The Coriolis force is an inertial force that acts on objects that are in motion relative to a rotation reference frame. This causes moving objects to the right ( with respect to the direction of travel ) in the Northern hemisphere and to the left in the Southern hemisphere. The horizontal deflection is zero at the equator. It also causes the surface ocean currents in the Northern hemisphere to deflect to the right and the currents in the Southern hemisphere to deflect to the left.
Answer: the Coriolis force.

Suppose you have just added 100 ml of a solution containing 0.5 mol of acetic acid per liter to 400 ml of 0.5 m naoh. what is th

Tpy6a [65]

$pH = 13.5$

Explanation:

Sodium hydroxide completely ionizes in water to produce sodium ions and hydroxide ions. Hydroxide ions are in excess and neutralize all acetic acid added by the following ionic equation:

$\text{HAc} + \text{OH}^{-} \to \text{Ac}^{-} + \text{H}_2\text{O}$

The mixture would contain

$0.4 \times 0.5 - 0.1 \times 0.5 = 0.15 \; \text{mol}$ of $\text{OH}^{-}$ and
$0.1 \times 0.5 = 0.05 \; \text{mol}$ of $\text{Ac}^{-}$

if $\text{Ac}^{-}$ undergoes no hydrolysis; the solution is of volume $0.1 + 0.4 = 0.5 \; \text{L}$ after the mixing. The two species would thus be of concentration $0.30 \; \text{mol} \cdot \text{L}^{-1}$ and $0.10 \; \text{mol} \cdot \text{L}^{-1}$ , respectively.

Construct a RICE table for the hydrolysis of $\text{Ac}^{-}$ under a basic aqueous environment (with a negligible hydronium concentration.)

$\begin{array}{cccccccc} \text{R} & \text{Ac}^{-}(aq) &+ & \text{H}_2\text{O}(aq) & \leftrightharpoons & \text{HAc}(aq) & + & \text{OH}^{-} (aq)\\ \text{I} & 0.10 \; \text{M} & & & & & &0.30 \; \text{M}\\ \text{C} & -x \; \text{M}& & & & +x \; \text{M}& & +x \; \text{M} \\ \text{E} & (0.10 - x) \; \text{M} & & & & x \; \text{M} & & (0.30 +x) \; \text{M} \end{array}$

The question supplied the <em>acid</em> dissociation constant $pK_a$ for acetic acid $\text{HAc}$ ; however, calculating the hydrolysis equilibrium taking place in this basic mixture requires the <em>base</em> dissociation constant $pK_b$ for its conjugate base, $\text{Ac}^{-}$ . The following relationship relates the two quantities:

$pK_{b} (\text{Ac}^{-}) = pK_{w} - pK_{a}( \text{HAc})$

... where the water self-ionization constant $pK_w \approx 14$ under standard conditions. Thus $pK_{b} (\text{Ac}^{-}) = 14 - 4.7 = 9.3$ . By the definition of $pK_b$ :

$[\text{HAc} (aq)] \cdot [\text{OH}^{-} (aq)] / [\text{Ac}^{-} (aq) ] = K_b = 10^{-pK_{b}}$

$x \cdot (0.3 + x) / (0.1 - x) = 10^{-9.3}$

$x = 1.67 \times 10^{-10} \; \text{M} \approx 0 \; \text{M}$

$[\text{OH}^{-}] = 0.30 +x \approx 0.30 \; \text{M}$

$pH = pK_{w} - pOH = 14 + \text{log}_{10}[\text{OH}^{-}] = 14 + \text{log}_{10}{0.30} = 13.5$

A pure substance can be separated by chemical means, while a mixture can be separated by physical means.

2. What is true if mass is conserved in a reaction?

<em><u>Answer:</u></em>

There are equal numbers of atoms on both sides.

3. <em>Methane reacts with oxygen then what are the products?</em>

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

carbon dioxide and water

4. Which one of the following is not a homogeneous mixture?

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

vegetable soup

5. The substance is not uniform in appearance and each part of the mixture contains a combination of different ingredients in different ratios.

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

heterogeneous mixtures

6. If a solution is saturated, which of these is true?

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

More solvent can be dissolved

7. Which of these substances are molecules?

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

All compounds are molecules but not all molecules are compounds. Molecular oxygen (O2) and molecular nitrogen (N2) are not compounds because each is composed of a single element. So correct option is 3 and 4.

8. What makes a solution a homogeneous mixture?

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

It is uniform in composition.

9. When a solute is added to a solution, why does it remain homogeneous?

<em>Answer:</em>

The solute dissolves.

10. The chemical formula of glucose is C6H12O6, so it is classified as a(n)

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

pure substance.

11. <em>How many chlorine (Cl) atoms would be in 4 molecules of salt (4 NaCl)?</em>

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

4

12. <em>In a solution of salt and water, which component is the solute?</em>

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

Salt

13. These substances are all H2O2, Li , NaCl , O2

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

Pure Substances

14. If you have 5 grams of product after a chemical reaction, how many grams of reactants did you have at the start of the reaction?

<em>Answer:</em>

5

15. What is the difference between a compound and a mixture?

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

A compound is a pure substance, but a mixture is not.

16. A firework exploding would be an example of a(n) ________.

<u><em>Answer:</em></u>

Exothermic reaction

17. If Lavoisier heated 100 grams of powdered mercuric oxide to produce 93 grams of liquid mercury, how much oxygen would be released?

Solution

2HgO ==> 2Hg + O2

Mass of HgO = 100 g

Molar mass of HgO = 216.59 g/mol

Moles = mass/molar mass = 0.46 moles

From balance chemcial equation

HgO : O2

2 = 1

0.46 = (1 × 0.46 ) ÷ 2 = 0.23 moles

mass of O2 = moles× molar mass = 0.23 × 32 = 7.36 g

18. Using the Law of Conservation of Matter, determine the number of grams of iron sulfide (FeS) that will be produced in this reaction.

<em><u>Solution</u></em>

12g Fe + 64g S → _____ g FeS

According to Law of Conservation of Matter, The total mass of reactant is equal to total mass of product , so the number of grams of iron sulfide (FeS) that will be produced in this reaction as follow.

12 + 64 = 76 g of FeS

Hope this Help.

The final electron acceptor of the electron transport chain that functions in aerobic oxidative phosphorylation is The final ele

MissTica

Answer:

The final electron acceptor of the electron transport chain is oxygen

Explanation:

Four electrons gotten from cytochrome c are involved in the conversion of a molecule of oxygen (O2) to two molecules of water (H2O). This final electron transfer occurs in complex IV. Complex IV, also known as cytochrome c oxidase, facilitates the the use of four protons from the matrix of the mitochondrion, in the production of water molecules while pumping four protons to the intermembrane space of the mitochondrion.
