The correct answer is A. The energy change that happens when a neutral atom gains an electron

Explanation:

In chemistry, an electron is a negatively charged particle that along with neutrons and protons form the atom and make an atom be positively charged, negatively charged or neutral. Additionally, electron affinity refers to the energy involved as in the transfer of electrons, especially as an atom that is neutral gains an electron and energy is released during this change. This occurs mainly in the gaseous state of atoms and implies the creation of bonds. Thus, electron affinity is the energy change as a neutral atom gains an electron (Option A).

Explain how a drought poses a threat to life and the biosphere. Use complete sentences.
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

A drought poses a huge threat to all life. If a drought occurred the entire food chain would disintegrate within months. There would be no water for any animals or plants. Small mammals would not be able to eat plants, and reptiles would not be able to the small animals, and so on. A drought can destroy an ecosystem in a short amount of time.

Water is only being moved into the air through water vapor, so the air will become hotter than water. Land is also not moving in the atmosphere and absorbing heat like air is, so air will also be hotter than land, depending on what the land is made of.

Through precipitation, water in the atmosphere can return to the hydrosphere or percolate into the ground to become groundwater—part of the geosphere. ... Water in the biosphere can be released into the atmosphere through transpiration in plants, or respiration in animals.

Classify each of these soluble solutes as a strong electrolyte, a weak electrolyte, or a nonelectrolyte. Solutes formula hydroch
matrenka [14]

Compounds which on dissolving in water gets completely dissociates into its ions are known as strong electrolytes whereas compounds which on dissolving in water gets partially dissociates into its ions are known as weak electrolytes.


Substances which gives solution on dissolving in water and do not dissociates into ions also does not conduct electric current are known as nonelectrolyte.

  • Hydrochloric acid, HCl

On adding HCl (strong acid) in water, it will completely dissociates into ions (H^{+} and Cl^{-}) and thus, it is a strong electrolyte.

  • Sodium hydroxide, NaOH

On adding NaOH (strong base) in water, it will completely dissociates into ions (Na^{+} and  OH^{-}) and thus, it is a strong electrolyte.

  • Formic acid, HCOOH

On adding HCOOH (weak acid) in water, it will partially dissociates into ions (H^{+} and  HCOO^{-}) and thus, it is a weak electrolyte.

  • Methyl amine, CH_3NH_2

On adding CH_3NH_2 (weak base) in water, it will partially dissociates into ions (CH_3NH_3^{+} and  OH^{-}) and thus, it is a weak electrolyte.

  • Potassium chloride, KCl

On adding KCl in water, it will completely dissociates into ions (K^{+} and  Cl^{-}) and thus, it is a strong electrolyte.

  • Ethanol, C_2H_5OH

On adding C_2H_5OH in water, it will not dissociates into ions  and thus, it is a nonelectrolyte.

  • Sucrose, C_{12}H_{22}O_{11}

On adding C_{12}H_{22}O_{11} in water, it will not dissociates into ions  and thus, it is a nonelectrolyte.

You are on the Titanic and want to find something that will float because you didn't
damaskus [11]

Find volume of pillow

L=78cm

B=55cm

H=25cm

\\ \bull\tt\longrightarrow V=LBH

\\ \bull\tt\longrightarrow V=25(78)(55)

\\ \bull\tt\longrightarrow V=107250cm^3

\\ \bull\tt\longrightarrow V=10.72m^3

Now

Mass=5.5kg

\\ \bull\tt\longrightarrow Density=\dfrac{Mass}{Volume}

\\ \bull\tt\longrightarrow Density=\dfrac{5.5}{10.72}

\\ \bull\tt\longrightarrow Density=0.5kg/m^3

Density of water=1000kg/m^3

As it is less than density of water it will float on water

Alecsey [184]

Explanation:

2,4-DNP is negative: aldehyde and ketone absent

Chromic acid is negative: alcohol absent.

KMnO4 test negative: alkene absent

The only positive result is for Fe(OH)2.

Nitro group-containing compounds react with ferrous hydroxide to give amine and ferric hydroxide red ppt. Hence given compound contains the nitro group (-NO2).
