The answer is a change in internal energy causes work to be done and heat to flow into the system.

Explanation:

The first law of thermodynamics is a similar version of the law of conservation of energy where the energy can neither be created nor be destroyed, it can be transformed from one form to the other.
It also defines that the work is done and heat flowing into the system is due to the change in internal energy. The sum of all energy including kinetic and potential energy except the displaced energy to the surrounding is known as internal energy.
ΔU represents the change in internal energy of the system, Q represents the net heat transferred into the system, and W represents the net work done by the system. So +ve Q adds energy to the system and =ve W takes energy from the system. Thus ΔU=Q−W.

Identify each of the following household substances as a strong electrolyte, weak electrolyte, or non-electrolyte: salt solution

wolverine [178]

Answer:

Electrolytes are substances that can ionize in water. They could be acids, bases or salts as long as they give ions when they dissolve in water.

Explanation:

Strong electrolytes completely ionize when dissolved in water, leaving no neutral molecules. The strong electrolytes here are: salt water, baking soda (NaHCO3) solution.
Weak electrolytes do not completely dissociate in solution, and hence have a low ionic yield. Examples of this would be vinegar and bleach (which could be sodium hypochlorite or chlorine, which are weakly dissociated).
Non-electrolytes will remain as molecules and are not ionized in water at all. In this case, sugar solution is a non-electrolytes, even though sugar dissolves in water, but it remains as a whole molecule and not ions.

The Ka for formic acid (HCO2H) is 1.8 × 10-4. What is the pH of a 0.35 M aqueous solution of sodium formate (NaHCO2)?

anzhelika [568]

Answer:

9.36

Explanation:

Sodium formate is the conjugate base of formic acid.

Also,

$K_a\times K_b=K_w$

$K_b$ for sodium formate is $K_b=\frac {K_w}{K_a}$

Given that:

$K_a$ of formic acid = $1.8\times 10^{-4}$

And, $K_w=10^{-14}$

So,

$K_b=\frac {10^{-14}}{1.8\times 10^{-4}}$

$K_b=5.5556\times 10^{-11}$

Concentration = 0.35 M

HCOONa ⇒ Na⁺ + HCOO⁻

Consider the ICE take for the formate ion as:

HCOO⁻ + H₂O ⇄ HCOOH + OH⁻

At t=0 0.35 - -

At t =equilibrium (0.35-x) x x

The expression for dissociation constant of sodium formate is:

$K_{b}=\frac {[OH^-][HCOOH]}{[HCOO^-]}$

$5.5556\times 10^{-11}=\frac {x^2}{0.35-x}$

Solving for x, we get:

x = 0.44×10⁻⁵ M

pOH = -log[OH⁻] = -log(0.44×10⁻⁵) = 4.64

pH + pOH = 14

So,

pH = 14 - 4.64 = 9.36

Arturiano [62]

These are main components of Industrial Smog. Smog is air pollutant. Main sources of Smog are 1) Coal, 2) Transportation Emission, 3) Natural Causes. Those areas are mainly effected which are located in Industrial Zones and those which has high traffic density. Cities like Delhi, Beijing, London, Maxico City, Log Angeles, Tehran e.t.c are reported to be highly effected by smog. Among these polutants, CO₂ is the main source of Global Warming, CO has adverse effects on human health as it has 200 times more potency to bind with Hemoglobin compared to Oxygen, SO₂ when present in air reacts with water producing acid rain e.t.c.
