Temperature cloud cover and thunder are all examples of
Umnica [9.8K]

Temperature, cloud cover and thunder are all examples of weather.  

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Weather is described as conditions that prevail for a short period of time and the above-mentioned factors change variably throughout the day. Cloud cover simply describes the clouds coverage in the sky. It is one factor that is used to describe weather conditions since the type of clouds indicates prevailing weather.

For example, the presence of cirrus means there will be a storm in 24 to 48 hours. Weather conditions characterized by thunder is said to be stormy and it also has other conditions such as lightning, wind and fast rain with heavy raindrops. Temperature affects the warmness and coldness of the air and its movement. Moreover, it also affects all other aspects of weather conditions.

Basic substances have a gritty texture.
crimeas [40]
<h3>1.<u> Answer;</u></h3>

False

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>

Bases have some of the following properties;

  • They have a bitter taste
  • They have a slimy, or soapy feel on fingers
  • Most bases react with acids and precipitate salts.
  • Strong bases may react violently with acids.
  • Bases turn red litmus paper blue

<h3>2. <u>Answer;</u></h3>

An acid

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • When acids are dissolved in water, the concentration of the acid decreases and it becomes dilute.
  • It dissociates in water to give H+ ions or hydrogen ions.
  • All acidic solutions contain more hydrogen ions than hydroxide ions, therefore when added to water it increases the concentration of H+ ions in water, as water is a neutral substance whose concentration of H+ ions is equal to OH-.

Describe the capillary action in acetone compared to water
lakkis [162]
Capillary action is defined as the ability of a liquid to go up a narrow space without the help or opposition of external forces. One of the most important factors affecting capillary action is the intermolecular forces within a substance. The higher the IMF, the greater the capillary action. The H-bonding in water gives it greater IMF than acetone, so water has greater capillary action.

A 3.4 g sample of sodium hydrogen carbonate is added to a solution of acetic acid weighing 10.9 g. The two substances react, rel
natima [27]

Answer: 2.7 grams

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

NaHCO_3(aq)+CH_3COOH(aq)\rightarrow CH_3COONa(aq)+H_2O(l)+CO_2(g)

Given: mass of sodium hydrogen carbonate = 3.4 g

mass of acetic acid = 10.9 g

Mass of reactants = mass  of sodium hydrogen carbonate+ mass of acetic acid = 3.4 + 10.9= 14.3 g

Mass of reactants = Mass of products in reaction vessel + mass of carbon dioxide (as it escapes)

Mass of  carbon dioxide = 14.3 - 11.6 =2.7 g

Thus the mass of carbon dioxide released during the reaction is 2.7 grams.
