Physical change is described as the change that affects the form of a chemical compound but not its chemical composition. It involves the change in physical properties.

When a solid is dissolved in the liquid the solid gets dissolved in the liquid there is no breakage in the bonds and same composition of the compounds are at the end of the change. When a solution changes colour due to the addition of an other substance the bonds are broken or formed between molecules or atoms. The substance with a certain set of properties is turned into different substance with different properties. Hence it is a chemical change.

Two liquids producing heat when mixed together results in the temperature change. The heat is produced due to the increase in the temperature. Hence it is a chemical change.

When two solutions are combined gas is released due to the temperature change. This is also a chemical change

Therefore the answer is A.

Describe, in terms of electrons, the difference between a calcium atom and a calcium ion

DanielleElmas [232]

The Calcium atom has 2 valence electrons but a Calcium ion will have no electrons because it is a cation ion. Meaning that there are more protons than electrons. Also, the normal calcium symbol is Ca but the calcium ion is Ca²⁺

Dominic and Eva are using the same type of stopwatches to measure the time it takes for a chemical reaction to occur. They each

SIZIF [17.4K]

They did not repeat their tests multiple times.

Reason being is using the same stopwatch doesn’t matter and changing the reactants won’t help, and you without a doubt need more than one person collecting the data so,

They did not repeat their tests multiple times is the answer.

A solution is prepared by adding 100 mL of 1.0 M HC₂H₃O₂(aq) to 100 mL of 1.0 M NaC₂H₃O₂(aq). The solution is stirred and its pH

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When an acid or base is added to a solution then any resistance by the solution in changing the pH of the solution is known as a buffer.

This is because a buffer has the ability to not get affected by the addition of small amounts of an acid or a base. As a result, it helps in maintaining the pH of the solution.

In the give case, when we add the HCl then more number of protons will dissociate. This causes the acetate to react with the protons and leads to the formation of acetic acid.

We know that acetic acid is a weak acid and it dissociates partially or feebly. Therefore, no change in pH will take place.

Thus, we can conclude that equation $H_{3}O^{+}(aq) + C_{2}H_{3}O^{-}_{2}(aq) \rightarrow HC_{2}H_{3}O_{2}(aq) + H_{2}O(l)$ represents the chemical reaction that accounts for the fact that acid was added but there was no detectable change in pH.
