A tree getting struck by lightning, it is an example of a physical change.

It is so because when a tree getting struck by lightning, it encountered a strong force of power but no new substance is formed here. So it is a physical change, if it is a chemical change then a new substance must formed here. So when a tree getting struck by lightning, it is an example of a physical change.

150 ml of 0.1 m naoh is added to 200 ml of 0.1 m formic acid, and water is added to give a final volume of 1 l. what is the ph o

N76 [4]

Number of moles of NaOH = V(NaOH) * M(NaOH)= 0.150 L * 0.1 moles/L = 0.015 moles

Number of moles of formic acid, HCOOH = V(HCOOH) * M(HCOOH) = 0.200 L * 0.1 moles/L = 0.020 moles

Here, the limiting reagent is NaOH

The reaction is represented as:

HCOOH + NaOH ↔HCOONa + H2O

Moles of HCOONa formed = Moles of the limiting reagent, NaOH = 0.015 moles

Moles of HCOOH remaining = 0.020-0.015 = 0.005 moles

Total final volume is given as 1 L

Therefore: [HCOOH] = 0.005 moles/1 L = 0.005 M

[HCOONa] = 0.015/1 = 0.015 M

pKa of HCOOH = 3.74

As per Henderson-Hasselbalch equation

pH = pka + log[HCOONa]/[HCOOH] = 3.74+log[0.015/0.005] = 4.22

Therefore, pH of the final solution = 4.22

Answer:

B. It would lead to an increase of global temperatures.

Explanation:

Gas burns when it is hot. Therefore the more gas that our cars consume, the hotter the air will be when the car releases those gas vapors. Causing the air to become hotter.

Thanks for your question!

The answer is science influencing technology, as it was discovered in a science experiment. It doesn't really influence society as much because it doesn't influence the way people act, just the how things work.

Hope this helped!

Answer:

History is the study of the past in all its forms. Philosophy of history examines the theoretical foundations of the practice, application, and social consequences of history and historiography. It is similar to other area studies – such as philosophy of science or philosophy of religion – in two respects.

A sample of gas is in a sealed rigid cointaner that maintains a constant volume which changes occur between the gas particles wh

sashaice [31]

In the given situation, the gas is heated under constant volume. As energy is supplied to the system in the form of heat, the frequency of collision between the gas particles increases. This increases the temperature of the gas consequently bringing about a decrease in pressure.

Based on the ideal gas law:

PV = nRT

Here, P/T = nR/V

If P1, T1 and P2, T2 are the pressure and temperature values before and after heating respectively, then since nR/V is a constant in this case, we have

P1/T1 = P2/T2 which is the Gay-Lussac's law.
