Coal
Coal is a sedimentary rock that is made from mostly plant debris. This debris is usually formed in a swampy environment and is usually mined and used for fuel! Hope this helps!

How does a lithium cation compare to a lithium atom?

ExtremeBDS [4]

The correct answer is gonna be C) A lithium cation ion is smaller

A lithium cation has lost its valence electrons, which causes the remaining electrons to be pulled in stronger by the positive charge in the nucleus. As they get closer to the nucleus, the overall size of the atom is decreased.

If a chemical has a pH of 3, how could you alter its pH value to be more basic?

Andreyy89

Answer; If a chemical has a pH of 3, how could you change its pH value to be more basic? Adding water to a chemical will dilute the acid, thus lowering the pH value to more basic.

"acid is responsible for the odor in rancid butter. a solution of 0.25 m butyric acid has a ph of 2.71. what is the ka for"

Salsk061 [2.6K]

Answer:- The Ka for the acid is $1.53*10^-^5$ .

Solution:- In general, monoprotic acid could be represented by HA. The dissociation equation for the ionization of HA is written as:

HA(aq)\rightarrow H^+(aq) + A^-(aq)

Now, we make the ice table for this equation as:

HA(aq)\rightarrow H^+(aq) + A^-(aq)

I 0.25 0 0

C -X +X +X

E (0.25 - X) X X

where, I stands for initial concentration, C stands for change in concentration and E stands for equilibrium concentration.

X is the change in concentration and from ice table it's same as the concentration of hydrogen ion that is calculated from given pH.

$Ka = [H^+][A^-]\frac{1}{HA}$

Where, Ka is the acid ionization constant. Let's plug in the values.

$Ka = \frac{X^2}{0.25-X}$

Let's calculate the value of X first using the equation:

$pH = -log[H^+]$ [/tex]

on taking antilog ob above equation we get:

$[H^+]=10^-^p^H$

$[H^+]=10^-^2^.^7^1$

$[H^+]$ = 0.00195

So, X = 0.001195

Let's plug in this value of X in the equation:-

$Ka=\frac{(0.00195)^2}{0.25-0.00195}$

$Ka=1.53*10^-^5$

So, the value of Ka for butyric acid is $1.53*10^-^5$ .

What causes normal red blood cells to shrink

Savatey [412]

On the off chance that the red blood cells are smaller than ordinary, this is called microcytic anemia. The significant reasons for this sort are low-level iron, anemia, thalassemia.
