PH = -log10 [H+]. So anwer 2 pH
Answer: Undecane, C11H24 is a liquid hydrocarbon from the alkane homologue ( family ).
Explanation:
All hydrocarbons burn in air to release H20 and CO2.
Combustion of hydrocarbons thus increases the percentage of CO2 present in the atmosphere which is not so good as CO2 is a greenhouse gas. Greenhouse gases produce the greenhouse effect. The green house effect is the warming effect produced when gases present in the atmosphere allow and retain the radiation from the sun to the earth. Examples of greenhouse gases are CO2, CH4, SO3, NO, CFCs. The greenhouse effect leads to an increase in the temperature of the earth subsequently leading to (I) melting of large amounts of ice at the poles causing flooding. (II) rapid evaporation of water from Earth’s surface. (III) decrease in crop yield.
Also, high concentration CFCs ( chlorofluorocarbons ), as widely used in aerosols, coolants and packaging foams, in the atmosphere depletes the ozone layer leading to global warming. In 1996 an international agreement was reached for a complete ban of CFCs and more countries are now going Green ( using alternative energy sources ) so as to minimize emissions of these greenhouse gases
<span>No. Zn can only have oxidation states of 1+ or 2+. For this compound to be able to exist, the Zn would have to have an oxidation state of 2- to counteract the 2+ from the 2 sodium ions. Sodium ions each have a +1 charge, so the 2 sodium ions would carry a +2 charge. In order for the compound to exist, the net charge between the 2 sodium and 1 zinc atoms would need to be 0.</span>
Answer: D. A buildup of mostly methane gas, which is pontentially explosive.
Explanation:
Firedamp refers to a gas mixture, largely methane, that appear in underground coal mines. It is explosive at concentrations between 5 and 10% in the air.
