Which of these characteristics best describes a basic solution?

1 answer:

5 0

I believe the correct answer would be that it feels slippery. Being slippery or soapy is one characteristic of a base. This due to the fact that it dissolves the oils and fatty acids from the skin. Other characteristics would be that it turns litmus paper blue and has a bitter taste.

A 6.1-kg solid sphere, made of metal whose density is 2600 kg/m3, is suspended by a cord. When the sphere is immersed in a liqui

deff fn [24]

Answer:

Density of the liquid = 1470.43 kg/m³

Explanation:

Given:

Mass of solid sphere(m) = 6.1 kg

Density of the metal = 2600 kg/m³

Thus volume of the liquid :

$Volume(V)=\frac{Mass(m)}{Density (\rho)}$

Volume of the sphere = 6.1 kg/2600 kg/m³ = 0.002346 m³

The volume of water displaced is equal to the volume of sphere (Archimedes' principle)

Volume displaced = 0.002346 m³

Buoyant force = $\rho\times gV$

Where

$\rho$ is the density of the fluid

g is the acceleration due to gravity

V is the volume displaced

The free body diagram of the sphere is shown in image.

According to image:

$mg=\rho\times gV+T$

Acceleration due to gravity = 9.81 ms⁻²

Tension force = 26 N

Applying in the equation to find the density of the liquid as:

$6.1\times 9.81=\rho\times 9.81\times 0.002346+26$

$33.841=\rho\times 9.81\times 0.002346$

$\rho=\frac{33.841}{9.81\times 0.002346}$

$\rho=1470.43 kgm^3$

Thus, the density of the liquid = 1470.43 kg/m³

Given the two reactions PbCl2(aq)⇌Pb2+(aq)+2Cl−(aq), K3 = 1.89×10−10, and AgCl(aq)⇌Ag+(aq)+Cl−(aq), K4 = 1.25×10−4, what is the

Sergio [31]

Answer:

$1.2\times 10^{-2}$

Explanation:

The given reactions are:

PbCl2(aq)⇌Pb2+(aq)+2Cl−(aq) $K_3 = 1.89\times 10^{-10}$

AgCl(aq)⇌Ag+(aq)+Cl−(aq) $K_4 = 1.25\times 10^{-4}$

Required reaction is:

PbCl2(aq)+2Ag+(aq)⇌2AgCl(aq)+Pb2+(aq)

$K_f = \frac{K_3}{K_4^2}\\=\frac{1.89\times 10^{-10}}{1.25\times 10^{-4}}^2\\=1.2\times 10^{-2}$

andrew-mc [135]

Answer:

The chemical potential of 2-propanol in solution relative to that of pure 2-propanol is lower by 2.63x10⁻³.

Explanation:

The chemical potential of 2-propanol in solution relative to that of pure 2-propanol can be calculated using the following equation:

$\mu (l) = \mu ^{\circ} (l) + R*T*ln(x)$
