Answer:
If the volume of a container is decreased, the temperature decreases, which means that the volume of a gas is directly proportional to its temperature
Answer:
Homopolysaccharides are polysaccharides composed of a single type of sugar monomer.
Answer:
There are two explanations to this: covalent network bonding and carbon-silicate cycle.
Explanation:
A network solid or covalent network solid is a chemical compound which is formed through a continued network of atoms or molecules held together by a covalent bond throughout the system. An example included C-C bond in graphite or C-Si bond in silicon carbide (tentative reaction equation below):
xSiO2 + yCO2→ SixCyO(2x+2y)
Si-Si bonds are not as strong as C-C bonds and can easily be displaced as the particles react with atmospheric CO2.
The second scenerio is when silicates such as calcium silicate CaSiO3, or wollastonite, reacts with atmospheric carbon dioxide and water to yield a calcium ion, Ca2+, a bicarbonate ion, HCO3-, and dissolved silica. This process occurs during carbon-silicate cycle and increase organic carbon content:
2CO2 + H2) + CaSiO3 → + SiO2CaCO3 + CO2 + H2)
Answer:
Mass ratio of sulfur and oxygen in compounds A and B is 3:2 which confirms that the mass ratios in the two compounds are simple multiples of each other
Explanation:
This question seeks to establish/confirm the law of multiple proportions which posits that elements combine to form different substances which are whole number multiples of each other. Best example of this plays out in the formation of several oxides of the same element. Looking at the ratio in which the elements combine in each of the oxides, we can assume that these ratios are simple whole number multiples of each other.
Now back to the question.
In substance A, we have 6 g of sulfur combining with 5.99 g of oxygen
Now, lest us calculate the ratio of the mass of sulfur to that of oxygen = 6g/5.99g = 1
Now let us calculate the mass ratio of sulfur to oxygen in the second compound = 8.6/12.88 = 0.668
Now the ratios in both compounds are 1 to 0.668. 0.668 to fraction is approximately 1/1.5.
So therefore, the ratio we are having would be 1:1/1.5 or 1:0.668
This is same as 1/(1÷1.5) which is 1.5/1 or simply 3/2
This gives a ratio of approximately 1.5 to 1 or 3 to 2
The ratio 3 to 2 indicates that the mass ratios in both com pounds are simple multiples of each other
Answer:
Ka = 1.5 × 10⁻⁵
Explanation:
Butyric acid is a weak acid that ionizes according to the following equation:
CH₃-CH₂-CH₂-COOH(aq) ⇄ CH₃-CH₂-CH₂-COO⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq)
We can find the value of the acid dissociation constant (Ka) using the following expression:
where
[H⁺] is the molar concentration of H⁺
Ca is the initial molar concentration of the acid
We can find [H⁺] from the pH.
pH = -log [H⁺]
[H⁺] = antilog -pH = antilog -2.71 = 1.95 × 10⁻³ M
Then,
