They merely vibrate their mean positions . This makes solids hard and difficult to compress , giving them a fixed shape and size.

<h3>Liquid : </h3>

In the case of liquids , the molecules are not closely packed. They do not attract each other as strongly as the molecules of solids. Thus, the intermolecular spaces are larger and the molecules are able to move about more freely . This makes liquid flow and take the shape of the container into which it is poured. Thus, liquids have a fixed volume but no definite shape of their own .

In the case of gases, the molecules hardly attract each other. They lie far a part from each other and the intermolecular spaces are, therefore, very large. . The intermolecular force of attraction is so weak that the molecules have great freedom of movement . As a result , gases have neither a fixed shapenor a fixed volume . They completely full up spacw available to them. They can be easily compressed as well, thus decreasing the gaps between their molecules .

A dark grey rock has a mass of 80 grams. When dropped in water, it makes the water level rise from 70 mL to 90 mL. What is the d

podryga [215]

Answer:

I don't remember how to label it, but it is 20.

Explanation:

The answer is 20 because once you dat the rock in the water, that is how much it changed.
