Answer:

Explanation:

C. energy being transferred from wind

Waves are most commonly caused by wind. Wind-driven waves, or surface waves, are created by the friction between wind and surface water. As wind blows across the surface of the ocean or a lake, the continual disturbance creates a wave crest. The gravitational pull of the sun and moon on the earth also causes waves.

List three branches life<br>Science and describe what studied in each?

Mama L [17]

Answer:

First off Life sciences are anything concerned with the study of a living organisms. So ones that would be included would be, microbiology biology, botany, zoology, ecology, genetics and medicine, from what the dictionary states

Explanation:

Biology is the natural science that studies life and living organisms. Which also includes molecular interactions, including their physical structure.

Genetics, is the study of heredity and or the variation of inherited characteristics that we get from family.

Microbiology, is the branch of science which deals with microorganisms.

Let me know if this helps, if not I'll continue researching.

3. Determine the pH of each of the following solutions. (Hint: See Sample Problem B.) a. 1.0 x 10-2 M HCI c. 1.0 x 10-MHI b. 1.0

densk [106]

Answer:

a. pH = 2 b. pH = 3 c. pH = 1 d. Unanswerable

Explanation:

pH = -log[H+] OR pH = -log{H3O+]

and inversely

pOH = -log[OH-]

1. Determine what substance you are working with, (acid/base)

2. Determine whether or not that acid or base is strong or weak.

a. 1.0 x 10^-2M HCl

HCl is a strong acid, therefore it will dissociate completely into H+ and Cl- with all ions going to the H+, therefore, the concentration of HCl and concentration of H+ are going to be equal, meaning we simply take the negative logarithm of the concentration of HCl and that would equal pH

pH = -log[H+]

pH = -log(1.0x10^-2)

pH = 2

b. 1.0 x 10^-3M HNO3

HNO3 like part a, is a strong acid, therefore it would simply require you to take the negative logarithm of the concentration of the compound itself, to find its pH.

pH = -log[H+]

pH = -log(1.0 x 10^-3)

pH = 3

c. 1.0 x 10^-1M HI

Like the previous parts, HI is a strong acid

pH = -log[H+]

pH = -log(0.10)

pH = 1

d. HB isn't an element, nor is it a compound so that would be unanswerable.

What is the ph of a buffer prepared by adding 0.809 mol of the weak acid ha to 0.608 mol of naa in 2.00 l of solution? The disso

Anarel [89]

The pH of the buffer is 6.1236.

Explanation:

The strength of any acid solution can be obtained by determining their pH. Even the buffer solution strength of the weak acid can be determined using pH. As the dissociation constant is given, we can determine the pKa value as the negative log of dissociation constant value.

$pKa=-log[H] = - log [ 5.66 * 10^{-7}]\\ \\pka = 7 - log (5.66)=7-0.753=6.247\\\\pka = 6.247$
