Answer:

Legumes have numerous advantages for health and are also very good for soils.

Explanation:

From a health point of view, according to the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN, legumes are seeds that contain low sugar, low fat, high fiber, iron and antioxidants, all of which contribute to a better functioning of the human body. But also from an ecological perspective, this plants are great for restoring soils because their are the only group of plants capable of sequestering nitrogen from the atmosphere into the food webs. In food insecure populations usually one of the main problems is the poor state of soils, and also the need for high-nutrient aliments to fight diseases. That is why legumes are such a good source for them.

astra-53 [7]

Answer:

90g of H2O

Explanation:

2H2 + O2 —> 2H2O

First, we calculate the molar masses of H2 And H20.

Molar Mass of H2 = 2g/mol

Mass conc of H2 from the balanced equation = 2 x 2 = 4g

Molar Mass of H2O = 2 + 16 = 18g/mol

Mass conc of H2O from the balanced equation = 2x18 = 36g

From the equation,

4g of H2 produced 36g of H2O

Therefore, 10g of H2 will be produce = (10x36)/4 = 90g of H2O

Answer:

Answers are in the explanation

Explanation:

Equlibrium of HF in H₂O is:

HF + H₂O ⇄ F⁻ + H₃O⁺

Now, the KOH reacts with HF, thus:

KOH + HF → F⁻ + H₂O

That means after reaction, concentration of HF decrease increasing F⁻ concentration.

Now, seeing the equilibrium, as moles of HF decrease and F⁻ moles increase, the equilibrium will shift to the left decreasing H₃O⁺ concentration.

For the statements:

A. The number of moles of HF will increase. FALSE. HF react with KOH, thus, moles of HF decrease

B. The number of moles of F- will decrease. FALSE. The reaction produce F⁻ increasing its moles.

C. The equilibrium concentration of H₃O⁺ will increase. FALSE. The equilibrium shift to the left decreasing concentration of H₃O⁺

D. The pH will decrease. FALSE. As the H₃O⁺ concentration decrease, pH will increase

E. The ratio of [HF] / [F-] will remain the same. FALSE. Because moles of HF are decreasing whereas F- moles are increasing changing, thus, ratio.
