Here is your answer:

Homeostasis is how organisms keep cool or warm during a hot or cold day! Without homeostasis organisms will freeze or get hot easier which could cause diseases such as skin disease which could cause death if the part of the body gets affected!

Since acids have 1 more proton (H+ - ions) than base, and the acid gives it away, doesn't that mean that they switch roles? Acid
andreev551 [17]

Answer:

In an acid-base equilibrium, acid becomes a conjugate base and base becomes a conjugate acid.

Explanation:

Let's remember the Bronsted-Lowry theory to answer this specific question. According to the theory, acid is a proton donor, while a base is a proton acceptor.

Consider an acid in a form HA (aq) and base in a form of B (aq). Since acid is a proton donor, it will donate its hydrogen ion to the base, B. The resultant products would be A^{-} (aq) and BH^{+} (aq).

Remember that an acid-base reaction is an equilibrium reaction. This means we may also look at this proton transfer reaction from the product side towards the reactants. Summarizing what has been said, we may write the equilibrium as:

HA (aq) + B (aq) ⇄ BH^{+} (aq) + A^{-} (aq)

Now acid, HA, donates a proton to become a conjugate base. The conjugate base, if we look from the reverse equation side, is actually a base, since it can accept a proton to become HA. Similarly, B accepts a proton to become a conjugate acid. Looking from the reverse reaction, it can now donate a proton, so in reality we can consider it a base.

To summarize, your logic is correct.

Given a fixed amount of gas held at constant pressure, calculate the volume it would occupy if a 2.00 L sample were cooled from
aliina [53]

Answer:

1.82 L

Explanation:

We are given the following information;

  • Initial volume as 2.0 L
  • Initial temperature as 60.0°C
  • New volume as 30.0 °C

We are required to determine the new volume;

From Charles's law;

\frac{V_1}{T_1}=\frac{V_2}{T_2}

Where, V_1 and V_2 are initial and new volume respectively, while T_1 and T_2 are initial and new temperatures respectively;

T_1= 333 K

T_2=303K

V_1 =2.0L

Rearranging the formula;

V_2=\frac{V_1T_2}{T_1}

    = \frac{(2.0L)(303K)}{333K} \\=1.820 L

Therefore, the new volume that would be occupied by the gas is 1.82 L

Answer:

The answer to your question is      SO₂   +   3H₂    ⇒     H₂S   + 2H₂O

Explanation:

Reaction

                                SO₂   +   H₂    ⇒     H₂S   +  H₂O

                      Reactants           Elements            Products

                              1                   Sulfur                    1

                               2                  Hydrogen               4

                              2                   Oxygen                   1

This reaction is unbalanced so we need to balance it.

                              SO₂   +   3H₂    ⇒     H₂S   + 2H₂O

                      Reactants           Elements            Products

                              1                   Sulfur                   1

                              6                  Hydrogen               6

                              2                   Oxygen                  2

Now, the reaction is balanced

If a solution conducts electricity and has a pH value of 7 then it could be
stealth61 [152]
The solution that conducts electricity and has a pH value of 7 would most likely be a neutral solution. Water is among the best examples of a neutral solution. When the pH of a solution is considered to be lesser than 7, it is an acid, while if the pH is greater than 7, it is considered to be a basic solution.
