The correct answer is - A) The major constituents of air are gaseous elements.

With the statement ''the major constituents of air are gaseous elements'' we can easily conclude that the air is a mixture. The reason for that is that we have a plural usage of the word element, elements, which mean that there are multiple elements that make up the air.

The air is indeed predominantly a mixture of gaseous elements. The most abundant gas in the air being the nitrogen with 78.9%, oxygen with 20.95%, argon 0.93%, and carbon dioxide 0.04%, with lesser amounts of other gases also be present in it. The water vapor is also present in the air, though it is variable, being around 1% at sea level, but only 0.4% over the entire atmosphere.

A weak monoprotic acid is titrated with 0.100 MNaOH. It requires 50.0 mL of the NaOH solution to reach the equivalence point. Af
larisa86 [58]

Explanation:

The given reaction is as follows.

        HA(aq) + NaOH (aq) \rightleftharpoons NaA(aq) + H_{2}O(l)

Hence, number of moles of NaOH are as follows.

        n = 0.05 L \times 0.1 M

           = 0.005 mol

After the addition of 25 ml of base, the pH of a solution is 3.62. Hence, moles of NaOH is 25 ml base are as follows.

             n = 0.025 L \times 0.1 M

                = 0.0025 mol

According to ICE table,

         HA(aq) + NaOH (aq) \rightleftharpoons NaA(aq) + H_{2}O(l)

Initial:     0.005 mol   0.0025 mol              0                  0

Change: -0.0025 mol  -0.0025 mol        +0.0025 mol

Equibm:   0.0025 mol    0                         0.0025 mol

Hence, concentrations of HA and NaA are calculated as follows.

          [HA] = \frac{0.0025 mol}{V}

        [NaA] = \frac{0.0025 mol}{V}

       [A^{-}] = [NaA] = \frac{0.0025 mol}{V}

Now, we will calculate the pK_{a} value as follows.

          pH = pK_{a} + log \frac{A^{-}}{HA}

       pK_{a} = pH - log \frac{[A^{-}]}{[HA]}

                  = 3.42 - log \frac{\frac{0.0025 mol}{V}}{\frac{0.0025}{V}}

                  = 3.42

Thus, we can conclude that pK_{a} of the weak acid is 3.42.

Description of how the combined gas law must be modified to introduce the number of moles
telo118 [61]
So the ideal gas law is pv=nrt
The letter n stands for the number of moles. divide both side by rt to isolate.
pv/rt=n

39. Which bond is least polar?<br> A) As-C1<br> B) Bi-CI<br> C) P-CI<br> D) N-C1
garik1379 [7]

Answer:

D) N-Cl.

Explanation:

The electronegativity of the elements in Group 5 (N. P As and Bi) decreases as we go down the Group so N is the most electronegative and chlorine is less able to draw electrons away from N than from the other elements in Group 5.

What is the de Broglie wavelength, in cm, of a 11.0-g hummingbird flying at 1.20 x 10^2 mph?
KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:1.123 x 10^-31cm

Explanation:

mass of humming bird=  11.0g

speed= 1.20x10^2mph

but I mile = 1.6m

1km=1000

I mile = 1.6x10^3m

1.20x10^2mph= 1.6x10^3m /1mile x at 1.20 x 10^2

=1.932 x10^5m

recall that  

1 hr= 60 min

1 min=60 secs, 1hr=3600s

Speed = distance/ time

=1.932 x10^5 / 3600= 5.366 x 10 ^1 m/s

m= a 11.0g= 11.0 x 10^-3kg

h=6.626*10^-34 (kg*m^2)/s

Wavelength = h/mu

= 6.626*10^-34/(11 x 10^-3 x 5.366x 10^1)

6.63x10^-34/ 590.26x 10 ^-3= 1.123 x10^-33m

but 1m = 100cm

1.123 x 10 ^-33 x 100 = 1.123 x 10^-31cm

de broglie wavelength of humming bird = 1.123 x 10 ^-31cm
