Answer:

Inspiration

Explanation:

This question is on application of Boyle's law; pressure is inversely proportional to volume.when we inhale air, the diaphragm and the muscles in the ribs contract thus increasing the volume in the lungs.Increased volume of the lungs cause the pressure to decrease.During exhaling, the diaphragm and muscles in the ribs relax, making the lungs to recoil and reduce in volume to force air out.Pressure in the lungs is increased than that in the environment making air to move out.

Why are some metals reactive than others?

Naddik [55]

some elements have their outer electrons more tightly bound than others. Those who have less tightly bound electrons are more reactive. After this it gets more complex in explaining why they are bound with different strengths.

Given the following information: benzoic acid = C6H5COOH hydrocyanic acid = HCN C6H5COOH is a stronger acid than HCN (1) Write t

Maurinko [17]

Answer:

The net ionic equation is

C6H5COOH+ CN-= C6H5COO- + HCN

Explanation:

From the ionic equation

C6H5COOH + Na+ + CN- = C6H5COO- + Na+ + HCN

Only sodium is the spectator ion, so it cancels out, since C6H5COOH and HCN do not ionize completely they are left undissociated
