Answer:

(a) A strong acid has a greater tendency to lose its protons.

(b) A strong acid has a higher Ka than a weak acid.

(c) A strong acid has a lower pKa than a weak acid.

Explanation:

A strong acid has the ability to completely transfer their protons to the water, making a complete dissociation. Instead, a weak acid only dissociates partially, how much it dissociates depends on the acid dissociation constant (Ka).

The weak acids always are in equilibrium, and the equilibrium depends on the acid dissociation constant.

HA + H_{2}O ⇄ A^{-} + H_{3}O^{+}

Thus, a stronger acid with a bigger Ka produces more dissociation and a higher concentration of protons.

The equation that defines pKa is:

pKa = -Log (Ka)

Therefore, a higher pKa means a lower Ka and also a weaker acid.

Classify the following mixtures as a 'heterogeneous' or as a 'homogeneous' substance. gasoline [ Select ] soil [ Select ] cranbe
Savatey [412]

The answer is- Gasoline - homogeneous, Soil- heterogeneous, Cranberry juice - homogeneous and Salt water-homogeneous.

Mixture: The substance that has two or more elements or compounds mixed together without binding them chemically is known as mixture.

The constituents of mixture can be separated by various methods.

What are homogeneous and heterogeneous mixture?

  • Homogeneous mixtures- Homogeneous mixtures are those that have same composition throughout its mass and there are no visible boundaries between its components.
  • Heterogeneous mixtures- When solute particles are not mixed uniformly in the solvent particles, then a heterogenous mixture is obtained.
  • Gasoline: It is a homogeneous mixture of various hydrocarbons.
  • Soil: Soil is a heterogenous mixture and its various components can be seen clearly.
  • Cranberry juice: It is also a homogeneous mixture as cranberry and water are mixed uniformly.
  • Salt water is also a homogeneous mixture as salt and water are mixed uniformly.

Matter is the substance that we can see and observe.<br><br> True<br> False
SSSSS [86.1K]
I'd say true. 
Matter is a physical substance that occupies space.
Lets say you put random stuff in a box. That stuff is matter, filling the box.
Its common to say that matter is everything around you. You can see everything around you (almost).

Answer:

1. A

2. B

Explanation:

1. Most of the answers don't make that much sense, so using process of elimination I resulted in this answer. I recommend you also try to check with others.

2. This question also was pretty confusing but when using process of elimination I resulted in either A or B. To me B makes more sense.

The eu(iii) standards added to the groundwater sample contained 0.168 ng/ml (ppb) of eu(iii). calculate the concentration of eu(
Andre45 [30]
The standard addition equation is as followsI_(S+X) (V/V_O )=I_X+I_X/[X]_i  [S]_4 (V_S/V_0 ) Here, [X]_i is the initial concentration of analyte, [S]_i is the initial concentration of standard, I_X is signal for analyte, I_(S+X) is signal for standard and analyte, V_0 is the initial volume, V_S is the added standard volume, and V is the total volume.Added volume of standard V_S is-23.3 mL. Initial volume of the sample V_0  is 10.00 mL. Initial concentration of standard ([S]_i) is 0.156 ng/mL.[X]_i= -[S]_i (V_S/V_0 )〖[X]〗_(i )= -(0.156 ng/mL)((-23.3 mL)/(10.00 mL))=0.363 ng/mL
Concentration of U(III) in ground sample is 0.363 ng/mL

If an element has 2 fewer protons than boron, what is its electron configuration?
REY [17]
So boron has an electronic configuration of 1S2 2S2 2P1 and the element with an atomic number of 3 is Lithium which has an electronic configuration of 1S2 2S1.

So the answer is 1S2 2S1.
