Answer:

silicon carbide (SiC), a network solid

Explanation:

SiC has a giant network of covalent structure which takes a lot of energy to break than just a single covalent bond. In the network there are many Si and C atoms. All the atoms in the network are linked to each other by strong covalent bonds. SiC forms a lattice structure, in which both the Si and C atoms are sp³ hybridized. In the SiC crystal lattice the smallest unit is a tetrahedron of a central Si atom surrounded by four C atoms or a central C atom surrounded by four Si atoms.

Leah is trying to determine how music affects the growth of plants. She hypothesizes that classical music will cause a plant to

Pani-rosa [81]

Leah's experiment:
A. Takes careful and regular measurements (she measures the growth every day)
B. Has a specific hypothesis and a controlled experiment (the music is the only changing variable, the growth conditions are identical, and this is what she wants to test in her hypothesis)
C. Experimental data that can be recorded and analyzed (measuring the growth of plant fits this)

So the answer must be D, since there is no mention of past research that scientists have found on this topic.

In an aqueous solution of a certain acid the acid is 4.4% dissociated and the pH is 3.03. Calculate the acid dissociation consta

NeX [460]

Answer:

4.1x10⁻⁵

Explanation:

The dissociation of an acid is a reversible reaction, and, because of that, it has an equilibrium constant, Ka. For a generic acid (HA), the dissociation happens by:

HA ⇄ H⁺ + A⁻

So, if x moles of the acid dissociates, x moles of H⁺ and x moles of A⁻ is formed. the percent of dissociation of the acid is:

% = (dissociated/total)*100%

4.4% = (x/[HA])*100%

But x = [A⁻], so:

[A⁻]/[HA] = 0.044

The pH of the acid can be calcualted by the Handersson-Halsebach equation:

pH = pKa + log[A⁻]/[HA]

3.03 = pKa + log 0.044

pKa = 3.03 - log 0.044

pKa = 4.39

pKa = -logKa

logKa = -pKa

Ka = $10^{-pKa}$

Ka = $10^{-4.39}$

Ka = 4.1x10⁻⁵
