Why do many metal ions produce acidic solutions when dissolved in water?

Chemistry

<span>Water molecules form a complex with metal ions (usually a 6-coordinate complex). And the high charge density on a metal ion draws electrons away from the water molecules, making the O-H bonds more polar than normal. This allows the dissociation of the protons, making solutions of most metal ions acidic</span>

Plants are responsibe for a very important energy transformation what answer
Soloha48 [4]

Plants are chlorophyll-containing photosynthetic organisms. Thus, they convert solar or radiant energy into chemical energy under the process termed as photosynthesis.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • Plants are chlorophyll-containing photosynthetic living beings. Consequently, they convert radiant energy into chemical energy under the procedure named  photosynthesis.  
  • Except for remote ocean hydro-thermal environment, the sun is the only source for all biological systems on earth. Plants catch just 2-10 percent of the solar radiation and transmit it as chemical energy. All creatures are reliant for their nourishment on producers (plants), either directly or indirectly. So there is a stream of energy from the sun (radiant energy) to producers and then to consumers (chemical energy).

Answer : The time passed in years is 2.74\times 10^2\text{ years}

Explanation :

Half-life of carbon-14 = 5730 years

First we have to calculate the rate constant, we use the formula :

k=\frac{0.693}{t_{1/2}}

k=\frac{0.693}{5730\text{ years}}

k=1.21\times 10^{-4}\text{ years}^{-1}

Now we have to calculate the time passed.

Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:

t=\frac{2.303}{k}\log\frac{a}{a-x}

where,

k = rate constant  = 1.21\times 10^{-4}\text{ years}^{-1}

t = time passed by the sample  = ?

a = initial amount of the reactant disintegrate = 15.3

a - x = amount left after decay process = 14.8

Now put all the given values in above equation, we get

t=\frac{2.303}{1.21\times 10^{-4}}\log\frac{15.3}{14.8}

t=274.64\text{ years}=2.74\times 10^2\text{ years}

Therefore, the time passed in years is 2.74\times 10^2\text{ years}

What force works against gravity as water infiltrates the soil and moves
love history [14]

Answer:

Answer is option B . This is because water is said to be highly permeable to the underground soil and thus nourishes it , whereas capillary action will make the water flow upward sllowly , but the water is going underground so it is permeability. Also soil is porous too , but that's only if the water is in the soil , here the water is caused to go underground by some force , so porosity isnt the right option
