Gravity pulls mass towards its center, therefore as matter is pulled towards a source of gravity it will naturally coalesce into a ball as matter competes to head towards the source of gravity.
Answer:
Id say A. Competition, hope this helps

Answer:
![K_a=\frac{[H_3O^+][HCO_3^-]}{[H_2CO_3]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=K_a%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5BH_3O%5E%2B%5D%5BHCO_3%5E-%5D%7D%7B%5BH_2CO_3%5D%7D)
Explanation:
Several rules should be followed to write any equilibrium expression properly. In the context of this problem, we're dealing with an aqueous equilibrium:
- an equilibrium constant is, first of all, a fraction;
- in the numerator of the fraction, we have a product of the concentrations of our products (right-hand side of the equation);
- in the denominator of the fraction, we have a product of the concentrations of our reactants (left-hand side o the equation);
- each concentration should be raised to the power of the coefficient in the balanced chemical equation;
- only aqueous species and gases are included in the equilibrium constant, solids and liquids are omitted.
Following the guidelines, we will omit liquid water and we will include all the other species in the constant. Each coefficient in the balanced equation is '1', so no powers required. Multiply the concentrations of the two products and divide by the concentration of carbonic acid:
![K_a=\frac{[H_3O^+][HCO_3^-]}{[H_2CO_3]}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=K_a%3D%5Cfrac%7B%5BH_3O%5E%2B%5D%5BHCO_3%5E-%5D%7D%7B%5BH_2CO_3%5D%7D)
Answer:

Explanation:
Since the <em>rate constant</em> has units of <em>s⁻¹</em>, you can tell that the order of the reaction is 1.
Hence, the rate law is:
![r=d[A]/dt=-k[A]](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=r%3Dd%5BA%5D%2Fdt%3D-k%5BA%5D)
Solving that differential equation yields to the well known equation for the rates of a first order chemical reaction:
![[A]=[A]_0e^{-kt}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BA%5D%3D%5BA%5D_0e%5E%7B-kt%7D)
You know [A]₀, k, and t, thus you can calculate [A].
![[A]=0.548M\times e^{-3.6\cdot 10^{-4}/s\times99.2s}](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BA%5D%3D0.548M%5Ctimes%20e%5E%7B-3.6%5Ccdot%2010%5E%7B-4%7D%2Fs%5Ctimes99.2s%7D)
![[A]=0.529M](https://tex.z-dn.net/?f=%5BA%5D%3D0.529M)
