At the beginning of this lesson, there was a question about two acids. Vinegar, which contains acetic acid, is used in foods and

has few safety concerns. Hydrochloric acid is used in chemistry labs and requires the use of safety goggles and gloves. Why do the safety concerns for these two acids differ?

Acetic acid is a weak acid and an organic compound and as such is not corrosive and therefore is acceptable to be used in food in the form of vinegar whereas hydrochloric acid is a strong mineral acid (partially derived from rock salt) and it is corrosive and from the author's experience it can be used in dilute form ie 10% by volume to react with limestone as a diagnostic test for that rock type (the limestone fizzes upon reaction with the dilute HCL.

Answer:

Acetic acid is a weak acid, and hydrochloric acid is a strong acid.

As a weak acid, acetic acid does not dissociate much. As a strong acid, hydrochloric acid dissociates completely.

The stronger the acid, the more hydrogen ions will be in a solution at a given concentration.

Because they donate hydrogen ions, acids can react with other materials that accept hydrogen ions. A stronger acid will be more reactive than a weak acid at the same concentration.

Why is a thermos considered a (mostly) closed system? Question 3 options: different types of liquids stay hot thermoses come in
cestrela7 [59]

Answer:

Different types of hot or cold items can be stored in a thermos and power cannot enter or exit the system when the thermos lid is tightly closed

Explanation:

Closed systems are those that do not interact or do not exchange energy with the environment that surrounds them, that is why internal temperatures and conditions are maintained.

The human body is an open system, that is, it would be the opposite of the thermos since we constantly exchange energy with the environment through sweating, emission of gases, urine, feces, and the ingestion of food.

Thermoses are systems specially created to maintain a medium, it will be maintained if its lid is hermetically closed to prevent heat leakage or entry in situations of cold fluids.

Fumaric acid, which occurs in many plants, contains, by mass, 41.4% carbon, 3.47% hydrogen, and 55.1% oxygen. The molecular mass
lukranit [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

C = 41.4/12 = 3.43

H = 3.47/1 = 3.47

O = 55.1/16 =3.44

CHO is the skeletal formula (divide each by the lowest number above). The results are close enough to 1 to be 1.

(CHO)_x = 116

C + H + O = 29

(29) _ x = 116

x = 116/29

x = 4

So there area 4 carbons 4 hydrogens and 4 oxygens.

The correct formula is C4H4O4
