Earthquakes along the San Andreas fault in California.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • When the two plates collide with each other, earthquakes occur. The contact between them makes this earthquake possible. The contact forces are responsible for the earthquakes as there is contact between two plates.          
  • The gravitational force is a force that is responsible for elevated tides happening on the east coast or the Jupiter's moons to remain in orbit. But this is not a contact force as there is no contact between them
  • Moreover, Without any contact, the magnetic force is a non-contact as it attracts the pins from a distance.

In the following net ionic equation, identify each reactant as either a Bronsted-Lowry acid or a Bronsted-Lowry base. HCN(aq) H2
vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Explanation:

The definition of acids and bases by Arrhenius Theory  was modified and extended by  Bronsted-Lowry.

Bronsted-Lowry defined acid as a molecule or ion which donates a proton while a base is a molecule or ions that accepts the proton. This definition can be extended to include acid -base titrations in non-aqueous solutions.

In this theory, the reaction of an acid with a base constitutes a transfer of a proton from the acid to the base.

From the given information:

\mathsf{HCN _{(aq)} + H_2O_{(l)} \to CN^{-}_{(aq)} + H_3O_{(aq)}}

From above:

We will see that HCN releases an H⁺ ion, thus it is a Bronsted-Lowry acid

H_2O accepts the H⁺ ion ,thus it is a Bronsted-Lowry base.

The formula of the reactant that acts as a proton donor is <u>HCN</u>

The formula of the reactant that acts as a proton acceptor is <u>H2O</u>

What is the pOH of a solution of HNO3 that has [OH-] = 9.50 10-9 M?
bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

The pOH of HNO₃ solution that ha OH⁻ concentration 9.50 ×10⁻⁹M is 8.

Explanation:

Given data:

[OH⁻] = 9.50 ×10⁻⁹M

pOH = ?

Solution:

pOH = -log[OH⁻]

Now we will put the value of OH⁻ concentration.

pOH = -log[9.50 ×10⁻⁹M]

pOH = 8

Thus the pOH of HNO₃ solution that ha OH⁻ concentration 9.50 ×10⁻⁹M is 8.
