Answer:

The acid dissociation constant, also called the acid-ionization constant, represents the equilibrium constant of a given chemical reaction, which is denoted by the symbol Ka.

It gives the measure of the acidic strength of a chemical substance or the dissociation of an acid in a solution and is represented as the ratio of concentrations of product and the reactants, at equilibrium.

Answer:

2.Closed System: A closed system is a thermodynamic system where energy can be exchanged with its surrounding but not matter. Open System: Open systems can exchange matter with the surrounding. Closed System: Closed systems cannot exchange matter with the surrounding. Open System: The mass of the system will vary with time in open systems.

Explanation:

1.The particle model is the name for the diagrams used to draw solids, liquids and gases. In the model, the particles are shown as circles or spheres. However, the particles in ice, liquid water and steam look the same because they are all water, but in different states of matter. Why do we use the particle model in science?

3.An open system can be defined as a system which can exchange both matter and energy with the surrounding. For example, the earth can be recognized as an open system. In this case, the earth is the system, and space is the surrounding. Sunlight can reach the earth surface and we can send rockets to space.

When a piece of sodium carbonate reacts with dilute HCl, a gas X is produced. When gas X is passed through lime water then the s

siniylev [52]

Gas x would be carbon dioxide.

note/ acid + carbonate —> salt + water + carbon dioxide

the white precipitate would be calcium carbonate. CaCo₃

note/ this is a common eqn u need to remember.

X - CO₂ (carbón dioxide)
Y - CaCo₃ (calcium carbonate)

sodium carbonate is a basic salt

Which sample of water contains particles having the highest average kinetic energy?

Makovka662 [10]

(1) 25 ml of water at 95 degrees Celsius is your answer. Temperature is the average kinetic energy of the substance that it measures, therefore the highest temperature choice, aka #1, is your answer.

What is a mineral phase change?

anyanavicka [17]

A mineral phase change involves the action of a mineral changing physical form. This can involve changing from a solid to a liquid, changing in to a gas form, etc. This phenomenon may sometimes be referred to as metamorphism.

i have an unknown volume of gas at a pressure of 0.50 atm a temperature of 325 k. If i raise the pressure to 1.2 atm, decrease t

Ronch [10]

Assuming that the number of mols are constant for both conditions:
$\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1} = \frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}$
Now you plug in the given values. V_1 is the unknown.
$\frac{0.50 atm*V_1}{325K} = \frac{1.2 atm* 48 L}{230K}
$
Separate V_1
$V_1= \frac{1.2 atm* 48 L * 325K }{230K*0.50 atm }$
V= 162.782608696 L

There are 2 sig figs

V= 160 L
