Answer:

The two properties of most non metals are high ionization energy and poor electrical conductivity. The correct option among all the options that are given in the question is option "1". In general it is known that nonmetals are very poor conductors of heat and electricity. The nonmetals that are solid are normally very brittle and has very little or no metallic luster at all. Nonmetals are highly reactive and show variety of chemical properties. It can also be pointed out that the nonmetals gain electrons very easily.

An acid with the general formula RCOOH is used to make a 0.10 M solution in water. The pH of this acid solution is measured as 3

Sati [7]

Answer:

0.159 \%

Explanation:

The acid will dissociate according to the reaction shown below:-

$RCOOH + H_2O\rightleftharpoons RCOO^- + H_3O^+$

Given that, pH=3.8

The concentration of can be determined from the expression fo pH as:-

pH = - log $[H^+]$

3.8 = - log $[H^+]$

$[H^+]$ = $1.59\times 10^{-4}\ M$

The initial concentration of RCOOH was 0.10 M, then the percent dissociation was- calculated as shown below:-

$\% \ dissociation=\frac{1.59\times 10^{-4}}{0.10}\times 100=0.159\ \%$

How does evolution work

sergey [27]

Billions of years ago, according to the theory of evolution, chemicals randomly organized themselves into a self-replicating molecule. This spark of life was the seed of every living thing we see today (as well as those we no longer see, like dinosaurs). That simplest life form, through the processes of mutation and natural selection, has been shaped into every living species on the planet.

Which one would be expected to happen? If one of the buffers that contribute to pH stability in human blood is carbonic acid (H2

vredina [299]

Answer:

The correct answer is option C.

Explanation:

$H_2CO3+H_2O\rightleftharpoons HCO_3^{-} + H_3O^+$

On increasing the pH of the blood the hydronium ions concentration will decrease which will result in decrease in concentration of hydronium ions at the equilibrium state of hydrogen carbonate.

Le-Chatelier's principle:

This principle states that if there is any change in the variables of the reaction, the equilibrium will shift in the direction to minimize the effect.

According to Le-Chatelier's principle , on decrease in a concentration of the product the equilibrium moves in forward correction to re-establish itself.

So, on increasing the pH, the hydronium ions concentration will decrease which results in disassociation of more hydrogen carbonate to maintain the pH of the blood.

Hence, the correct answer is option C.
