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

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.

Logging trees is often controversial. Why would some people support logging and some people not support logging?
Harlamova29_29 [7]
It seems more and more there are fewer conservation organizations who speak for the forest, and more that speak for the timber industry. Witness several recent commentaries in Oregon papers that are by no means unique. I’ve seen similar themes from other conservation groups across the West in recent years.

Many conservation groups have uncritically adopted views that support more logging of our public lands based upon increasingly disputed ideas about forest health and fire ecology, as well as the age-old bias against natural processes like wildfire and beetles.

For instance, an article in the Portland Oregonian quotes Oregon Wild’s executive director Sean Stevens bemoaning the closure of a timber mill in John Day Oregon. Stevens said: “Loss of the 29-year-old Malheur Lumber Co. mill would be ‘a sad turn of events’” Surprisingly, Oregon Wild is readily supporting federal subsidies to promote more logging on the Malheur National Forest to sustain the mill.

South Florida is surrounded by salt water. The need for fresh
Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

Aquifer

Explanation:

Instead of snowcapped mountains that store water in advance of warmer temperatures, most of our drinking water comes from underground "mountains" of porous materials called aquifers which are replenished by rain. The Biscayne Aquifer is South Florida's lower east coast's primary source of fresh water.

A 5.5 g sample of a substance contains only carbon and oxygen. Carbon makes up 35% of the mass of the substance. The rest is mad
Umnica [9.8K]

We have been given the condition that carbon makes up 35% of the mass of the substance and the rest is made up of oxygen. With this, it can be concluded that 65% of the substance is made up of oxygen. If we let x be the mass of oxygen in the substance, the operation that would best represent the scenario is,

<span>                                       x = (0.65)(5.5 g)</span>

<span>                                       <em> </em><span><em>x = 3.575 g</em></span></span>
