Explain why unboiled water can be used to prepare an acetic acid solution, but not a naoh solution?

Chemistry

shtirl [24]3 years ago

NaOH is a hygroscopic compound, which means that it has a very strong affinity for water. Moreover, NaOH is also a stronger base than acetic acid is a strong acid. These two properties of NaOH make it necessary for different precautions to be taken while preparing a solution. 
On the other hand, acetic acid is not very reactive and may easily be prepared in a solution of unboiled water.

A compound that occupies a receptor but does not activate the neuron is known as a(n)?
Yuliya22 [10]

A compound that binds to a receptor but does not activate the neuron is known as an Antagonist.

A receptor is a large protein molecule on a neuron that gets activated when a ligand binds to it such as a drug or hormone, or when electrical impulses pass through it.

An antagonist is a drug or hormone that binds to receptor, but instead of activating the receptor, it blocks or dampens the activation of the neuron. Antagonist drugs are used to interfere with the normal function or operation of a protein receptor.

Depending on the nature of the antagonist or the receptor it's bound to, the effects of antagonists may be permanent or temporary.

Applying a force can make an electron shift from one atom to another causing what?
Alexus [3.1K]
Electrons in atoms can act as our charge carrier, because every electron carries a negative charge. If we can free an electron from an atom and force it to move, we can create electricity.

• Before the balloon was placed inside the hot water, the pressure was the same inside and outside the balloon. The hot water raised the kinetic energy of the air molecules inside the balloon, expanding the balloon, through thermal expansion.

• (1) the pressure of air inside the balloon increased, (2) the volume of the inside of the balloon increased as well, and (3) the temperature of the balloon increased. Note that pressure and volume are inversely proportional, and pressure and temperature are directly proportional. Therefore as the temperature increases, the pressure inside will increase, causing an increase in the volume. At a certain point though the volume will increase too much as to cause a significant decrease in pressure.

• The air molecules will gain kinetic energy, hence (1) increasing the molecules's speed, and (2) heating the air molecules.
