Answer:

H₂SO₄

Explanation:

A Brønsted acid is a proton donor. It loses protons.

This equation may be easier to understand if we write it ionically.

$\underbrace{\hbox{H$_{2}$SO$_{4}$}}_{\hbox{Br$\o{}$nsted acid}} + 2 \text{NH}_{3} \longrightarrow \, \underbrace{\hbox{SO$_{4}^{2-}$}}_{\hbox{Br$\o{}$nsted base}} + \text{2 NH}_{4}^{+}$

We see that the H₂SO₄ has lost two protons to become SO₄²⁻, so it is a Brønsted acid.

If the molecule could move upward without colliding with other molecules, then how high would it go before coming to rest? Give

tankabanditka [31]

The maximum height at which nitrogen molecule will go before coming to rest is 14 kilometers.

Given:

The nitrogen gas molecule with a temperature of 330 Kelvins is released from Earth's surface to travel upward.

To find:

The maximum height of a nitrogen molecule when released from the Earth's surface before coming to rest.

Solution:

The maximum height attained by nitrogen gas molecule = h
The temperature of nitrogen gas particle = T = 330 K

The average kinetic energy of the gas particles is given by:

$K.E=\frac{3}{2}K_bT\\\\K.E=\frac{3}{2}\times 1.38\times 10^{-23} J/K\times 330 K\\\\K.E=6.381\times 10^{-21} J$

The nitrogen molecule at its maximum height will have zero kinetic energy as all the kinetic energy will get converted into potential energy

The potential energy at height h = $P.E = 6.381\times 10^{-21} J$
Molar mass of nitrogen gas = 28.0134 g/mol
Mass of nitrogen gas molecule = m

$m= \frac{ 28.0134 g/mol}{6.022\times 10^{23} mol^{-1}}=4.652\times 10^{-23} g\\\\1g=0.001kg\\\\m=4.652\times 10^{-23}\times 0.001 kg\\\\=4.652\times 10^{-26} kg$

The acceleration due to gravity = g = 9.8 m/s^2
The maximum height attained by nitrogen gas molecule = h
The potential energy is given by:

$P.E=mgh$

$6.381\times 10^{-21} J=4.652\times 10^{-26} kg\times 9.8 m/s^2\times h\\\\h=\frac{6.381\times 10^{-21} J}{4.652\times 10^{-26} kg\times 9.8 m/s^2}\\\\h=13,996.6 m\\\\1 m = 0.001 km\\\\h=13,996.6 m=h=13,996.6\times 0.001 k m\\\\=13.9966 km \approx 14 km$

The maximum height at which nitrogen molecule will go before coming to rest is 14 kilometers.

Mr. Smith is hyperglycemic with a blood glucose level of 300mg/ml of blood. Explain how homeostasis would regulate his glucose l

aleksley [76]

Answer:

When the animal has eaten food and the blood glucose level in the body increases. The pancreas cells in the body detects the increase in the blood glucose which leads to increase the insulin hormone.

This decreases the blood glucose level in the level. This is how the negative feedback works in the body if the level of glucose increases.

Negative feedback is the way by which the body maintains homeostasis and maintains equilibrium in the body.

Consider the following equilibrium reaction having gaseous reactants and products. 4HCl + O2 ⇌ 2H2O + Cl2 Which of the following

gulaghasi [49]

<h3><u>Answer</u>;</h3>

B.The rate of forward reaction increases.

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Le Chatelier's principle states that changing a factor such as concentration, temperature, or pressure of a reaction at equilibrium will cause the reaction to shift in the direction that counteracts the effect of that change.
<em><u>Therefore, when reactants are added to a reaction at equilibrium shift when more reactants are added then the reaction shifts to the right to make more products.</u></em>
