Answer:

Paris climate agreement of 2015

Explanation:

In the year 2015, global leaders seeking to join forces to combat the ever increasing emissions of green house gases which is having a bad influence on our prevailing world climate met in Paris in 2015, although the treaty became effective in the year 2016.

There are 195 signatories to the treaty. The Paris Agreement's long-term temperature goal is to keep the increase in global average temperature to well below 2 °C above pre-industrial levels; and to pursue efforts to limit the increase to 1.5 °C, recognizing that this would substantially reduce the risks and impacts of climate change.

Summarize the acid-base behavior of the main-group metal and nonmetal oxides in water. How does oxide acidity in water change do

MaRussiya [10]

Explanation:

Metals react with oxygen to form basic oxides while they react with water to form alkaline solutions. Also, acidic oxides are oxides of nonmetals and they react with water to form acidic solutions.

Trends on the period table shows the variation of metallic character as you move across and down the periodic table. Metallic character of a element decreases across the period on the periodic table from left to right because atoms readily accept electrons in their outermost shell to form stable configurations. Metallic character increases as you move down the group in the periodic table and this is because electrons become easier to lose as the atomic radius increases (more outer shells are added), where there is decreasing attraction between the nucleus and the valence electrons.

So down the group, the acidity of oxide reaction with water decreases because the oxides are more basic down the group while across the period, the acidity of oxide increases because acidic oxides are formed as we move across the period.

Which of these household items is powered by alternating current?

AlladinOne [14]

Answer:

C. Hair dryer

Explanation:

Alternating Current

The other kind of electricity is called alternating current, or AC. Power plants produce this

type of electricity. It is carried by large power lines from the plant to your home. When you

plug a TV, a lamp, or a hair dryer into the wall socket, you are using this type of electricity.

Dana is trying to determine if an unknown sample is a pure substance or not. The sample has a cloudy white color, and it seems e

Firdavs [7]

Answer:

Dana filtered the sample and larger granules of the sample were left behind.

Explanation:

If a substance is pure, it will have a uniform composition throughout. It will not separate into particles of various sizes.

One of the characteristics of pure substances is that they are homogeneous. A mixture is definitely made up of particles of various sizes.

Since the particles was filtered and larger granules were left behind, the sample has been separated by a physical method (filtration). Only a mixture can be separated by physical methods. It is not a pure substance.

In another experiment, a 0.150 M BF4^-(aq) solution is prepared by dissolving NaBF4(s) in distilled water. The BF4^-(aq) ions in

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

Answer:

A) Forward rate = 1.1934 × 10^(-4) M/min

B) I disagree with the claim

Explanation:

A) We are told that [HF] reaches a constant value of 0.0174 M at equilibrium.

The reversible reaction given to us is;

BF4-(aq) +H20(l) → BF3OH-(aq) + HF(aq)

From this, we can see that the stoichiometric ratio is 1:1:1:1

Thus, concentration of [BF4-] is now;

[BF4-] = 0.150 - 0.0174

[BF4-] = 0.1326 M

From the rate law, we are told the forward rate is kf [BF4-].

We are given Kf = 9.00 × 10^(-4) /min

Thus;

Forward rate = 9.00 × 10^(-4) /min × (0.1326M)

Forward rate = 1.1934 × 10^(-4) M/min

(B) The student claims that the initial rate of the reverse reaction is equal to zero can't be true because at equilibrium, rates for the forward and reverse reactions are usually equal.

Thus, I disagree with the claim.
