Answer:

The correct answer is c. the acetate ion acts as a Bronsted-Lowry base in a reaction with water.

Explanation:

Sodium acetate (NaCH₃COO) dissociates in water to give Na⁺ and CH₃COO⁻ ions as follows:

NaCH₃COO(s) → Na⁺(aq) + CH₃COO⁻(aq)

The acetate ion (CH₃COO⁻) is the conjugated base of acetic acid (CH₃COOH). Acetic acid is a weak acid, so the acetate ion will try to regenerate the weak acid. For this, it will acept a proton (acting as a Bronsted-Lowry base) from water to form acetic acid. As result, OH⁻ is released and the solution turns basic:

CH₃COO⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ CH₃COOH(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

Which factor most likely facilitates mass movement after heavy rains in a dry region?
melomori [17]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The process in which sediment moves downhill is known as mass movement.

Different types of mass movement are landslides, mud slides, slump, creep etc.

Mud flow contains mass of saturated rock particles of all sizes. Mud flow arises due to sudden flood of water or due to heavy rain in a dry region (semi-arid region). Soil and rocks from a large slope area flow along with the flood water and gets washed to a gulch or canyon.

As a result, debris and water moves down canyon and lay out on the gentle slopes below.

Thus, we can conclude that mud flow is most likely facilitates mass movement after heavy rains in a dry region.

When metals, non metals,and metallics are composed according to luster, which is best description of the appearance of metalloid
Nitella [24]

Answer:

Metalloids are metallic-looking brittle solids that are either semiconductors or exist in semiconducting forms, and have amphoteric or weakly acidic oxides. Typical nonmetals have a dull, coloured or colourless appearance; are brittle when solid; are poor conductors of heat and electricity; and have acidic oxides.
