Answer:

A. Filtration by gravity

B. Syringe filter

C. Syringe filter

D. Filtration by gravity

E. Syringe filter

F. Filtration by gravity / Vacuum filtration.

Explanation:

Filtration is a mixture of separation techniques to separate solids from liquids. The filtration can be done by gravity, by pressure or by vacuum. The correct filtration is chosen by the characteristics of the mixture.

A. The particles are big, so it's possible to use a funnel and a filter paper with the right numeration (the diameter of the pores must be smaller than the particles). The filtration will happen by gravitation.

B. Because the volume is too small (1 mL), it can be used as a syringe filter, a small device in which the solution is put in the syringe, and then, by pressure, the solution goes from the filter. Thus, the filtration is done by pressure.

C. As letter B, the small volume indicates a pressure filtration by a syringe filter.

D. In this case, such as letter A, it's possible to use gravitation filtration.

E. Because of the volume is too small, such as letters B and C, the pressure filtration by a syringe filter is more indicate.

F. In this case, the filtration can be done by gravitation, and a vacuum can be added to accelerate it because is a small volume with solid impurities.

#5.) Explain why the rock cycle is referred to as a "cycle".

Natalka [10]

The rock cycle is referred to as cycle because it repeats over and over again. The definition of cycle is a series of events that are regularly related in the same order. So with the rock cycle they stay in the same order and repeat.
Hope this helps :)

Given the following equilibrium constants: Kb B(aq) + H2O(l) ⇌ HB+(aq) + OH−(aq) 1/Kw H+(aq) + OH−(aq) ⇌ H2O(l) What is the equi

Answer: The value of $K_c$ for the net reaction is $\frac{K_b}{K_w}$

Explanation:

The given chemical equations follows:

Equation 1: $B(aq.)+H_2O(l)\rightleftharpoons HB^+(aq.)+OH^-(aq.);K_b$

Equation 2: $H^+(aq.)+OH^-(aq.)\rightleftharpoons H_2O(l);\frac{1}{K_w}$

The net equation follows:

$B(aq.)+H^+(aq.)\rightleftharpoons HB^+(aq.);K_c$

As, the net reaction is the result of the addition of first equation and the second equation. So, the equilibrium constant for the net reaction will be the multiplication of first equilibrium constant and the second equilibrium constant.

The value of equilibrium constant for net reaction is:

$K_c=K_1\times K_2$

We are given:

$K_1=K_b$

$K_2=\frac{1}{K_w}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$K_c=K_b\times \frac{1}{K_w}=\frac{K_b}{K_w}$

Hence, the value of $K_c$ for the net reaction is $\frac{K_b}{K_w}$
