It can be either they can have a negative or positive charge more specifically negatively charged molecule would called an anion and a positive one would be cation.

You have 50 ml of a complex mixture of weak acids that contains some HF (pKa = 3.18) and some HCN (pKa = 9.21). Which is larger,
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

\frac{[F^{-}]}{[HF]} is larger

Explanation:

pK_{a}=-logK_{a} , where K_{a} is the acid dissociation constant.

For a monoprotic acid e.g. HA, K_{a}=\frac{[H^{+}][A^{-}]}{[HA]} and \frac{[A^{-}]}{[HA]}=\frac{K_{a}}{[H^{+}]}

So, clearly, higher the K_{a} value , lower will the the pK_{a}

In this mixture, at equilibrium, [H^{+}] will be constant.

K_{a} of HF is grater than K_{a} of HCN

Hence, (\frac{F^{-}}{[HF]}=\frac{K_{a}(HF)}{[H^{+}]})>(\frac{CN^{-}}{[HCN]}=\frac{K_{a}(HCN)}{[H^{+}]})

So, \frac{[F^{-}]}{[HF]} is larger

A form of electricity which can attract things
qwelly [4]

 

A form of electricity which can attract things is static electricity. Static electricity is the result of an imbalance between negative and positive charges in an object. These charges built up o the surface of an object until they find a way to e released or discharged causing the attraction of things.

What is the boiling point of a solution of 76 g of water dissolved in 500 mL of acetic acid, CH3COOH?
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

127.3° C, (This is not a choice)

Explanation:

This is about the colligative property of boiling point.

ΔT = Kb . m . i

Where:

ΔT = T° boling of solution - T° boiling of pure solvent

Kb = Boiling constant

m = molal (mol/kg)

i = Van't Hoff factor (number of particles dissolved in solution)

Water is not a ionic compound, but we assume that i = 2

H₂O →  H⁺  +  OH⁻

T° boling of solution - 118.1°C =  0.52°C . m . 2

Mass of solvent =  Solvent volume / Solvent density

Mass of solvent = 500 mL / 1.049g/mL → 476.6 g

Mol of water are mass / molar mass

76 g / 18g/m = 4.22 moles

These moles are in 476.6 g

Mol / kg = molal → 4.22 m / 0.4766 kg = 8.85 m

T° boling of solution =  0.52°C . 8.85 m . 2 + 118.1°C =  127.3°C

What causes hot air to rise, and cool air to sink?
nataly862011 [7]

Answer:

hot air rises because gases expand as they heat up.When air heats up and expands,its density also increases.The warmer,less dense air effectively floats on top of the colder, dense air below it. This creates a buoyant force that causes warmer air to rise.

cold air sinks because it is heavier as its more dense ( because of closely packed molecules) soits harder for them to move and they absorb less energy. Also, gravity pulls on it more strongly.

Hope it helps :)
