Answer is: C. The salt and the water have both undergone physical changes.

The salt and the water make a homogeneous mixture (the same proportions of its components throughout any given sample).

A physical change occurs when a substance changes phase.

Boiling is a physical change (process), the same substance is present before and after the change, so chemical bonds and melting point of the substance are not changed.

Chemical change is when new substances are formed, the atoms are rearranged and the reaction is followed by an energy change.

The answer would be C.

The salt and the water have both undergone physical changes.

Hope this helps!

A species that is isoelectronic with the nitrate ion and hence would have the same shape is [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] sulphur trioxide

Bumek [7]

Answer:

[1] sulphur trioxide

Explanation:

Isoelectronic species have the same number of valence electrons.

Valence electrons in nitrate (NO₃⁻):

5e- (N) + (3 x 6e-)(3xO) + 1e- (charge) = 24e-

Valence electrons in sulphur trioxide (SO₃):

6e- (S) + (3 x 6e-)(3xO) = 24e-

Valence electrons in sulphite (SO₃²⁻):

6e- (S) + (3 x 6e-)(3xO) + 2e- (charge) = 26e-

Valence electrons in phosphine (PH₃):

5e- (P) + (3 x 1e-)(3xH) = 8e-

Valence electrons in water (H₂O):

6e- (O) + (2 x 1e-)(2xH) = 8e-

Valence electrons in chlorite (ClO₂⁻):

7e- (Cl⁻) + (2 x 6e-)(2xO) + 1e- (charge) = 20e-

The only species isoelectronic with nitrate is sulphur trioxide. Both have trigonal planar geoemetry.

1. In an equilibrium experiment, acetic acid (which is a weak acid) is mixed with sodium acetate (a soluble salt), with methyl o

koban [17]

Explanation:

It is known that acetic acid is a weak acid. It's equilibrium of dissociation will be represented as follows.

$CH_{3}COOH(aq) + H_{2}O(l) \rightleftharpoons CH_{3}COO^{-}(aq) + H_{3}O^{+}(aq)$

On the other hand, sodium acetate ( $CH_{3}COONa$ ) is a salt of weak acid, that is, $CH_{3}COOH$ and strong base, that is, NaOH. Therefore, aqueous solution of sodium acetate will be basic in nature.

Since, acetic acid is a weak acid but still it is an acid. So, when methyl orange is added in a solution of acetic acid then it given a reddish-orange color because of its acidity.

When sodium acetate is mixed into this solution then it will dissociate as follows.

$CH_{3}COO^{-}Na^{+}(aq) \rightleftharpoons CH_{3}COO^{-}(aq) + Na^{+}(aq)$

As both solutions are liberating acetate ion upon dissociation. Hence, it is the common ion.

So, when more acetate ions will increase from dissociation of sodium acetate the according to Le Chatelier's principle the equilibrium will shift on left side.

As a result, there will be decrease in the concentration of hydronium ions. As a result, there will be increase in the pH of the system.

Hence, color of methyl orange will change from reddish orange to yellow. This shift in equilibrium is due to the common ion which is $CH_{3}COO^{-}$ ion.

What is the scientific term for the curved shape that results? guatured cyclinder

AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

Curvature

Explanation:

In mathematics, curvature is any of several strongly related concepts in geometry. Intuitively, the curvature is the amount by which a curve deviates from being a straight line, or a surface deviates from being a plane. For curves, the canonical example is that of a circle, which has a curvature ... For being meaningful, the definition of the curvature and its different
