The chemical formula does not show how the atoms are connected to one another.
When we write the chemical formula of any substance, we are not able to understand the spatial arrangement of that substance's atoms. This is extremely important in organic compounds, which exhibit different physical characteristics as well as different chemical characteristics due to the way their atoms are arranged in space. These isomers are known as enantiomers.

Ugo [173]

Answer:

(A) HNO_{3} Solubility will increase.

(B) NaOH Solubility will decrease.

(C) Ca(NO_{3} )_{2} Solubility will decrease.

Explanation:

a) According to Le Chatelier's Principle when a change is introduced in a reaction system at equilibrium, the system responds by the reaction shifting in the direction to counter the change introduced.

When the change introduced is addition of acid, some OH^{-} are consumed due to it and the system would respond by reaction shifting towards creation of more OH^{-} in the system by increased dissolution. Thus solubility increase.

(b) When OH^{-} are added, the reaction shifts to counter the change introduced of increased OH^{-} by shifting to side that decreases the increased OH^{-}. That happens by reaction shifting towards some Ca (OH)_{2} precipitating back. Hence solubility decreases.

(c) The change introduced is addition of Ca^{2+} which will be countered by reaction shifting to side that decreases increased Ca ^{2+}, which happens by some Ca(OH)_{2} precipitating back. Hence solubility decreases.

A silver block, initially at 55.6∘C, is submerged into 100.0 g of water at 24.5∘C in an insulated container. The final temperatu
s344n2d4d5 [400]

Answer:

m_{Ag} = 175.987\,g

Explanation:

The First Law of Thermodynamics helps to determine the mass of the silver block:

m_{Ag}\cdot \left(0.235\,\frac{J}{g\cdot ^{\textdegree}C} \right)\cdot (55.6^{\textdegree}-27.3^{\textdegree}C) = (100\,g)\cdot \left(4.18\,\frac{J}{g\cdot ^{\textdegree}C} \right)\cdot (27.3^{\textdegree}C-24.5^{\textdegree}C)

The mass of the silver block is:

m_{Ag} = 175.987\,g

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

Inherited behaviors are behaviors that are passed down genetically. Our genes control things like our hair type and color, our eye color, and our height—but we don't usually think of them controlling our behavior
