 if you go to a desert and your in the middle of nowhere you get thirsty and have no water and need to find water to drink so the sun is the reason it heats faster than water in the desert

Answer:

Water has a higher heat capacity than land.

Explanation:

You know how long it takes for water to start boiling? That is because of waters strong thermal resistance! Water can hold its temperature very well, this is why the ocean only goes up a couple of degrees every year, even with rising temperatures. Water has to reach the temperature of 212 degrees in order to boil. On the other hand, land does not have a very high heat capacity. This is why land heats up faster than water.

Which of the following will be most soluble in octane?
natima [27]

Answer:

CH3CH3CH2CH3

Explanation:

Octane is a non-polar compound. It is a hydrocarbon with 8-carbon length along its chain.

It belongs to a special group of hydrocarbons called alkanes.

What makes a substance soluble in another?

   It is a common phrase that  "like dissolves like". This is applicable to solubility of substances in another.

  • A polar solvent will freely and easily dissolve a polar solute. For example, water and salt.
  • A non-polar solvent will also dissolve a non-polar solute. This case, hydrocarbons will dissolve themselves.
  • The first option is a butane, a 4-carbon length hydrocarbon which will be dissolved in octane.
  • Both compounds are non-polar.

1. Rank the following compounds in order of decreasing acid strength using periodic trends. Rank the acids from strongest to wea
Softa [21]

Answer:

1. HBr>HCl> H2S >BH3

2.K_a1 very large — H2SO4

K_a1= 1.7 x 10^−2 — H2SO3

K_a1 = 1.7 x 10^−7 — H2S

Explanation:

As one goes down a row in the Periodic Table the properties that determine the acid strength can be observed.

The atoms get larger in radius meaning that in strength, the strength of the bonds get weaker, conversely meaning that the acids get stronger.

For the halogen-containing acids above following the rows and periods, HBr has the strongest bond and is the strongest acid and others follow in this order.

HBr>HCl> H2S >BH3

Acid Dissociation Constant provides us with information known as the ionization constant which comes in handy to measure the acid's strength. The meaning of the proportions are thus, the higher the Ka value, the stronger the acid i.e. it liberates more number of hydrogen ions per mole of acid in solution.

In solution strong acids completely dissociate hence, the value of dissociation constant of strong acids is very high.

Following the cues above on Ka;

K_a1 very large — H2SO4

K_a1= 1.7 x 10^−2 — H2SO3

K_a1 = 1.7 x 10^−7 — H2S

Question 10
eduard

Answer:

C. Biodiesel made from plant oil.

Explanation:

The  type of vegetable oil used in production greatly affects the performance of biodiesel in the winter. The less saturated the fat, the better the performance in winter time. Canola oil works very well for low temperature biodiesel, and palm oil is among the worst for cold weather performance.

Hope this helped!!!
