Answer:

They have properties of both metals and nonmetals

Explanation:

Elements in the periodic table may be divided into Metals, non-metals, and metalloids.
Metals are the elements that react by losing electrons to form stable positively charged ions known as cations. Examples are group 1, 2, and 3 elements together with transition elements.
Non-metals are those elements that react by gaining electrons to form stable negatively charged ions called anions. Examples include oxygen, carbon, sulfur, etc.
Metalloids, on the other hand, are elements that have both metallic and non-metallic properties.
Metalloids occur between metals and non-metals in the periodic table. Examples include Boron and silicon among others.

2. In Experiment SOL, you investigated the solubility of oxalic acid. Sodium oxalate, Na2C2O¬4, is the sodium salt of this acid.

AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Sodium oxalate is a basic salt. In water it can be dissolved and dissociated.

The oxalic acid in water has two dissociations.

Explanation:

Na2C2O4 ---> 2Na+ + C2O4-2

Sodium oxalate is the conjugate base of a weak acid. In water this salt, dissociates completely giving rise to the sodium and oxalate ions. As Na+ comes from a strong base, in water it does not produce hydrolysis while oxalate does react in water, because it takes a proton from it and it generates a basic hydrolysis releasing OH-.

C2O4-2 + H2O ⇄ HC2O4- + OH-

In water the salt is basic. The pH of an aqueous solution of this salt is basic, since OH- is generated.

The HC2O4- has a second hydrolisis, it takes another proton from water to form oxalic acid.

HC2O4- + H2O ⇄ H2C2O4 + OH-

The oxalic acid acts as a weak acid, it can release 2 protons to water, to make oxalate (its conjugate base).

H2C2O4 + H2O ⇄ H3O+ + HC2O4-

HC2O4- + H2O ⇄ H3O+ C2O4-2

The HC2O4- acts as an ampholyte since it accepts and delivers protons simultaneously.

Which of the following best describes an ecosystem in a California tide pool?

frosja888 [35]

Answer: i think your answer is<u> The giant green anemones, the ochre sea stars, and the red octopuses</u> because an ecosystem means all the organisms and the physical environment with which they interact. If not then your other option would be <u>A a school of fluffy sculpins.</u>

Hope this helped you!

How are white blood cells linked to the lymphatic system?

Anon25 [30]

Answer:

The lymphatic system produces white blood cells, known as lymphocytes. There are two types of lymphocyte, T cells and B cells. They both travel through the lymphatic system. As they reach the lymph nodes, they are filtered and become activated by contact with viruses, bacteria, foreign particles, and so on in the lymph fluid.
