Answer: Option (a) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When CO_{2} is released from driving cars, some of which is absorbed by the plants but the rest of CO_{2} reacts with the sea or ocean water.

It reacts with water molecules and changes the chemistry of ocean water by lowering its pH. As it is known that when pH becomes lower then the substance becomes acidic in nature.

Thus, we can conclude that driving cars lowers the pH of the oceans by releasing CO_{2} that dissolves and forms acid in the oceans.

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

A binary covalent compound is composed of two different elements (usually nonmetals). For example, a molecule of chlorine trifluoride, ClF3 contains 1 atom of chlorine and 3 atoms of fluorine.

Rule 1. The element with the lower group number is written first in the name; the element with the higher group number is written second in the name. Exception: when the compound contains oxygen and a halogen, the name of the halogen is the first word in the name.

Rule 2. If both elements are in the same group, the element with the higher period number is written first in the name.

Rule 3. The second element in the name is named as if it were an anion, i.e., by adding the suffix -ide to the root of the element name (e.g., fluorine = F, "fluoride" = F-; sulfur = S, "sulfide" = S2-).

Rule 4. Greek prefixes are used to indicate the number of atoms of each element in the chemical formula for the compound. Exception: if the compound contains one atom of the element that is written first in the name, the prefix "mono-" is not used.

This is simple I am just confused
SOVA2 [1]

Answer:

They all have the same number of protons but different numbers of neutrons.

Explanation:

Elements will always have the same number of protons no matter the isotopes. Isotopes only change the number of neutrons. Silicon will always have 14 protons. So silicon-28 has 14 protons and 14 neutrons. Silicon-29 has 14 protons and 15 neutrons. Silicon-30 has 14 protons and 16 neutrons.

Enthalpy change depends on the rate at which a substance is heated or cooled true or false
Dahasolnce [82]
Enthalpy is a thermodynamic quantity that describes the heat content of a system, that can not be measured directly. That's why we measure change in enthaply, measured in the units joules. The statement that e<span>nthalpy change depends on the rate at which a substance is heated or cooled is false. Enthalpy change depends only on the following factors:
-</span><span>physical state of reactants and products
- quantity of reactants</span><span>
- allotropic modifications
- temperature and pressure</span><span>

Which of the following will increase the number of collisions without changing the energy of reactant molecules?
natulia [17]

Answer:increasing the concentration of reactants

Explanation:

Collision is the phenomenon in which the reactant molecules come to nearest closness,as a result the reactants are converted into products.

Now the number of effective collision is directly proportional to the number of reactants added..
