Answer:(4) ----accepts  a proton

Explanation:

H2O water can produce both hydrogen and   hydroxide ions

H2O --> H+ + OH-

According to the Bronsted-Lowry theory, it can be a proton donor and a proton acceptor.this means that It can donate a hydrogen ion to become its conjugate base, or  can accept a hydrogen ion to form its conjugate acid,

When , a water molecule, H2O accepts a proton it will act as a Brønsted-Lowry base especially when dissolved in a strong acidic medium. for eg

HCl + H2O(l) → H3O+(aq) + Cl−(aq)

Here, Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid and ionizes completely in  water, since it is more acidic than water, the water will act as a base.

The graph below shows how the temperature and volume of a gas vary when the number of moles and the pressure of the gas are held
DedPeter [7]

Answer:

Option C. By increasing the temperature

Explanation:

From the graphical illustration above, we see clearly that the volume and temperature of the gas are directly proportional. This implies that as the temperature increases, the volume will also increase and as the temperature decreases, the volume will also decrease. This can further be explained by using the ideal gas equation as shown below:

PV = nRT

P is the pressure.

V is the volume.

n is the number of mole.

R is the gas constant.

T is the temperature.

PV = nRT

Divide both side by P

V = nRT/P

Since n and P are constant, the equation above becomes:

V & T

V = KT

K is the constant.

The above equation i.e V = KT implies that:

As T increases, V will also increase and as T decreases, V will also decrease.

Considering the question given above,

The volume of the gas can be increased if the temperature is increased.

How many formula units of CaO are in 32.7 g of CaO?
zhuklara [117]

Answer:

D) 3.51x10²³ formula units

Explanation:

To know this, we need to calculate the molecular mass of CaO. To do that, let's use the atomic mass of each element of this compound.

Ca: 40.08 g/mol;    O: 16 g/mol

With these given AM, let's calculate the molar mass of CaO:

Mm CaO = 40.08 + 16 = 56.08 g/mol

Now that we have the MM of CaO, it's time to determine the moles of CaO:

moles = mass / MM

moles = 32.7 / 56.08 = 0.5831 moles

Finally to get the formula units, we need to use the Avogadro's number which is 6.02x10²³. According to this number, 1 mole of any substance has this number of atoms, molecules or formula units. So, if we have 0.5831 moles, then the formula units will be:

FU = 0.5831 * 6.02x10²³

<h2>FU = 3.51x10²³ formula units</h2>

Hope this helps

Which of the following processes involves only physical change? A. decay B. sublimation C. digestion D. combustion
grigory [225]
B. Sublimation
Sublimation is the change of a liquid from the liquid state to the gas state. That’s why it’s only involves a physical change. Also, you can go back to the liquid stage.
