The answer is A
In approximately 5 billion years, the sun will begin the helium-burning process, turning into a red giant star. When it expands, its outer layers will consume Mercury and Venus, and reach Earth.
THE COMPLETE QUESTION IS:
Determine whether each cation is acidic or pH-neutral. For those cations that are acidic, write an equation that shows how the cation acts as an acid . a. NH+4 b. Na+ c. Co3+ d. CH2NH+3
Answer:
<em>a. Acidic</em>
<em>b. neutral</em>
<em>c. Acidic</em>
<em>d. Acidic</em>
Explanation:
a. NH4+ + H2O <==> NH3 + H3O+ (NH4+ is a conjugate acid of a weak base. Therefore it is acidic)
b. Neutral. Na+ is a cation of a strong base. Therefore it's pH is neutral.
c. Co(H2O)6³+ + H2O <==>CoH2O5(OH)²+ + H3O+
(Therefore Co+ is a weak acid since hydronium ion is formed.)
d. CH2NH3+ is a conjugate acid of a weak base. Therefore it is acidic.
When landfills have a very poor maintenance, it would likely result in the release of harmful gases into the atmosphere. Among these poisonous gases released are carbon dioxide and methane in which if inhaled in an excessive amount, it could cause respiratory illnesses or it could be fatal.
Answer:
The deuterium-tritium (DT, Figure 2) reaction is the most useful for fusion energy because it most easily overcomes the Coulomb repulsion, and it has the highest energy release among laboratory-feasible reactions.
Explanation:
When a deuterium nucleus (2H) and a tritium nucleus (3H) combine, the result is a helium nucleus and a very energetic neutron. Under the right circumstances, the energy released is sufficient to induce further fusion reactions.
