Answer:

Carbon is a highly covalent element due to the presence of four valence electrons in its outermost shell. This helps it bond covalently with other elements in various ways.

Carbon is known to be the backbone for most compounds. The carbon backbone vary in length and in the mode of bonding such as having the ability to from straight, branched, rings, double or triple bond which contibutes to the diversity and complexity of organic molecules.

The ka of hypochlorous acid (hclo) is 3.0 x 10-8 at . what is the % ionization of hypochlorous acid in a 0.015 m aqueous solutio
Ahat [919]

Answer is: the % ionization of hypochlorous acid is 0.14.

Balanced chemical reaction (dissociation) of an aqueous solution of hypochlorous acid:

HClO(aq) ⇄ H⁺(aq) + ClO⁻(aq).

Ka = [H⁺] · [ClO⁻] / [HClO].

[H⁺] is equilibrium concentration of hydrogen cations or protons.

[ClO⁻] is equilibrium concentration of hypochlorite anions.

[HClO] is equilibrium concentration  of hypochlorous acid.

Ka is the acid dissociation constant.

Ka(HClO) = 3.0·10⁻⁸.

c(HClO) = 0.015 M.

Ka(HClO) = α² · c(HClO).

α = √(3.0·10⁻⁸ ÷ 0.015).

α = 0.0014 · 100% = 0.14%.

At 170C, a sample of hydrogen gas occupies 125cm3. What will be the volume at 1000C? =161cm3 If the volume of a given mass of ga
pickupchik [31]

1. V= 161

2. V = 37.3

<h3 /><h3>Further explanation  </h3>

Charles's Law states that  

<em>When the gas pressure is kept constant, the gas volume is proportional to the temperature  </em>

\tt \dfrac{V1}{T1}=\dfrac{V2}{T2}

1.

\tt \dfrac{125}{17+273.15~K}=\dfrac{V2}{100+273.15}\\\\V2=160.7\rightarrow 161~cm^3

2.

\tt \dfrac{27.3}{0+273.15`K}=\dfrac{V2}{100+273.15}\\\\V2=37.3~cm^3

Arrange the steps in order to describe how photons and carbon dioxide contribute to the warming of earth
adell [148]

Answer:

The steps are arranged in the following order, describing how carbon dioxide and photons  impact the earth's warming.

Explanation:

The sequence is in the following order;

  1. The sun radiated sunlight (visible) photons
  2. Photons from the sun strike the earth and become infrared photons
  3. Earth radiates infrared photons into the atmosphere
  4. CO2 in the atmosphere absorb infrared photons
  5. CO2 in the atmosphere emit infrared photons back towards earth

Carbon dioxide (CO2) molecules can absorb energy from infrared (IR) radiation. Due to vibrations caused by this absorption, the CO2 molecules later release extra energy by emitting another infrared photon.

This ability of CO2 molecules to absorb and re-emit infrared energy is what makes it an effective heat-trapping greenhouse gas.
