Answer:

Acceleration is zero.

Explanation:

The slope of a position time graph gives the velocity of the body.

If the slope is constant means the velocity is constant.

Now, acceleration is the measure of the change in velocity of a body over a given time interval.

So, the acceleration of a body is directly proportional to the change in velocity of the body.

If there is no change in velocity, this means that the acceleration of the body is zero.

Here, the slope is a constant implying that the velocity is a constant. So, there is no change in velocity. This implies that the acceleration is zero for the body in the given time interval.

Thus, if a position time graph has a constant slope, one can infer that the acceleration is zero.

According to naming rules, the types of compound that use prefixes in their names are ________.

arlik [135]

Answer:

Covalent compounds.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, when forming chemical bonds in order to form compounds, we say that if electrons are shared, covalent compounds are to be formed and they usually have subscripts that need prefixes to be named, for instance phosphorous pentachloride (PCl5), dichlorine heptoxide (Cl2O7), carbon tetrachloride (CCl4) and many others.

Regards.

What assumptions do we make in order to use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation? a. Both the weak acid and its conjugate base are

zepelin [54]

Answer:

The final and initial concentration of the acid and it's conjugate base are approximately equal, that is we use the weak acid approximation.

Explanation:

The Henderson-Hasselbalch is used to calculate the pH of a buffer solution. It depends on the weak acid approximation.

Since the weak acid ionizes only to a small extent, then we can say that [HA] ≈ [HA]i

Where [HA] = final concentration of the acid and [HA]i = initial concentration of the acid.

It also follows that [A^-] ≈ [A^-]i where [A^-] and[A^-]i refer to final and initial concentrations of the conjugate base hence the answer above.
