Answer:

A reaction between a strong acid and a weak base.

Explanation:

The conjugate acid of a weak base is a strong acid.

\underbrace{\hbox{H}_{3}\text{O}^{+}}_{\hbox{acid}} + \underbrace{\hbox{B}}_{\hbox{base}} =\underbrace{\hbox{BH}^{+}}_{\hbox{acid}} + \underbrace{\hbox{H}_{2}\text{O}}_{\hbox{acid}}

The reaction above is reversible, so we can write

\underbrace{\hbox{BH}^{+}}_{\hbox{acid}} + \underbrace{\hbox{H}_{2}\text{O}}_{\hbox{base}}\rightleftharpoons \underbrace{\hbox{H}_{3}\text{O}^{+}}_{\hbox{acid}} + \underbrace{\hbox{B}}_{\hbox{base}}

Thus, the solution of the salt will be acidic, because it produces hydronium ions.

Example;

Ammonium chloride is the salt of a strong acid (HCl) and a weak base (NH₃).

Solutions of NH₄Cl are acidic.

The properties of two elements are listed below. Element Atomic radius (pm) Ionic radius (pm) First ionization energy (kJ/mol) E
Sedbober [7]

Answer:

K will give up an electron more easily than Br.

Explanation:

Electronegativity of an element is a property that combines the ability of its atom to lose and gain electrons.

The lower the electronegativity value, the more electropositive an element is and the more readily it loses electrons.

From the data given, we see that Br has an E.N value of 3.0 and K has an E.N value of 0.82.

Therefore, Br is highly electronegative and it is able to attract electrons to itself whereas K has a low E.N value. K will give up electrons more readily.

Lookinf at other information in the table, the larger atomic radius and lower ionizaton energy of K are all pointers to how readily it would be able to lose electrons.

We can conclude that K is even a metal.

Why using a temperature probe is preferable to using a conventional mercury thermometers
Crank
This for health and hazard purposes. The conventional thermometers contain mercury which is very dangerous to health. It is toxic which could cause poisoning, respiratory damage and kidney problems. Because of this, it is already illegal to use them for safety purposes. Temperature probes are much safer because they only use thermocouples.

g How many turns through the citric acid cycle are required to fully oxidize all of the acetly-coA that result from 1 molecule o
faust18 [17]

Answer:

The two molecules of acetyl-CoA that are produced from a molecule of glucose goes through two turn in the citric acid cycle, one for each molecule of acetyl-CoA.

Explanation:

Glycolysis the process by which a molecule of glucose is broken down in a series of steps to yield two molecules of pyruvate. The overall equation for  the reactions of glycolsis is given below:

Glucose + 2NAD+ ----> 2 Pyruvate + 2NADH + 2H⁺

Each of the two pyruvate molecules produced from glucose breakdown is further oxidized to two molecules of acetyl-CoA and CO₂ each.

2 Pyruvate ----> 2 AcetylCoA + 2CO₂

Each of the acetyl-CoA molecule then enters the citric acid cycle for its oxidation. In each turn of the cycle, one acetyl group enters as acetyl-CoA and two molecules of CO₂ leave.
