Answer:

HNO₃.

Explanation:

  • It is known that acids decrease the pH of the solution, while bases increase  the pH of the solution.

So, HF and HNO₃ decrease the pH of the solution as they produce H⁺ in the solution.

While, KOH and NH₃ increase the pH of the solution as they produce OH⁻ in the solution.

HNO₃ will decrease the pH of the solution greater than HF.

  • Because HNO₃ is strong acid that decomposes completely to produce H⁺ more than the same concentration of HF that is a weak acid which does not decomposed completely to produce H⁺.

Annette [7]

Answer: Zn(s)+CuSO_4(aq)\rightarrow ZnSO_4+Cu

Explanation:-

Single replacement reaction is a chemical reaction in which more reactive element displaces the less reactive element from its salt solution.

As zinc is more reactive than copper, it could easily displace copper from its aqueous solution and thus leads to formation of zinc (II) sulfate and pure copper.

The chemical reaction can be represented as :

Zn(s)+CuSO_4(aq)\rightarrow ZnSO_4+Cu

The phases are represented as (s) for solid sate, (l) for liquid state, (g) for gaseous state and (aq) for aqueous state.

suppose medical records indicate that the length of newborn babies (in inches) is normally distributed with a mean of 20 and a s
Tanya [424]

Answer:

  • <u>0.6826 (68.26%)</u>

Explanation:

<u>1) Find the z-scores:</u>

  • z = [X - μ ] / σ

a) z-score for 22.6 inches length

  • X = 22.6
  • μ = 20
  • σ = 2.6

  • z = [ 22.6 - 20 ] / 2.6 = 1.00

b) z-score for 17.4 inches length

  • X = 17.4
  • μ = 20
  • σ = 2.6

  • z = [ 17.4 - 20 ] / 2.6 =  - 1.00

<u>2) Probability</u>

Then, you have to find the probability that the length of an infant is between - 1.00 and 1.00 standards deviations (σ) from the mean (μ).

That is a well known value of 68%, which is part of the 68-95-99.7 empirical rule.

The most exact result is obtained from tables and is 68.26%:

  • 1 - P (z ≥ 1.00) - P (z ≤ - 1.00) = 1 - 0.1587 - 0.1587 = 0.6826 = 68.26%

What is the solution to the problem expressed to the correct number of significant figures
quester [9]

I don't know what the problem is, but here are some rues to help you out:

  1. All non-zero figures are significant
  2. When a zero falls between non-zero digits, that zero is significant.
  3. When a zero falls after a decimal point, that zero is significant.
  4. When multiplying and dividing significant figures, the answer is limited to the number of sig figs equal to the least number of sig figs in the problem.
  5. When adding and subtracting, the answer is limited to the number of decimal places in the number with the least number of decimal places.
