Answer: A.  Diethyl ether has a very low miscibility in wate

The fact that the diethyl ether is miscible or not in water <u>does not imply a ris</u>k for the person who is working with this reagent in the laboratory.

However, the fact that diethyl ether forms explosive peroxides and that it is highly flammable implies that there is a risk of explosion when exposed to air and sunlight. On the other hand, as option C mentions, if a person inhales a large quantity of this reagent, they may lose consciousness and suffer some injury when fainting, due to the powerful anesthetic effect of this reagent.<u> In conclusion, options B, C and D are statements that imply safety problems associated with the use of diethyl ether in the laboratory, while option A does not imply it.</u>

If enough changes occur in the gene pool of a species, it is possible that a new species would be created.
lianna [129]

Answer:

Yes

Explanation:

A gene pool is the sum total of all the genes(sum of alleles)of a species and population at any given time is known as gene pool.

The new species are created in nature by four mechanisms such as geographic isolation (allopatric speciation), reproductive isolation (sympatric speciation), mating behaviour (parapatric speciation).

Due to any of these factors when population acquire unique changes in their genes and enough changes have been introduced in the gene pool of the population with time, two population become distinct from each other and not able to interbreed leads to the formation of new species.

The acid-dissociation constant for benzoic acid (C6H5COOH) is 6.3×10−5. Calculate the equilibrium concentration of H3O+ in the s
raketka [301]

Answer : The equilibrium concentration of H_3O^+ in the solution is, 2.1\times 10^{-3}M

Explanation :

The dissociation of acid reaction is:

                       C_6H_5COOH+H_2O\rightarrow H_3O^++C_6H_5COO^-

Initial conc.        c                                 0                0

At eqm.             c-x                                 x                x

Given:

c = 7.0\times 10^{-2}M

K_a=6.3\times 10^{-5}

The expression of dissociation constant of acid is:

K_a=\frac{[H_3O^+][C_6H_5COO^-]}{[C_6H_5COOH]}

K_a=\frac{(x)\times (x)}{(c-x)}

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

6.3\times 10^{-5}=\frac{(x)\times (x)}{[(7.0\times 10^{-2})-x]}

x=2.1\times 10^{-3}M

Thus, the equilibrium concentration of H_3O^+ in the solution is, 2.1\times 10^{-3}M

Which of the following statements provides the BEST explanation for the many chemical similarities between two elements in a Mai
rjkz [21]

Answer:

(b) Both have the same number of valence electrons.  

Step-by-step explanation:

We find the most striking chemical similarities between two Main Group elements when they are in the same Group of the Periodic Table.

Elements in the same Group have the same number of valence electrons.

(a) is <em>wrong</em>, because elements in the same group have <em>different masses</em>.

(c) is <em>wrong,</em> because atoms with the same number of protons belong to the s<em>ame element</em>.

(d) is wrong, because elements in the same Group must be in . <em>different Periods.</em>
