Answer:

Common ones are Gasoline, Diesel fuel, and Kerosene.

Explanation:

Many accelerants are hydrocarbon-based fuels, sometimes referred to as petroleum distillates: gasoline, diesel fuel, kerosene, turpentine, butane, and various other flammable solvents. These accelerants are also known as ignitable liquids. Ignitable liquids can leave behind tell-tale marks in the fire debris.

Hoped this had helped you :)

In the following net ionic equation, identify each reactant as either a Bronsted-Lowry acid or a Bronsted-Lowry base. HCN(aq) H2

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Explanation:

The definition of acids and bases by Arrhenius Theory was modified and extended by Bronsted-Lowry.

Bronsted-Lowry defined acid as a molecule or ion which donates a proton while a base is a molecule or ions that accepts the proton. This definition can be extended to include acid -base titrations in non-aqueous solutions.

In this theory, the reaction of an acid with a base constitutes a transfer of a proton from the acid to the base.

From the given information:

$\mathsf{HCN _{(aq)} + H_2O_{(l)} \to CN^{-}_{(aq)} + H_3O_{(aq)}}$

From above:

We will see that HCN releases an H⁺ ion, thus it is a Bronsted-Lowry acid

$H_2O$ accepts the H⁺ ion ,thus it is a Bronsted-Lowry base.

The formula of the reactant that acts as a proton donor is HCN

The formula of the reactant that acts as a proton acceptor is H2O

With respect to a fixed point, motion is defined as a change in- A)speed B)position

Arisa [49]

Answer:

With respect to a fixed point, motion is defined as a change in position.

Explanation:

MOTION -: Motion is described as the fact in which any object or body changes its position over the time with respect to a fixed point .

Motion is defined as displacement, distance, velocity , acceleration, speed , and time in mathematical terms. By linking an observer to a frame of reference and measuring the shift in the position of the body with a change in time relative to that frame, the motion of a body is observed.

Would it be C..? More NO2 and SO2 would form..help..please and thank you

Scorpion4ik [409]

Answer:

C. More NO2 and SO2 will form

Explanation:

Le Chatelier's Principle : It predicts the behavior of equilibrium due to change in pressure , temperature , volume , concentration etc

It states that When external changes are introduced in the equilibrium then it will shift the equilibrium in a direction to reduce the change.

In given Reaction SO3 is introduced(increased) .

So equilibrium will shift in the direction where SO3 should be consumed(decreased)

Hence the equilibrium will go in backward direction , i.e

$NO + SO_{3} \rightarrow NO_{2} + SO_{2}$

So more and more Of NO2 and SO2 will form

A mixture of chalk powder and water can be

grin007 [14]

Answer:

<h3>Right answer is: ( a) chalk powder remains suspended in water.</h3>

Explanation:

Filtration is the technique used to separate suspended solute particles from a solution . The chalk powder remains suspended in the solution and can easily be filtered through a filter paper , the chalk powder can be collected on the filter paper and clear solvent is collected as the filtrate.
