Answer:

Hello, the above question is not complete, nonetheless let us check somethings out.

Explanation:

Paleothermometer definition is from two words, that is "Paleo" which means something that is old and ''thermometer" which is an instrument for measuring temperature. So, if we add this up, Paleothermometer is an instrument for measuring "old" temperature, that is temperature. One of the Paleothermometer that is been used is the δ18O which is the one in the question that has isotopic ratio of 18O/16O, and it deals with the measurement of 18O to 16O. The others include Alkenones Paleothermometer, Mg/Ca Paleothermometer, Leaf physiognomy and so on.

If the values of the isotopic ratio that is 18O/16O ratio is low, then the temperature is high. To Calculate the 18O/16O ratio for ancient ocean then we will be using the equation below;

δ18O = (z - 1) × 1000. Where z= [(18O/16O)/( 18O/16O)sm. And sm= standard mean.

Given the equation representing a reversible reaction:
tester [92]

Answer:

- Acetic acid (CH₃COOH) and hydronium ion (H₃O⁺)

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, based on the acid-base theory which states that acids are known as H⁺ donors, if we consider the direct reaction:

CH_3COOH(aq) + H_2O \rightarrow CH_3COO^-(aq) + H_3O^+(aq)

It is clear that the acetic acid is the first H⁺ donor as it losses one H⁺ to turn into the acetate ion. Moreover, if we consider the inverse reaction:

CH_3COO^-(aq) + H_3O^+(aq)\rightarrow CH_3COOH(aq) + H_2O

It is also clear that the hydronium ion is the second H⁺ donor as it losses one H⁺ to turn into water.

Best regards.
