Answer:
Can either be a solid, a liquid or a gas
Explanation:
A solvent can either be a solid, liquid or a gas. It is the carrier medium in a solution. It is the one in which the solute is dissolved.
Although quite unusual, a solvent might also be a solid. An important application of this can be seen in the production of alloys. Alloys are mixture of metals. To produce let’s say an alloy containing just two metals, the use of a solid solvent is needed. Here, one of the two metals is known as the base metal. It is this base metal that will serve as the carrier medium for the other metal
Answer: the neon gas will possess a greater kinetic energy
Explanation:
The neon gas is smaller in mass than the krypton gas. At the came temperature and pressure, the has with a lesser mass will have greater kinetic energy and move faster than the gas with a greater mass. This follows from Graham's law of diffusion in gasses.
Answer:
HF is the acid
Explanation:
The Brønsted-Lowry theory defines the acids and bases in chemistry as follows:
An acid is the species that can donate a proton
A base can accept protons.
In the reaction:
HF(aq) + NH₃(aq) → NH₄⁺(aq) + F⁻(aq)
As you can see, HF can donate its proton to produce F⁻: HF is the acid
<em>In the same way, NH₃ is accepting a proton, NH₃ is the base.</em>
Answer: Y and Z. It's D.
Explanation: W represents evaporation, which is a physical change. X represents dissolving, which is also a physical change. If X and W aren't chemical changes, then Y and Z must be if half of the choices are.
