A. It does not retain the properties of the substances that make it up
Answer:
Hydrofluoric acid.
Explanation:
To know which of the acid is the strongest, let us determine the pka of each acid. This is illustrated below:
1. Acetic acid
Ka = 1.8x10^-5
pKa =..?
pKa = –logKa
pKa = –Log 1.8x10^-5
pKa = 4.74
2. Benzoic acid
Ka = 6.5x10^-5
pKa =..?
pKa = –logKa
pKa = –Log 6.5x10^-5
pKa = 4.18
3. Hydrofluoric acid.
Ka = 6.8x10^-4
pKa =..?
pKa = –logKa
pKa = –Log 6.8x10^-4
pKa = 3.17
4. Hypochlorous acid
Ka = 3.0x10^-8
pKa =..?
pKa = –logKa
pKa = –Log 3.0x10^-8
pKa = 7.52
Note: the smaller the pKa value, the stronger the acid.
The pka of the various acids as calculated above is given below:
Acid >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> pKa
1. Acetic acid >>>>>>>>>> 4.74
2. Benzoic acid >>>>>>>> 4.18
3. Hydrofluoric acid >>>> 3.17
4. Hypochlorous acid >> 7.52
From the above illustration, we can see that hydrofluoric acid has the lowest pKa value. Therefore, hydrofluoric acid is the strongest among them.
The single most important chemical weathering agent is Carbon dioxide.
Weathering refers to the process that change the physical and chemical character of rock at or near the surface. Weathering has a dramatic impact on the composition of Earth's atmosphere. Chemical weathering removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere, allowing it to be transformed into limestone and stored in the crust. Without chemical weathering, the elevated levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere would have long made Earth too hot to sustain life.
The answer is D; Mass and Velocity
