Answer:

K_a=\frac{[H_3O^+][HCO_3^-]}{[H_2CO_3]}

Explanation:

Several rules should be followed to write any equilibrium expression properly. In the context of this problem, we're dealing with an aqueous equilibrium:

  • an equilibrium constant is, first of all, a fraction;
  • in the numerator of the fraction, we have a product of the concentrations of our products (right-hand side of the equation);
  • in the denominator of the fraction, we have a product of the concentrations of our reactants (left-hand side o the equation);
  • each concentration should be raised to the power of the coefficient in the balanced chemical equation;
  • only aqueous species and gases are included in the equilibrium constant, solids and liquids are omitted.

Following the guidelines, we will omit liquid water and we will include all the other species in the constant. Each coefficient in the balanced equation is '1', so no powers required. Multiply the concentrations of the two products and divide by the concentration of carbonic acid:

K_a=\frac{[H_3O^+][HCO_3^-]}{[H_2CO_3]}

What happens in the artificial transmutation of an element? Include an example.
Mice21 [21]
What happens in the artificial transmutation is that the nucleous is bombarded with high energy particles which we can describe as kinetic energy and the idea for them is to induce what we call transmutation. Also what happens is that the high energy particles are accelerated. One of the examples is when nitrogen is transformed into hydrogen by combining its nucleous with an alpha particle

A certain material has a density of 0.2 g/ml is this material good for building a bridge or for making cushions for a couch
MArishka [77]

A bridge must be made of metal or concrete or other materials that are strong enough to withstand the forces of the traffic passing over it. I doubt that the material could do that.

If the substance is a metal foam, it would make a rather hard cushion.

If the substance is too soft, it would make a cushion.

If the substance has the right combination of softness and elasticity so that it returns to its original shape when you get up, it might be a good material for a cushion.

etermine the number of valence electrons for each of the atoms. Enter each answer as a numeral. For example, if an atom has two
Sav [38]

Answer:

1. 1

2. 2

3. 6

4. 8

Explanation:

Valence electrons can be defined as the number of electrons present in the outermost shell of an atom. Valence electrons are used to determine whether an atom or group of elements found in a periodic table can bond with others. Thus, this property is typically used to determine the chemical properties of elements.

1. Li is the symbol for the chemical element known as Lithium: it has 1 valence electron. The electronic configuration of lithium is 1s²2s¹

2. Mg is the symbol for the chemical element known as Magnesium: it has 2 valence electrons. The electronic configuration of magnesium is 1s²2s²2p63s²

3. O is the symbol for the chemical element known as Oxygen: it has 6 valence electrons. The electronic configuration of magnesium is 1s²2s²2p⁴.

4. Ne is the symbol for the chemical element known as Neon: it has 8 valence electrons.

How are stars and comets different?
ehidna [41]
The answer is letter C.

Because we classify something as a star when it is: a large ball of gas that undergoes nuclear fusion. Given this definition, a comet is not a star. A comet is a ball of ice and dirt hurtling through space, it shines only because it reflects ligh
