Why is very important to wait until the crucible is fully coleed to room temperature before weighting

Mars2501 [29]

If you do not wait until the crucible is at room temperature, its density will vary constantly until it reaches this temperature, since density is a property that varies with temperature. For the above reason, weighing a hot crucible will not allow the measurement of a constant weight on the balance, since the weight of the object will be constantly changing, which will not allow a constant reading.

1. In an equilibrium experiment, acetic acid (which is a weak acid) is mixed with sodium acetate (a soluble salt), with methyl o

koban [17]

Explanation:

It is known that acetic acid is a weak acid. It's equilibrium of dissociation will be represented as follows.

$CH_{3}COOH(aq) + H_{2}O(l) \rightleftharpoons CH_{3}COO^{-}(aq) + H_{3}O^{+}(aq)$

On the other hand, sodium acetate ( $CH_{3}COONa$ ) is a salt of weak acid, that is, $CH_{3}COOH$ and strong base, that is, NaOH. Therefore, aqueous solution of sodium acetate will be basic in nature.

Since, acetic acid is a weak acid but still it is an acid. So, when methyl orange is added in a solution of acetic acid then it given a reddish-orange color because of its acidity.

When sodium acetate is mixed into this solution then it will dissociate as follows.

$CH_{3}COO^{-}Na^{+}(aq) \rightleftharpoons CH_{3}COO^{-}(aq) + Na^{+}(aq)$

As both solutions are liberating acetate ion upon dissociation. Hence, it is the common ion.

So, when more acetate ions will increase from dissociation of sodium acetate the according to Le Chatelier's principle the equilibrium will shift on left side.

As a result, there will be decrease in the concentration of hydronium ions. As a result, there will be increase in the pH of the system.

Hence, color of methyl orange will change from reddish orange to yellow. This shift in equilibrium is due to the common ion which is $CH_{3}COO^{-}$ ion.

Consider the following balanced equation:

Serga [27]

Zn⁰ + 2H⁺ ------> Zn²⁺ + H2⁰

H⁺ ion has oxidation number +1.
Zn²⁺ ion has oxidation number +2.
Atom of Zn has electric charge 0, and each hydrogen atom in the molecule H2 have oxidation number 0. So, Zn and each hydrogen atom in H2 have oxidation numbers equals "0".

Answer is
D. Zn and each hydrogen atom in H2

How does your body obtain energy from the carbohydrates you eat?

Komok [63]

Our bodies digest the food we eat by mixing it with fluids (acids and enzymes) in the stomach. When the stomach digests food, the carbohydrate (sugars and starches) in the food breaks down into another type of sugar, called glucose.
