Answer : The incorrect statements are:

(A) When two nonmetals react, the compound formed is ionic.

(B) Two nonmetals can undergo an oxidation-reduction reaction.

Explanation :

Covalent compound : It is defined as the compound which is formed by the sharing of electrons between the atoms forming a compound.

The covalent compound are usually formed when two non-metals react.

The two nonmetals can not undergo an oxidation-reduction reaction.

Ionic compound : It is defined as the compound which is formed when electron gets transferred from one atom to another atom.

Ionic compound are usually formed when a metal reacts with a non-metal.

The metal-nonmetal reaction can always be assumed to be an oxidation-reduction reaction.

For example : $2Na(s)+Cl_2(g)\rightarrow 2NaCl(s)$

In this reaction, sodium shows oxidation because the oxidation state changes from (0) to (+1) and and chlorine shows reduction because the oxidation state changes from (0) to (-1).

Hence, the incorrect statements are, (A) and (B)

Conduction happens as energy flows from a warmer object to a cooler object. Which of the following is evidence of conduction?

Dmitrij [34]

Explanation:

Conduction is a form of heat transfer between one body and another. It usually occurs when a warmer object is in contact with a cooler one. Heat generally flows from a region of high temperature to a place at a lower temperature.

Conduction is very pronounced in solid bodies.
The heat transfer causes a net transfer of the average kinetic energy of one body to the other.
Some examples are: heating of iron by a hotter metallic body, the pot hand getting hotter as cooking continues, cooling of ice by touching it.

Which statement explains why water is classified

hichkok12 [17]

Answer: Option (1) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Compounds are the substances which contain two or more different elements.

Similarly, water is a compound as it is made up when two hydrogen atoms combine with one oxygen atom. Compounds can be broken down with the help of chemical reactions.

Hence, the statement water can be broken down by chemical means explains why water is classified as a compound.

You need to produce a buffer solution that has a pH of 5.50. You already have a solution that contains 10 mmol (millimoles) of a

balandron [24]

Answer:

56.9 mmoles of acetate are required in this buffer

Explanation:

To solve this, we can think in the Henderson Hasselbach equation:

pH = pKa + log ([CH₃COO⁻] / [CH₃COOH])

To make the buffer we know:

CH₃COOH + H₂O ⇄ CH₃COO⁻ + H₃O⁺ Ka

We know that Ka from acetic acid is: 1.8×10⁻⁵

pKa = - log Ka

pKa = 4.74

We replace data:

5.5 = 4.74 + log ([acetate] / 10 mmol)

5.5 - 4.74 = log ([acetate] / 10 mmol)

0.755 = log ([acetate] / 10 mmol)

10⁰'⁷⁵⁵ = ([acetate] / 10 mmol)

5.69 = ([acetate] / 10 mmol)

5.69 . 10 = [acetate] → 56.9 mmoles
