Advertising claims sometimes state that adding something mechanical to a car's engine will allow it to recover 100 percent of th

e energy that comes from burning gasoline. You should be skeptical of such claims because they violate the

Answer:

second law of thermodynamics.

Explanation:

The second law of thermodynamics deals with interconversion of energy from one form to another. Although energy can be converted from one form to another, this conversion is never 100% efficient because energy is lost in certain ways such as through heat. In a combustion engine, it is not possible to recover the energy from the gasoline 100% since energy must be lost along the way via such means as heat losses. Hence I will be skeptical about such an advert.

ivann1987 [24]
Alpha particle has a mass of 4 (Two protons and two neutrons)
Neutron has a mass of 1
Beta particle has a mass of about 0 (Electron)
Proton has a mass of 1

What is the equation for the base ionization constant of PO4^3-
agasfer [191]
Chemical reaction of PO₄³⁻ ion in water:
PO₄³⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) → HPO₄²⁻(aq) +OH⁻(aq).
Kb = [HPO₄²⁻] · [OH⁻] / [PO₄³⁻]; <span>base ionization constant.
</span>Base ionization constant <span>is the equilibrium </span>constant<span> for the </span>ionization<span> of a </span>base<span>.
</span>According to  Bronsted-Lowry theory acid are donor of protons and bases are acceptors of protons (the hydrogen cation or H⁺<span>). 
</span>PO₄³⁻ is Bronsted base and it can accept proton and become conjugate acid HPO₄²⁻.
