Answer is: The product of Ka and Kb equals the auto-dissociation constant for water.

Reaction of auto-dissociation for water: H₂O ⇄ H⁺ + OH⁻.

Water dissociates (autoionization) to form hydrogen ions (H⁺) and hydroxide (OH⁻) ions. The protons (H⁺) hydrate as hydroxonium ions( H₃O⁺).

The Kw (the ionic product for water) at 25°C is 1·10⁻¹⁴ mol²/dm⁶ or 1·10⁻¹⁴ M². Concentration of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions in pure water are the same.

Ka · Kb = Kw; the ionic product of water.

Name a device or other object whose major purpose is to convert

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

Storage battery oe cell

Explanation:

The storage battery or cell is a device that coverts chemical energy into light energy when required.

During charging of battery, there is some chemical changes in the battery and absorb energy. The absorbed energy is converted into electrical energy when connected to an external load.

Hence, the correct answer is "Storage battery or cell".

What does a fluorine ion have in common with a neon and a sodium ion

DanielleElmas [232]

The atomic number (Z) of the 3 elements F, Ne, and Na, are 9, 10, and 11.

Explanation:

Now Z refers to the number of protons in the element's nucleus, and protons are POSITIVELY charged particles. So a fluoride ion, F−, has 10 electrons rather than 9 (why?), a neutral neon atom has 10 electrons, and a sodium ion, Na+, also has 10 electrons (why?).

So the 3 species are ISOELECTRONIC; they possess the same number of electrons.

You should look at the Periodic Table to confirm the electron number. Elements are (usually) electrically neutral (sometimes they can be ionic if they have lost or gained electrons). If there are 10 positively charged protons in the nucleus, there are NECESSARILY 10 electrons associated with the NEUTRAL atom. I don't know WHY I am capitalizing certain WORDS.

You might ask why sodium will form a positive ion, Na+, whereas F forms a negative ion, F−. This again is a Periodic phenomenon, and explicable on the basis of the electronic structure that the Table formalizes.

Neutral metals tend to be electron-rich species, which have 1 or more electrons in a valence shell remote from the nuclear charge. On the other hand, neutral non-metals have valence electrons in incomplete shells, that do not effectively shield the nuclear charge. The demonstrable consequence is that metals lose electrons to form positive ions, whereas non-metals gain electrons to form negative ions.

A piece of high-density Styrofoam measuring 24.0 cm by 36.0 cm by 5.0 cm floats when placed in a tub of water. When a 1.5 kg boo

zheka24 [161]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Width of Styrofoam = 24.0 cm

Length of Styrofoam = 36.0 cm

Height of Styrofoam = 5.0 cm

Therefore, volume of the Styrofoam will be calculated as follows.

Volume = length × width × height

= (36.0 × 24.0 × 5.0) $cm^{3}$
