Answer:
The law of definite proportions
Explanation:
The law of definite proportions states that atoms combine in a molecule in a specific molar ratio or specific stoichiometry. For example, it's proved that regardless of the quantity we take, two hydrogen atoms always combine with one oxygen atom to form a water molecule.
Similarly, ionic substances follow the same pattern. Since the net charge of ionic salts should be equal to 0 and each element has a definite number of valence electrons in its shell all the time, the ions combine in a way, so that cations balance the charge of anions.
Essentially, the law of definite proportions is applicable and will be applicable in the future, since we know that each element has a fixed number of valence electrons in its ground state.
Answer:
Volume of the sulfuric acid (25cm³), same mass of each metal (1g)
Explanation:
In an experiment, the CONTROL VARIABLE also known as constant is the variable that is kept unchanged for all groups in an experiment. This is done in order not to influence the outcome of the experiment.
In this case, students are trying to investigate the reactivity of four different metals. They added 1 g of each metal to 25cm³ of sulfuric acid and recorded the temperature change. Based on the explanation of control variable above, the VOLUME OF SULFURIC ACID (25cm³) and the MASS OF EACH METAL (1g) are the CONTROL VARIABLES because they are the same or unchanged in this experiment.
1) START counting for sig. figs. On the FIRST non-zero digit.
2) STOP counting for sig. figs. On the LAST non-zero digit.
3) Non-zero digits are ALWAYS significant.
4) Zeroes in between two non-zero digits are significant. All other zeroes are insignificant.
Answer:
Explanation:
<u>1) Data:</u>
a) Hypochlorous acid = HClO
b) [HClO} = 0.015
c) pH = 4.64
d) pKa = ?
<u>2) Strategy:</u>
With the pH calculate [H₃O⁺], then use the equilibrium equation to calculate the equilibrium constant, Ka, and finally calculate pKa from the definition.
<u>3) Solution:</u>
a) pH
b) Equilibrium equation: HClO (aq) ⇄ ClO⁻ (aq) + H₃O⁺ (aq)
c) Equilibrium constant: Ka = [ClO⁻] [H₃O⁺] / [HClO]
d) From the stoichiometry: [CLO⁻] = [H₃O⁺] = 2.29 × 10 ⁻⁵ M
e) By substitution: Ka = (2.29 × 10 ⁻⁵ M)² / 0.015M = 3.50 × 10⁻⁸ M
f) By definition: pKa = - log Ka = - log (3.50 × 10 ⁻⁸) = 7.46
Answer:
The correct option is;
B. Increase by $4 billion
Explanation:
In Gross Domestic Product, (GDP) calculation based on the spending or expenditure approach, the spending components of the countries different economic groups are calculated
The formula for the GDP can be expressed as follows;
GDP = C + G + I + NX
Where;
C = Consumer spending or private sector consumption
G = Spending by the government
I = Economic investment
NX = Net export of goods by the economy.
