Answer:

A. a weak acid and a strong base

Explanation:

An acid-base reaction is a chemical reaction between an acid and a base to form salt and water. The reaction is also known as a neutralization reaction.

An acid is a compound that when in aqueous solution it dissociate to form an hydrogen ion(H+).

A base is a compound that when in aqueous solution it produces an hydroxide ion(OH-) .

A strong acid is an acid that completely dissociate in an aqueous solution.

A strong base is a base that completely dissociate in an aqueous solution.

The reaction that produce a salt like sodium carbonate is a chemical reaction between a weak acid and a strong base. The chemical reaction can be represented as follows

H2CO3 + 2NaOH → Na2CO3 + 2H2O

H2CO3 is a weak acid as it partially dissociate in aqueous solution.

NaOH is a strong base as it completely dissociate in aqueous solution.

Of the following gases, ________ will have the greatest rate of effusion at a given temperature. Of the following gases, _______

kolezko [41]

<u>Answer:</u> From the given gases, the greatest rate of effusion is of $CH_4$

<u>Explanation:</u>

Rate of effusion of a gas is determined by a law known as Graham's Law.

This law states that the rate of effusion or diffusion of a gas is inversely proportional to the square root of the molar mass of the gas. The equation given by this law follows:

$\text{Rate of diffusion}\propto \frac{1}{\sqrt{\text{Molar mass of the gas}}}$
