Answer:
The correct answer is - Mosquitoes transmit the virus as parasites which feed on the blood of host organisms and inject the virus during feeding.
Explanation:
According to the CDC, the seasonal West Nile virus is caused by the mosquitoes of freshwater transmit this disease to humans and others. These mosquitoes are feed on the birds and pick these viruses.
These viruses stick on mosquitoes and when they feed on the blood of humans they transmit these viruses by injecting viruses into the blood of humans.
5.451 X 10³ kg of sodium carbonate must be added to neutralize 5.04×103 kg of sulfuric acid solution.
<u>Explanation</u>:
- Sodium carbonate is used to neutralized sulfuric acid, H₂SO₄. Sodium carbonate is the salt of a strong base (NaOH) and weak acid (H₂CO₃). The balanced chemical reaction for neutralization is as follows:
Na₂CO₃ + H₂SO₄ ----> Na₂SO₄ + H₂CO₃
- From a balanced chemical equation, it is clear that one mole of Na₂CO₃ is required to neutralize one mole of H₂SO₄.
- Molar mass of Na₂CO₃= 106 g/mol = 0.106 kg/mol and Molar mass of H₂SO₄= 98 g/mol = 0.098 kg/mol.
- To neutralize 0.098 kg of H₂SO₄ amount of Na₂CO₃ required is 0.106 kg, so, To neutralize 5.04×10³ kg of H₂SO₄, Na₂CO₃ required is = 5.451 X 10³ kg.
Guy-Lussac's Law states that the volume and the temperature are directly proportional given that the pressure remains constant.
For this problem, we will assume constant pressure. Based on the law:
(Volume/Temperatur)1 = (Volume/Temperature)2
(3.75/100) = (6.52/T)
T = 166.667 kelvin
Potassium oxide: K₂O.
There's no need for prefixes since K₂O is an ionic compound.
<h3>Explanation</h3>
Find the two elements on a periodic table:
- Potassium- K- on the left end of period four.
- Oxygen- O- near the right end of periodic two.
Elements on the bottom-left corner of the periodic table are metals. Those on the top-right corner are nonmetals.
- Potassium is a metal,
- Oxygen is a nonmetal.
A metal and a nonmetal combine to form an ionic compound. Potassium oxide is likely to be an ionic compound. It contains two types of ions:
- Potassium ions: Potassium is group 1 of the periodic table. It is an alkaline metal. Like other alkaline metals such as sodium Na, potassium K tends to lose one electron and form ions of charge +1 in compounds. The ion would be K⁺.
- Oxide ions from oxygen: Oxygen is the second most electronegative element on the periodic table. It tends to gain two electrons and form the oxide ion
when it combines with metals.
The two types of ions carry opposite charges. They shall pair up at a certain ratio such that they balance the charge on each other. The charge on each ion is twice that on a 
ion. Each would pair up with two . Hence the subscript in the formula: 
.
There are two classes of compounds:
- Covalent compounds, which need prefixes, and
- Ionic compounds, which need no prefix.
Prefixes are needed only in covalent compounds. For instance in the covalent compound carbon dioxide 
, the prefix di- indicates that there are two oxygen atoms in the formula . However, there's no need for prefix in ionic compounds such as 
.
Potassium itself is not a compound, it’s an element. Represented by “K” and has an atomic number of 19. However, it can be used to make a compound
