Answer:

Ratio of [CO₃²⁻] / [H₂CO₃] is 1.0x10⁻⁸

Explanation:

Based on the equilibriums:

H₂CO₃ ⇄ H⁺ + HCO₃⁻ Ka1 = 4.3x10⁻⁷

HCO₃⁻ ⇄ H⁺ + CO₃²⁻ Ka2 = 4.8x10⁻¹¹

The sum of both equilibriums is:

H₂CO₃ ⇄ 2 H⁺ + CO₃²⁻ K' = 4.3x10⁻⁷*4.8x10⁻¹¹ = 2.064x10⁻¹⁷

Where K' is defined as:

K' = 2.064x10⁻¹⁷ = [H⁺]² [CO₃²⁻] / [H₂CO₃]

If concentration of H⁺ is 4.5x10⁻⁵M:

K' = 2.064x10⁻¹⁷ = [4.5x10⁻⁵]² [CO₃²⁻] / [H₂CO₃]

1.0x10⁻⁸ = [CO₃²⁻] / [H₂CO₃]

Thus, <em>ratio of [CO₃²⁻] / [H₂CO₃] is 1.0x10⁻⁸</em>

Which of the following are SI units? Select<br> all that apply.
Dimas [21]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

Seconds (s)

Liters (L)

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

SI units relate to the International System of Units. These units are the base, metric units that are most commonly accepted for different measurements.

Common SI Units

The most common SI units are as follows:

  • Length - meter (m)
  • Time - second (s)
  • Mass - kilogram (kg)
  • Amount of substance - mole (mole)
  • Electric current - ampere (A)
  • Temperature - kelvin (K)
  • Volume - liter (L)

*Note that gram (g) is not an SI unit

Each type of measurement will only have 1 SI unit. This is the unit that will be expected for most answers. Sometimes this means converting an answer into a different unit so it is more widely accepted.

Why SI Units are Important

SI units are important for the same reason that the metric system is used. It gives a standardized list of measurements that scientists across the world can use. Also, it makes it easier to compare scientific findings and studies when all of the measurements are given in the same units.

There are times when it is unrealistic to use SI units. For example, when discussing space, using meters will not be realistic due to the size of space. Also, when measuring the mass of small elements, kilograms are too large. But otherwise, SI units should be used.

What is the likely impact of water's high specific heat on life on Earth? (3 points)
statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Marine life is least affected by the temperature fluctuations of the atmosphere.

Explanation:

The high specific heat capacity of water means that it takes much more energy to raise the temperatures of water by one (1) degree than land. This means that on a hot sunny day, land temperatures would increase dramatically while ocean temperatures would only rise slightly. Conversely,  at night, the land cools rapidly while oceans cool slowly hence the temperatures drop slightly.
