6 0

The sets of characteristics describe what we know about the inner planets is that have rocky surfaces, no rings, and few or no moons. The answer is letter C. Also, they are smaller in sizes compared to the outer planets. The rest of the choices are characteristics of the outer planets.

Answer: The correct answer is Option c.

Explanation: There are 2 types of planets in Our Solar system:

1. Inner planets: There are 4 planets which are known as inner planets which are Mercury, Venus, Earth and Mars. These 4 planets lie close to Sun. These planets have rocky surfaces and have no ring system in them. The maximum number of moons in inner planets are 2. The orbital time of these planets is less than the outer planets.

2. Outer planets: There are 4 planets which are known as inner planets which are Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus and Neptune. These 4 planets lie far from the Sun. These planets have gaseous surfaces and have ring system in them. These planets have many number of moons as compared to the inner planets. The orbital time of these planets is more than the inner planets.

From the above information, the correct answer is option c.

A compound containing phosphorus and oxygen has a molar mass of 219.9 g/mol and an empirical formula of p2o3. Determine its mole

Softa [21]

Answer:

P₄O₆

Explanation:

The molecular formula is a whole number multiple of the empirical formula. that is, if the mole wt is 219.9 gms/mole and the empirical formula weight is 110 gms/mole*, then the whole number multiple is 219.9/110 = 2 => Molecular formula => (P₂O₄)₂ => P₄O₆.

Why is it important for scientists to use the scientific method?

MakcuM [25]

Explanation:

It <em><u>provides an objective, standardized approach to conducting experiments</u></em> and, in doing so, improves their results. By using a standardized approach in their investigations, scientists can feel confident that they will stick to the facts and limit the influence of personal, preconceived notions.

I hope this helps you out!

On the basis of the information above, a buffer with a pH = 9 can best be made by using

telo118 [61]

Answer:

D H2PO4– + HPO42–

Explanation:

The acid dissociation constant for $\mathbf{H_3PO_4 , H_2PO^{-}_4 , HPO_4^{2-}}$ are $\mathbf{7\times 10^{-3}, \ \ 8\times 10^{-8} ,\ \ 5\times 10^{-13}}$ respectively.

$\mathbf{pka (H_3PO_4) = -log (7\times 10^{-3} )=2.2}$

$\mathbf{pka (H_2PO_4^-) = -log (8\times 10^{-8} )=7.1}$

$\mathbf{pka (HPO_4^{2-}) = -log (5\times 10^{-13} )=12.3}$

The reason while option D is the best answer is that, the value of pKa for both

$\mathbf{H_2PO^{-}_4 ,\ \& \ HPO_4^{2-}}$ lies on either side of the desired pH of the buffer. This implies that one is slightly over and the other is slightly under.

Using Henderson-Hasselbach equation:

$\mathbf{pH = pKa + log \Big( \dfrac{HPO_4^{2-}}{H_2PO_4^-} \Big)}$
