Water is A. Acidic B. Basic C. Neutral

1 answer:

8 0

Water acts as an acid (donates H+) when it reacts with a stronger base, say sodium hydroxide. Water acts as a base (accepts H+) when it reacts with a stronger acid, say hydrochloric acid. If the medium is water, water, having a pH of 7, is considered neutral.

An empty beaker weighs 25.91 g. When completely filled with water, the beaker and its contents have a total mass of 333.85 g. Wh

Finger [1]

Answer:

The beaker holds 307.94 mL

Explanation:

As we know that the volume that beaker hold is the volume of water that occupied by it.

For this first we have to find mass of the water in the beaker

This can be calculated by the subtraction of beaker's weight from the weight of beaker and water.

weight of water (m) = total weight - weight of beaker

Empty weight of beaker = 25.91 g

Weight of beaker with water = 333.85 g

Weight of water = 333.85 - 25.91 = 307.94 g

Density of water = 1 g/mL

We have

Mass = Volume x density

307.94 = Volume x 1

Volume = 307.94 mL

The beaker holds 307.94 mL

What is the ph of the benzoic acid solution prior to adding sodium benzoate?

Reika [66]

The acid dissociation constant of benzoic acid is 6.5 x 10^-5. Therefore, the pH of the benzoic acid solution prior to adding sodium benzoate is:

pH = -log[Ka]
pH = -log (6.5 x 10^-5)
pH = 4.19

The pH of the benzoic acid solution is 4.19 which is acidic, but a weak acid.

In 1939, the use of DDT (a powerful synthetic chemical) as an insecticide was discovered. The United States adopted its widespre

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Main advantages of DDT are the insecticide property and the knoledge about its chemical synthesis.

Explanation:

At that time in 1939 it was discovered that DDT have insecticide properties. It is a useful property because it allows inhibition of insects populations in large areas. Killing insects will reduce the diseases transmitted by them as typhus and malaria. More over you prevent the destruction of the agricultural crops by the harmful insects.

However the synthesis of the molecule was known way back in 1874. From that time it was plenty of time in which chemistry knowledge evolved so the synthesis at kilograms scale was implemented. High quantities of DDT molecule become available for the market so that in 1945 was available as agricultural insecticide.

It was discovered that DDT have bad effects for human health and also over time some insects developed resistance and their were not affected anymore by the molecule.

You may find the chemical structure of DDT in the attached figure.
