The unknown solution is acidic

Answer:

(B) the unknown solution is acidic.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, as the unknown solution reacts with sodium hydroxide forming a salt water, one infers that the unknown solution is acidic since all the acids which react with bases form salts and water based on the shown below widespread chemical reaction:

Acid+Base-->Salt+Water

Which is a neutralization chemical reaction. It is clear that acidic solutions have pH lower than 7 but it is not enough to substantiate the unknown solution formed the salt after the addition of the base. However, the acid could have oxygen but it is not enough to justify the formation of a salt. Finally, it is impossible for the unknown solution to have hydroxide ions since a neutralization was carried out.

Best regards.

Which type of intermolecular attractive force operates between (part A) all molecules, (part B) polar molecules, (part C) the hy
nydimaria [60]

Answer:

PART A: The LDF occurs between all molecules. Dispersion forces result from shifting electron clouds, which cause weak, temporary dipole.

PART B: Dipole dipole operates only between polar molecules. This is when two polar molecules get near each other and the positively charged portion of the molecule is attracted to the negatively charged portion of another molecule.

PART C: Dipole dipole and in some cases hydrogen bonding operate between the hydrogen atom of a polar bond and a nearby small electronegative atom. Only if the atom bonded to it were F, O or N it would be hydrogen bonding. Otherwise it is dipole dipole.

The periodic table is an important but rather dry scientific tool. It lists all the chemical elements, ordered by their atomic numbers. Elements with similar behavior are grouped in the same column (called a group), with metals generally on the left and non-metals (gases) on the right. Rows are called “periods” - hence, periodic table.

The water cycle includes the circulation of all of the water on Earth. Which of these would be included in the water cycle? A. G
asambeis [7]

Answer:

D. All of these

Explanation:

The water cycle refers to how water evaporates from the surface of the earth, rises into the atmosphere, cools and condenses into rain or snow in clouds, and falls again to the surface as precipitation.

<em>Ice and glaciers are part of the water cycle, even though the water in them moves very slowly, they are considered as a form of storage but it stills evaporates into the atmosphere entering the cycle. This also applies to the ocean and surface water as they are in constant evaporation because of their exposition to the sun. </em>Therefore the correct answer is D.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
