Answer:

c. ll and lll only

Explanation:

Algae are plant-like protists capable of photosynthesis in their cells (chloroplast). Like every other living organism that grows and reproduce, algae also requires nutrients for these processes to effectively occur.

Algae makes use of inorganic nutrients including sulphates, phosphates, nitrates etc which are found in fertilizers, detergents etc. In the presence of these compounds, algae tends to grow excessively to form a BLOOM. Hence, according to the question, nitrates and phosphates are the two inorganic nutrients algae makes use of.

You have 50 ml of a complex mixture of weak acids that contains some HF (pKa = 3.18) and some HCN (pKa = 9.21). Which is larger,
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

\frac{[F^{-}]}{[HF]} is larger

Explanation:

pK_{a}=-logK_{a} , where K_{a} is the acid dissociation constant.

For a monoprotic acid e.g. HA, K_{a}=\frac{[H^{+}][A^{-}]}{[HA]} and \frac{[A^{-}]}{[HA]}=\frac{K_{a}}{[H^{+}]}

So, clearly, higher the K_{a} value , lower will the the pK_{a}

In this mixture, at equilibrium, [H^{+}] will be constant.

K_{a} of HF is grater than K_{a} of HCN

Hence, (\frac{F^{-}}{[HF]}=\frac{K_{a}(HF)}{[H^{+}]})>(\frac{CN^{-}}{[HCN]}=\frac{K_{a}(HCN)}{[H^{+}]})

So, \frac{[F^{-}]}{[HF]} is larger

Which reaction is a decomposition reaction? A. 2KClO3 → 2KCl + 3O2 B. 4Na + O2 → 2Na2O C. ZnS + 3O2 → 2ZnO + 2SO2 D. 2NaBr + CaF
Vedmedyk [2.9K]

Answer:

  • <em><u>Option A. </u></em><u><em>2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂</em></u>

Explanation:

There are five basic general types of chemical reactions:

  • Decomposition reactions
  • Synthesis or combination reaction
  • Single replacement reactions
  • Double replacement reactions
  • Combustion reactions

The given reactions are:

  • <u>2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂</u>

Which is, indeed, a decomposition reaction because the reactant, KClO₃, is a single substance that undergoes a reaction in which it yields two new substances, known as products: KCl and O₂.

  • <u>4Na + O₂ → 2Na₂O</u> is a synthesis or combination reaction because two reactants, Na and O₂, combine for the formation of one single new product, Na₂O.

  • <u>ZnS + 3 O₂ →  2ZnO + 2SO₂ </u>is a single replacement reaction because oxygen is replacing Zn and S in ZnS to form ZnO and plus SO₂.

  • <u>2NaBr + CaF₂ → 2NaF + CaBr₂ </u>is a double replacement reaction because two  ions (Br⁻ from NaBr and F⁻ from CaF₂) are exchanging places with other two ions (Na⁺ from NaBr and Ca²⁺ from CaF₂) two form two new ionic compounds (NaF and CaBr₂).
