Explanation:

Amorphous solids are the substances in which atoms or molecules are arranged in a disorder manner. That is, molecules are randomly arranged to each other.

An amorphous solid have only small region where atoms are arranged in a definite order. This is known as short range order.

For example, rubber, glass, pitch etc are all amorphous solids.

Whereas a crystalline solid has atoms arranged in a definite or regular order.

This order is so regular that by knowing just any one site arrangement we can predict the arrangement of another site. This is known as long range order.

A crystalline solid possesses both long range and short range order. Whereas an amorphous solid possesses only short range order.

Hence, we can conclude that since there is only short range order present in an amorphous solid that is why amorphous solids not have a long range order in the arrangement of their particle.

If the a of a monoprotic weak acid is 1. 2×10^−6. What is the [H] of a 0. 31 m solution of this acid?
Vanyuwa [196]

The pH of the solution of the given acid is 3.099

Let  HX  be the weak acid:

HX ⇌  H^{+}+ X^{-}

For which:

K_{a} = [ H^{+}][ X^{-}] / [HX]

If  K_{a} lies in the range 10^{-4} - 10^{-10}we can assume that the equilibrium concentrations used in the expression are a good enough approximation to the initial concentrations.

Rearranging and taking negative logs of both sides gives:

pH = \frac{1}{2} [pK_{a} - loga]

a is the concentration of the acid.

pK_{a} =-logK_{a} = -log (2×10^{-6}) = 5.69

pH = \frac{1}{2} [5.69- (-0.508)]

pH = 3.099

What is the mole ratio of D to A in the generic chemical reaction? 4A + B --> C + D​
storchak [24]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

Mole ratio of D to A is 1 : 4

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given the generic chemical equation;

4A + B → C + D​

We are supposed to determine the mole ratio of D to A

What is mole ratio?

  • Mole ratio is the ratio of the number of moles of reactants or products in a chemical reaction.
  • We determine the mole ratio using the coefficients of reactants or products in question.

For example;

  • In the equation, 4A + B → C + D​, the coefficient of A is 4 while the coefficient of D is 1.
  • This means, 4 moles of A reacts with 1 mole of b to produce 1 mole of C and 1 mole of D
  • Thus, mole ratio of D to A  is 1 : 4

What is an ion in chemistry
Inga [223]
Its an atom, or molecule, [in which] the complete amount of electrons isn't equal to the complete amount of protons. (Giving the atom/molecule a positive or negative electrical charge). 

If this is incorrect- I'm sorry! ^^;
