Gerald's science teacher mixed room temperature samples of hydrochloric acid and sodium hydroxide in a large beaker. The solutio

n still looked clear like water, but when the students carefully touched the beaker one at a time, it felt warm to the touch. Why did the beaker most likely feel warm?
A. The two liquids were not soluble in water.
B. The release of a gas heated the solution.

Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The chemical reaction equation will be as follows.

      HCl + NaOH \rightarrow NaCl + H_{2}O

This means a new substance has been formed and a chemical change has taken place.

A chemical reaction in which heat energy is absorbed by the reactant molecules is known as an endothermic reaction.  

For example, A + B + Heat \rightarrow AB

On the other hand, a chemical reaction in which heat energy is released by the reactant molecules is known as an exothermic reaction.  

For example, C + D \rightarrow CD + Heat is an exothermic reaction.

Thus, we can conclude that in the given situation the beaker most likely felt warm because a chemical reaction was producing a new substance.

What metalloid has commonly been used as an insecticide due<br> to its effectiveness as a poison.
Taya2010 [7]

Answer:

Arsenic.

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, since insecticides are substances that act as poisons to get rid of insects in order to prevent their presence and/or reproduction in houses, companies, crops and others, a substance that has been widely used is the metalloid arsenic due to its direct affection of the insect's body (movement, performance, cellular functions).

In addition, high levels of arsenic in food could cause arsenic poisoning in humans as well, that is why such practice must be properly performed and by using the correct security protocol.

Best regards!

What is the ph of a solution that has a poh of 11.24
galina1969 [7]
Always remember that pH + pOH = 14 
Here, you have a pOH of 11.24, so  you replace it in the equation, and u get:
pH + 11.24 = 14

Then, You move 11.24 to the other part. and moving from a part to another change the sign of the equation. And you get:
pH = 14 - 11.24 = 2.76

So, the pH of a solution that has a pOH of 11.24 is pH = 2.76

Hope this Helps :)
