so basically

some fuels have an impurity in them which is sulfur.

When the fuel undergoes combustion, the sulfur reacts with oxygen in the air to form sulfur dioxide.

the sulfur dioxide reacts with water vapour in the air to form sulfurous acid, which is a type of acid rain.

Also

the high pressures inside a car engine may cause nitrogen and oxygen in the air to react and form oxides of nitrogen. the most common compounds formed inside car engines are NO (nitrogen oxide) and NO2 (nitrogen dioxide)

Its basically a chart with all the known elements on it. The elements are organized by period and group. Period and group are determined by the number of protons and electrons an atome has.

Be sure to answer all parts. What is the [H3O+] and the pH of a buffer that consists of 0.26 M HNO2 and 0.89 M KNO2? (K, of HNO2

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer : The $H_3O^+$ ion concentration is, $1.12\times 10^{-3}M$ and the pH of a buffer is, 2.95

Explanation : Given,

$K_a=7.1\times 10^{-4}$

Concentration of $HNO_2$ (weak acid)= 0.26 M

Concentration of $KNO_2$ (conjugate base or salt)= 0.89 M

First we have to calculate the value of $pK_a$ .

The expression used for the calculation of $pK_a$ is,

$pK_a=-\log (K_a)$

Now put the value of $K_a$ in this expression, we get:

$pK_a=-\log (7.1\times 10^{-4})$

$pK_a=4-\log (7.1)$

$pK_a=3.15$

Now we have to calculate the pH of the solution.

Using Henderson Hesselbach equation :

$pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[Salt]}{[Acid]}$

$pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[KNO_2]}{[HNO_2]}$

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

$pH=3.15+\log (\frac{0.89}{0.26})$

$pH=2.95$

The pH of a buffer is, 2.95

Now we have to calculate the $H_3O^+$ ion concentration.

$pH=-\log [H_3O^+]$

$2.95=-\log [H_3O^+]$

$[H_3O^+]=1.12\times 10^{-3}M$

The $H_3O^+$ ion concentration is, $1.12\times 10^{-3}M$

Which answer is a scientifically accurate description of velocity?

agasfer [191]

Answer:

B. The motorcyclist traveled southeast along a highway at 55 mph and reached the campsite in less than the two-hour estimated time.

Explanation:

Velocity is the rate at which an object changes position in a specific direction. It has both magnitude and direction.

Travelling southeast at 55 mph is a velocity. It gives both speed and direction.

Statements A., B., and C. give the direction but not the speed.

K forms the compound K2O , which is an ionic compound that is brittle. Identify another element, M , that is likely to form a br

meriva

The metal is sodium, Na.

Explanation:

K₂O is an ionic compound in which K is in the oxidation state of +1 and it belongs to group 1.

Group 1 elements also form oxides with the metals with the general formula M₂O and M being Na, K, Li and so on.

Metals Like sodium and Potassium are so brittle in nature and also their oxides.

So the other metal that form metal oxide which is brittle as well as ionic in nature, and so the metal oxide is Na₂O.

So the metal is sodium, Na.
