Answer:

b. NH₃.

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to defined the base;

Base is the substance that can produce OH⁻ ions in the solution.

So, NaOH, KOH, and NH₃ are bases because they can produce OH⁻ ions in the solution.

But, K₂O is not a base, it can not produce OH⁻ ions in the solution.

Now, we need to differentiate between strong and weak bases.

Strong bases are bases that can completely ionized in the solution and produce OH⁻ ions.

NaOH and KOH are strong bases because they can completely ionized in the solution and produce OH⁻ ions.

Weak bases are bases that can not completely ionized (ionized partially) in the solution and produce OH⁻ ions.

NH₃is a weak base hat can not completely ionized (ionized partially) in the solution and produce OH⁻ ions.

So, the right choice is: NH₃.

Which factor can increase a population rate

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

Factors that cause population growth include increased food production, improved health care services, immigration and high birth rate. These factors have led to overpopulation, which has more negative effects than positive impacts. The world population today is over 7 billion and the number is increasing with each passing year.

Mg(s) + ½O2(g) → MgO(s) + 146 kcal/mole H2(g) + ½O2(g) → H2O(g), ΔH = -57.82 kcal/mole What type of reaction is represented by t

professor190 [17]

Answer is: both reactions are exothermic.

In exothermic reactions, heat is released and enthalpy of reaction is less than zero (as it show second chemical reaction).
According to Le Chatelier's principle when the reaction is exothermic heat is included as a product (as it show first chemical reaction).
