List 3 scenarios for a substance being classified as a weak acid

Chemistry

A way to classify an acid as being weak is to determine how strongly the substance conducts electricity. If the acid or base conducts electricity strongly, it is a strong acid or base. If the acid or base conducts electricity weakly, it is a weak acid or base.

Answer:

3 scenarios:  

1. acetic acid, organic acid that comes from vinager

2. citric acid, that is present in some fruits

3. phosphoric acid , present in sodas

Explanation:

A weak acid is the one that partially transferres its proton (H+) to a water molecule ( partial dissociation), and usually a part of the original acid (HA) remains after the process of dissociation; that is why, a dissociation reaction of a weak acid is represented with an arrow of both ways.

HA ⇌ H^{+} +A^{-}

As we can see, the acetic acid, citric acid and phosphoric acid are great examples of weak acid. Their pH is higher thanks to its low dissociation, and they can even be eaten in low concentrations.

Kilauea volcano in hawaii emits 200-300 tons of sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere each day. this is an example of?
o-na [289]

Kilauea volcano in Hawaii emits 200-300 tons of sulfur dioxide into the atmosphere each day. This is an example of

  • the impact of natural processes on the earth's environment.
  • air pollution from a natural source.
  • the magnitude of the chemistry associated with the environment.

Kilauea volcano in Hawaii emits noxious compounds of sulfur dioxide and other harmful pollutants as a result of a reaction with atmospheric water vapors and oxygen.

This reaction results in acid rain and volcanic smog which pollutes the air.

Over the years, the volcano has become a potential threat to health as harmful oxides are accelerating respiratory problems and acid rain destroys crops, and also harms water supplies.

What additional tests would be needed to establish the exact position of hydrogen?
Gemiola [76]
The question above is incomplete, the full question is given below:
What additional test would be needed to establish the exact position of hydrogen in the activity series of the following elements: magnesium, zinc, lead, copper and silver.

ANSWER
The position of hydrogen on a reactivity series can be determined by its ability to displace oxygen from the oxide of the metal concerned. If hydrogen is more reactive than a metal, it will displace oxygen from the metal oxide and reduce the metal oxide to its metal. If the metal is more reactive than hydrogen, hydrogen will not be able to reduce the metal oxide to its metal.

Determine the mass of KNO3 that dissolves in 100 grams of water at 40°C to produce a saturated solution
velikii [3]
From a solubility curve the solubility of KNO3 at 40°C is about 63 g / 100 g of water.


That means that 100 g of water at 40°C can dissolve 63 g of KNO3.


A saturated solution is one that cannot dissolve more solute, because it already has reached the greatest concentration that it can hold.


Then, the mass of KNO3 that dissolves in 100 g of water is about 63 g.

Which of the following is the largest volume? 1.2 x 101 m3 1.2 x 108 cm3 2.0 x 104 dm3 1.2 x 108 mm3
alexandr1967 [171]
In order to answer this question, the units of volume must be consistent. In this problem, we decide the unit m3 to be uniform. Option A is equal to 12 m3, option b is equal to 1.2x10^8/100^3 or 120 m3. Option C is 2.0 x10^4/ 10^3 or 20 m3. Option D is 1.2x10^8/ 1000^3 or 0.12 m3. The greatest volume is option b. 120 m3.
