Explanation:

Potassium Iodide -

It is a salt , which is made of the ions of potassium and iodine ,

Potassium being the cation , and iodide being the anion .

The ions of this salt are held by strong ionic forces , which hold the ions together very strongly .

Hence , a lot of energy is required to melt the salt , as the bond between the ions is very strong .

Hence , the melting point of this salt , i.e. , Potassium Iodide , is very strong .

Potassium Iodide have a lot of strong bonds which requires a very high temperature (high energy) to break them and change into a different state of matter.

Define Acid dissociation constant constant
stiks02 [169]

Answer:

An acid dissociation constant, K a, (also known as acidity constant, or acid-ionization constant) is a quantitative measure of the strength of an acid in solution. It is the equilibrium constant for a chemical reaction ↽ − − ⇀ − + + known as dissociation in the context of acid–base reactions.

k0ka [10]

Answer:

It is mentioned that the student is mixing chemicals A and B and observes the time taken for the color to change. However, in the experiment, it is noticed that the student has repeated the procedure five times and each time he or she is modifying the concentration of chemical B. Thus, it is clear that the concentration of chemical B is the independent variable in the experiment. An independent variable is illustrated as the variable, which is controlled or modified in the experiment.

Justin mixed two clear liquids together during an experiment and made the following observations:
svp [43]

Answer:

B. A chemical change occurred which caused the liquid's physical properties to change.

Explanation:

The reduction of the temperature of the system meant that the reaction absorbed heat energy from it. This shows that a chemical reaction was in progress. New products were formed, and this is proved by the change in the color to blue.

Answer:

V = 80.65L

Explanation:

Volume = ?

Number of moles n = 5 mol

Temperature (T) = 393.15K

Pressure = 1520mmHg

Ideal gas constant (R) = 62.363mmHg.L/mol.K

According to ideal gas law,

PV = nRT

P = pressure of the ideal gas

V = volume the gas occupies

n = number of moles of the gas

R = ideal gas constant (note this can varies depending on the unit of your variables)

T = temperature of the ideal gas

PV = nRT

Solve for V,

V = nRT / P

V = (5 * 62.363 * 393.15) / 1520

V = 80.65L

The volume the gas occupies is 80.65L
