Answer:

Option (C)

Explanation:

The O horizon is the top layer of the soil, which occurs as both thick and thin soil at different places, and it is absent in certain places. It is comprised of organic matter which mainly includes the decomposed leaves and also sometimes, the dead remains of animals are also found which enhances the quality of the soil. This layer is also known as the humus or organic layer.

Thus, the correct answer is option (C).

2C + O2 = 2CO is balanced.

If you look you can see the first side has 2 Cs and 2 Os, and the other side has the same amount, just put together making both sides even and balanced.

What happens to the conductivity of water when a base is dissolved in it.

Anuta_ua [19.1K]

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

The conductivity of water refers to how much it conducts electricity. The electrical conductivity of water increases as more ions are dissolved in it.

Hence, increase in concentration of dissolved ions improves the electrical conductivity of water.

Therefore, when a base (which is an ionic substance) is dissolved in water, the concentration of ions present increases and the conductivity of the solution increases accordingly since ions are charge carriers in solution.

Find how many milliliters of NaOH should be used to reach the half-equivalence point during the titration of 20.00 mL 0.888 M bu

Varvara68 [4.7K]

<u>Answer:</u> The volume of NaOH solution required to reach the half-equivalence point is 0.09 mL

<u>Explanation:</u>

The chemical equation for the dissociation of butanoic acid follows:

$CH_3CH_2CH_2COOH\rightleftharpoons CH_3CH_2CH_2COO^-+H^+$

The expression of $K_a$ for above equation follows:

$K_a=\frac{[CH_3CH_2CH_2COO^-][H^+]}{[CH_3CH_2CH_2COOH]}$

We are given:

$[CH_3CH_2CH_2COOH]=0.888M\\K_a=1.54\times 10^{-5}$

$[CH_3CH_2CH_2COO^-]=[H^+]$

Putting values in above expression, we get:

$1.54\times 10^{-5}=\frac{[H^+]^2}{0.888}$

$[H^+]=-0.0037,0.0037$

Neglecting the negative value because concentration cannot be negative

To calculate the volume of base, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

$n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2$

where,

$n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is butanoic acid

$n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is NaOH.

We are given:

$n_1=1\\M_1=\frac{0.0037}{2}M\text{ (half equivalence)}\\V_1=20.00mL\\n_2=1\\M_2=0.425M\\V_2=?mL$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1\times \frac{0.0037}{2}\times 20.00=1\times 0.425\times V_2\\\\V_2=\frac{1\times 0.0037\times 20}{1\times 0.425\times 2}=0.087mL$

Hence, the volume of NaOH solution required to reach the half-equivalence point is 0.09 mL

If the reactants of wood when burning weigh 10 kgs, how much will the products weigh?

aksik [14]

Answer:

the weight of products is is equal the weight of the wood plus the weight of oxygen that was used to burn that wood, so weigh of the product is greater than 10 kilograms.

Explanation:

Conservation of mass (mass is never lost or gained in chemical reactions), during chemical reaction no particles are created or destroyed, the atoms are rearranged from the reactants to the products.

In this example wood (mostly carbon) and oxygen are reactants and carbon dioxide (mostly) is product of reaction.
