<span>All acids form their conjugate base and a proton or H+ in an aqueous solution, in water. Since formic acid is an acid, although a weak electrolyte, it will react with water to form the conjugate base HCOO with a negative 1 charge. The other solute will be the proton H+, also written as hydronium H3O+.</span>

What causes adaptions to occur ?
Nady [450]

Factors that influence general adaptation syndrome include that of a person’s health, nutrition, sex, ages, race, socioeconomic status, and genetics. These are factors that are either can precipitate a different reaction, while others are modifiable and unmodifiable traits.

In biology, adaptation has 3 related meanings. Firstly, it is the dynamic evolutionary process that fits organisms to their environment, enhancing their evolutionary fitness. Secondly, it is a state reached by the population during that process. Thirdly, it is a phenotypic trait or adaptive trait, with a functional role in each organism, that is maintained and has evolved through natural selection.  Historically, adaptation has been described from the time of the ancient Greek philosophers such as Empedocles and Aristotle. In 18th and 19th century natural theology, adaptation was taken as evidence for the existence of a deity. Charles Darwin proposed instead that it was explained by natural selection.  Adaptation is related to biological fitness, which governs the rate of evolution as measured by a change in gene frequencies. Often, two or more species co-adapt and co-evolve as they develop adaptations that interlock with those of the other species, such as with flowering plants and pollinating insects. In mimicry, species evolve to resemble other species; in Müllerian mimicry, this is a mutually beneficial co-evolution as each of a group of strongly defended species (such as wasps able to sting) come to advertise their defenses in the same way. Features evolved for one purpose may be co-opted for a different one, as when the insulating feathers of dinosaurs were co-opted for bird flight.  Adaptation is a major topic in the philosophy of biology, as it concerns function and purpose (teleology). Some biologists try to avoid terms that imply purpose in adaptation, not least because it suggests a deity's intentions, but others note that adaptation is necessarily purposeful.

Calcium chloride, CaCl2, is commonly used as an electrolyte in sports drinks and other beverages, including bottled water. A sol
zhannawk [14.2K]

Answer:

Mole percent of CaCl_{2} in solution is 1.71%

Explanation:

Number of moles of a compound is the ratio of mass to molar mass of the compound.

Molar mass of CaCl_{2} = 110.98 g/mol

Molar mass of H_{2}O = 18.02 g/mol

Density is the ratio of mass to volume

So, mass of 60.0 mL of water = (60\times 0.997)g=60.8g

Hence, 6.50 g of CaCl_{2} = \frac{6.50}{110.98}moles of CaCl_{2} = 0.0586 moles of CaCl_{2}

60.8 g of H_{2}O= \frac{60.8}{18.02}moles of H_{2}O = 3.37 moles of H_{2}O

So, mole percent of CaCl_{2} in solution = \frac{n_{CaCl_{2}}}{n_{total}}\times 100% = \frac{0.0586}{0.0586+3.37}\times 100% = 1.71%

He approximate molar concentration of several chemicals are given. find the ph of each. use the calculator and round to the near
Alex17521 [72]
The quantity pH stands for the negative logarithm of the H⁺ ions concentration in a solution. In equation form, pH = -log[H⁺], where [H⁺] is the concentration of hydrogen ion in molarity or moles/liter. Using this definition, the pH of the following substances are:

Oven Cleaner: pH =-log(10⁻¹³ M) = 13
Water: pH = -log(<span>0.0000007 M) = 6.15
Blood: pH = -log(</span><span>0.00000004 M) = 7.40
Vinegar: pH = -log(</span><span> 0.0063 M) = 2.2

The measure of the pH is important when it comes to reactions because pH is a strong factor. The net charge of a substance is a result of its pH. This charge is the basis of the degree of intermolecular forces like electrostatic attraction due to difference of charges by the substance and its substrate.</span>
