A __________ reaction occurs when a substance, usually containing carbon, reacts with oxygen to produce energy in the form of he

at and light.
Chemistry

____ [38]3 years ago
4 0
This is called a combustion reaction. A combustion reaction involves oxygen gas. Most combustion reaction are exothermic as they give off heat. When organic molecules (containing carbon and hydrogen) combust the reaction products are carbon dioxide and water as well as heat or light. Combustion reactions may be complete or incomplete, a complete combustion releases more energy than incomplete combustion.

Is potassium fluoride a covalent bond or ionic bond
Ivahew [28]

It's an ionic bond! Potassium is a cation, or a metal with a positive charge, and fluoride is an anion, or a nonmetal with a negative charge.

A covalent bond is the bond between two nonmetals.

Hope this helped!

SOMEONE EXPLAIN THIS TO ME?!?!
labwork [276]

Answer:

Determining the pH of substances such as purple grape juice and catsup using test strips can be difficult. Why?

Explanation:

Due to the tartaric acid present in these substances, this is a weak acid and is the predominant type of acid in grapes.

pH meters for these substances, measure the total acidity of the sample and convert it into tartaric acid concentration; The test strips are a qualitative method of measurement and their result can give different opinions.

Briefly describe four ways that a beam can be strengthened?​
lara31 [8.8K]

Answer:

1. Changing Beam Material

2. Corrugation

3. Changing Beam form

4. Steel Reinforcing Bars

Explanation:

Changing Beam Material

Some materials are stronger when used in beams than others. Beams made of steel for instance are stronger than beams made of wood. Therefore changing material can improve the strength of the beam. It is quite important to take into account the weights of the material though as different structures have different requirements.

Corrugation.

You can fold the beam into triangular shapes to increase strength. If you look at roofs you will notice that they are folded and this increased their strength. The same logic can be applied to beams.

Changing Beam Form

Another way to make Beams stronger is to change their form or rather their shape. Straight beams are not as strong as I-beams for instance. I-beams look like the capital letter I with the lines at both ends. I-beams are usually used in construction which shows that they are quite strong.

Steel Reinforcing Bars

When placed in concrete beams, Steel Reinforcing Bars which are also called Rebar can help strengthen a beam by helping it withstand the forces of tension. A concrete beam with Rebar inside it is known as Reinforced Concrete.

In a salt solution, what happens to sodium and chloride ions?
iVinArrow [24]
<span>In a salt solution (a solution of water (H2O) and Salt, chemical formula NaCl), the positively charged Hydrogen atoms from water form bonds with the negatively charged Chloride atoms of Salt (which is the formulate NaCl), and the negatively charged oxygen atom of water (one atom per water molecule) form a bond with the positively charged Sodium ions (Na) of salt.</span>

The solubility of kcl in ethanol is 0.25 g / 100 ml at 25 oc. how does this compare to the solubility of kcl in water?
Furkat [3]
Solubility data of a certain solute with a certain solvent is empirical. There are constant values for this at varying temperatures. For KCl in water at 25°C, the solubility is 35.7 g/100 mL of water. When you compare this with the solubility data of KCl with ethanol, this means that KCl is more soluble in water than in ethanol. This is true because KCl is an ionic salt which is very soluble in water.
