HBr is a strong acid

False

Answer:

The given statement is false.

Explanation:

Hydrogen bromide when dissolves in water it gives hydronium ions and bromide ions.The hydronium ions is due to association of hydrogen ion with water molecule.This means that hydrogen bromide is an acid.

$HBr+H_2O\rightarrow H_3O^++Br^-$

Where as bases are those compounds which free hydroxide ion sin their aqueous solutions.

$BOH\rightarrow B^++OH^$

So, from this we concluded that HBr is not a base but an acid.

15. What volume of CCI, (d = 1.6 g/cc) contain

anastassius [24]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{(3) 9.6 L}}$

Explanation:

1. Moles of CCl₄

$n = 6.02 \times 10^{25} \text{ molecules} \times \dfrac{\text{1 mol}}{6.022 \times 10^{23}\text{ molecules}} = \text{100.0 mol}$

2. Molar mass of CCl₄

MM = 1 × 12.01 + 4 × 35.5 = 12.01 + 142 = 154.0 g/mol

3. Mass of CCl₄

$m =\text{100.0 mol} \times \dfrac{\text{154.0 g}}{\text{1 mol}} = \text{15 400 g}$

4. Volume of CCl₄

$V = \text{15 400 g} \times \dfrac{\text{1 cm}^{3}}{\text{1.6 g}} = \text{9600 cm}^{3}\\\\V = \text{9600 cm}^{3} \times \dfrac{\text{1 L}}{\text{1000 cm}^{3}} = \mathbf{{9.6 L}}\\\\\text{The volume of CCl$_{4}$ is } \boxed{\textbf{9.6 L}}$

How does water affect the growth of a plant?

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

Water transports important nutrients throughout the plant.

Explanation:

Much like blood in an animal, water is necessary for a plants survival, as it transports important nutrients from the soil all through the plant's stems and leaves.

Calculate the mass of water vapour present in a room of volume 400 m3 that contains air at 27 °C on a day when the relative humi

Alex73 [517]

Answer:

Mass of water = 6251. 706g or 6.25Kg

Explanation:

Relative humidity = (actual vapor pressure/saturation vapor pressure) * 100%

Actual vapor pressure, Pw = relative humidity * saturation vapor pressure

Pw = 60% * (35.6 *0.001)atm = 0.0216atm

Note: 1mbar = 0.001atm

Using the ideal gas equation: PV=nRT; where P = Pw= 0.02136atm, V= (400

* 1000)dm^3, R= 0.082 atmdm^3/kmol, T= (27+273)K, n = number of moles

Note: 1m^3 = 1000dm^3,R is the molar gas constant.

Making n subject of the formula, n = PV/RT

n= (0.02136 * 400000)/(0.082 * 300) = 347.317 moles

Mass (g) = number of moles (n) * molar mass

molar mass of water=18g

Mass of water = 347.317 * 18 = 6251. 706g or 6.25Kg

An element has an atomic number of 30. How many protons and electrons are in a neutral atom of the element? A. 30 protons, 30 el

Minchanka [31]

Atomic number shows the number of protons in an atom's nucleus. If the atomic number is 30, then it has 30 protons. The question says it is neutral, so it must have the same amount of protons and electrons.

A is the correct answer based on this.
