Answer:

B. Household ammonia.

Explanation:

NH₃ is a base, so the solution always will be basic.

NH₃ takes the proton from the water. In conclusion we have free OH⁻ in medium, that's why the solution is basic.

NH₃ + H₂O → NH₄⁺ + OH⁻

- HCl + H₂O → H₃O⁺ + Cl⁻

This reaction makes an acid solution, cause the H₃O⁺

- Vinegar is a compound made of acetic acid.

CH₃COOH + H₂O ⇄ H₃O⁺ + CH₃COO⁻

This reaction also makes an acid solution, cause the H₃O⁺

- Pure water makes neutral solution. It is not acid, neither basic.

2H₂O ⇄ H₃O⁺ + OH⁻

The two naturally occurring isotopes of antimony, 121Sb (57.21 percent) and 123Sb (42.79 percent), have masses of 120.904 and 12

Alex

Answer:

The correct answer is option c.

Explanation:

Formula used to determine an average atomic mass :

$\text{Average atomic mass }=\sum_{i=1}^n\text{(Atomic mass of an isotopes)}_i\times \text{(Fractional abundance})_i$

Mass of isotope Sb-121 = 120.904 amu

Fractional abundance of Sb-121 = 57.21% = 0.5721

Mass of isotope Sb-123 = 122.904 amu

Fractional abundance of Sb-123 = 42.79% = 0.4279

Average atomic mass of Sb:

$120.904 amu\times 0.5721+ 122.904 amu\times 0.4279=121.7598 amu \approx 121.76 amu$

Refer to the Chemical Compounds table above. How many total elements are in Ethanol?

Korolek [52]

Answer:

3 element i.e carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen.

Explanation:

The following data were obtained from the question:

Subtance >>>>>>>> Chemical Formula

Glucose >>>>>>>>> C₆H₁₂O₆

Methane >>>>>>>> CH₄

Ethanol >>>>>>>>> C₂H₅OH

Hydrogen peroxide >> H₂O₂

From the above table, we can see that ethanol (C₂H₅OH) contains carbon (C), hydrogen (H) and oxygen

Therefore, the total number of elements present in ethanol, C₂H₅OH is 3.

Answer/Explanation

Characteristics of Life Present in Viruses:

has a defined boundary - viruses are made up simply of genetic material surrounded by a protein capsid and sometimes a lipid membrane

Characteristics of Life Absent in Viruses:

made up of one or more cells - one of the main arguments for why viruses are not living is that they are not cellular
uses energy - this is a tricky one. They don't use or produce their own energy. However, in order to reproduce they do hijack the host cells and steal energy from them in order to reproduce
exhibits growth and development - although viruses do reproduce, the individual viral particles do not exhibit growth or development
possess internal organisation - other than the fact they ahve genetic material, the inside of a virus does not contain internal organization like a cytosol, instead conssiting of the bare minimum amount of proteins to survive
eliminates waste - since they do not have their own metabolism, they have no waste to eliminate

Determine the ph of a 0.18 m h2co3 solution. carbonic acid is a diprotic acid whose ka1 = 4.3 × 10-7 and ka2 = 5.6 × 10-11. dete

oee [108]

Answer is: ph value is 3.56.
Chemical reaction 1: H₂CO₃(aq) ⇄ HCO₃⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq); Ka₁ = 4,3·10⁻⁷.
Chemical reaction 2: HCO₃⁻(aq) ⇄ CO₃²⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq); Ka₂ = 5,6·10⁻¹¹.
c(H₂CO₃) = 0,18 M.
[HCO₃⁻] = [H⁺] = x.
[H₂CO₃] = 0,18 M - x.
Ka₁ = [HCO₃⁻] · [H⁺] / [H₂CO₃].
4,3·10⁻⁷ = x² / (0,18 M -x).
Solve quadratic equation: x = [H⁺] =0,000293 M.
pH = -log[H⁺] = -log(0,000293 M).
pH = 3,56; second Ka do not contributes pH value a lot.
