Answer:

All statements are true

Explanation:

Arrhenius theory:-

The Arrhenius theory was introduced introduced by Swedish scientist named Svante Arrhenius in 1887.

According to the theory, acids are the substances which dissociate in the aqueous medium to produce electrically charged atoms ( may be molecule). Out of these species furnished, one must be a proton or the hydrogen ion, $H^+$ .

Hence, statement 1 is correct.

Bronsted-Lowry base is the specie which accepts the proton form the medium. For example, Benzoate ion is the conjugate base of the benzoic acid. It is a Bronsted-Lowry base and the dissociation of benzoate ion can be shown as:-

$C_6H_5COO^-_{(aq)} + H_2O_{(l)}\rightleftharpoons C_6H_5COOH_{(aq)} + OH^-_{(aq)}$

Hence, statement 2 is correct.

Acetic acid will dissociate as:-

$CH_3COOH\rightleftharpoons CH_3COO^-+H^+$

Hence, statement 3 is also correct.

A block of ice has edge lengths of 8.00 cm each and a mass of 476

valkas [14]

Density is calculated as mass divided by volume. If we are given an ice cube of side length 8.00 cm, then the volume of the cube is equivalent to (8.00 cm)^3 = 512 cm^3. Since we have a given mass of 476 g, we can divide:
476 g / 512 cm^3 = 0.930 g/cm^3
So the density of the sample of ice is 0.930 g/cm^3.

you are studying an animal that produces only one offspring every three or four years. Is it likely to use external or internal

Igoryamba

Answer:

internal fertilization

Explanation:

Internal fertilization enhances the fertilization of eggs by a specific male. Fewer offspring are produced through this method, but their survival rate is higher than that for external fertilization.

What occurs when the nuclei of two very small atoms combine into one large nucleus?

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

The combination of nuclei to form a bigger and heavier nucleus is known as Fussion. The consequence of fusion is the absorption or release of energy.

Explain, in terms of particles, what happens when methane boils and why

Ronch [10]

Answer:Butane > ethane > methane, because between bigger molecules there are stronger van der Waals forces and also higher molar mass means they need to be given more energy to have enough kinetic energy to move quickly, freely in gas.

There are multiple butene isomers (Butene) and some (2-Butenes - cis and trans) actually have higher boiling point than n-Butane (there is also Isobutane, of course, with quite much lower boiling point than all of them) and some (1-Butene, Isobutylene) have lower, so this isn't really a fair or simple question. But on simplest level, it can again be said that 1-butene has lower boiling point because it has very similar shape but slightly lower molar mass (2H less) than n-butane.

Answer:

sp3 - 1,2,13,16,18,19

sp2- 3,4,5,6,7,8,9,10,11,12,14,15,17

sp- 0

Explanation:

Hybridization is the idea that atomic orbitals fuse to form newly hybridized orbitals, which in turn, influences molecular geometry and bonding properties (Chemlibretexts).

Carbon atoms that are singly bonded are sp3 hybridized, carbon atoms that are doubly bonded are sp2 hybridized while carbon atoms that are triply bonded are sp hybridized.

Sp3 hybridized atoms have a tetrahedral geometry, sp2 hybridized atoms have a trigonal planar geometry while an sp hybridized atom has a linear geometry.

The hybridization state of each atom in the compound has been shown in the answer section.
