The correct answer is A. A buffer is a substance that resists small change in the acidity of a solution when an acid or base is added to the solution. Usually, a buffer involves a weak acid or a weak alkali and one of its salt.

Which statement is true concerning the elements in families 1 and 2?
jeka57 [31]

Answer:

The correct option is;

D. All the elements in families 1 and 2 can place all their shell electrons in the s sub-level

Explanation:

The elements in families 1 and 2 also called the group 1A and group 2A elements are known as the alkali and alkaline earth metals. The elements in the families 1 and 2 are also referred to as the s-block elements as they have their valence electrons which are 1 and 2 respectively, in the s-orbital or s sub-level

Due to their low ionization energy, and the ease with which they donate their valence electrons, elements of the families 1 and 2 are known to be very reactive, and are found in a combined state in nature.

Explain how hydrogen bonding contributes to water's high heat of vaporization
pashok25 [27]

The heat/enthalpy of vaporization of water represents the energy input required to convert one mole of water into vapor at a constant temperature. Intermolecular forces including hydrogen bondings of significant strength hold water molecules in place under its liquid state. Whereas the molecules experience almost no intermolecular interactions under the gaseous state- consider the way noble gases molecules interact. It is thus necessary to supply sufficient energy to overcome all intermolecular interactions present in the substance under its liquid state to convert the substance into a gas. The heat of vaporization is thus related to the strength of the intermolecular interactions.

Water molecules contain hydrogen atoms bonded directly to oxygen atoms. Oxygen atoms are highly electronegative and take major control of electrons in hydrogen-oxygen bonds. Hydrogen atoms in water molecules thus experience a strong partial-positive charge and would attract lone pairs of electron on neighboring water molecules. "Hydrogen bonds" refer to the attraction between hydrogen atoms bonded to electronegative elements and lone pairs of electrons. The hydrogen-oxygen bonds in water molecules are so polarized that hydrogen bonds in water are stronger than both dipole-dipole interactions and London Dispersion Forces in most other molecules. It thus take high amounts of energy to separate water molecules sufficiently apart such that they no longer experience intermolecular interactions and behave collectively like a gas. As a result, water has one of the highest heat of vaporization among covalent molecules of similar sizes.

If you have nitrate and carbon oxygen what can that combine with to make
WARRIOR [948]

Answer: Gunpowder

Explanation:

Gunpowder is made by mixing potassium nitrate with two fuels (atoms that can combine with oxygen atoms and release energy), carbon (charcoal) and sulfur. The oxygen atoms leave the nitrates and move onto the carbon and sulfur atoms, releasing a buttload of energy.
