<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

C. Carbon forms strong, stable bonds with up to four other atoms, including other carbon atoms.

<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
  • <em><u>Carbon atoms can bond with many things and they have 4 valence electrons and they only need 4 more electrons to fill the outer shell. They also can form chains that are unlimited in length</u></em>.
  • The properties of carbon make it the backbone of the organic molecules which form living matter. <em><u>Carbon is a such a versatile element because it can form four covalent bonds. Also its skeletons, can vary in length, branching and ring structure.</u></em>

Like all equilibrium constants, the value of Kw depends on temperature. At body temperature (37°C), Kw = 2.4 * 10-14. What are t
Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

pH = 6.8124

Explanation:

We know pH decreases with increase in temperature.

At room temperature i.e. 25⁰c pH of pure water is equal to 7

We know

Kw = [H⁺][OH⁻]...............(1)

where Kw = water dissociation constant

At equilibrium [H⁺] = [OH⁻]

So at 37⁰c i.e body temperature Kw = 2.4 × 10⁻¹⁴

From equation (1)

[H⁺]² = 2.4 × 10⁻¹⁴

[H⁺] = √2.4 × 10⁻¹⁴

[H⁺] = 1.54 × 10⁻⁷

pH  = - log[H⁺]

      = - log{1.54 × 10⁻⁷}

      = 6.812

What is an air pressure system?
Anna35 [415]

Answer:

"The number of air molecules above a surface determines air pressure. As the number of molecules increases, they exert more pressure on a surface, and the total atmospheric pressure increases. By contrast, if the number of molecules decreases, so too does the air pressure."

Nail polish remover containing acetone was spilled in a room 7.2 m × 5.8 m × 3.9 m. Measurements indicated that 6,400 mg of acet
sergeinik [125]

Volume of room  = 7.2 m \times 5.8 m \times  3.9 m

= 162.864 m^{3}

Now, according to conversion factor, convert 6,400 mg to micrograms

Since, 1 mg is equal to 1000 microgram.

Therefore, 6,400 mg  = 6,400 \times 1000

= 6,400,000 micrograms of acetone.

To calculate concentration of acetone, divide volume and evaporated amount of acetone in micrograms.

Thus,

Concentration of acetone  = \frac{6,400,000 microgram}{162.864 m^{3}}

= 39296.5910 microgram per cubic meter or 3.92\times 10^{4} \mu g/m^{3}\simeq 4.0\times 10^{4} \mu g/m^{3}

Hence, concentration of acetone is equal to 4.0\times 10^{4} \mu g/m^{3}
