Chemistry

lions [1.4K]3 years ago

Answer:

ACIDIC

Explanation:

Usually beverages contain carbonated water. Carbonated water is the water containing dissolved carbon dioxide gas.

The carbon dioxide gas (CO₂) when dissolved in water produces carbonic acid (H₂CO₃), which makes the drinks acidic in nature.

H₂O(l) + CO₂(g) → H₂CO₃(aq)

This makes the pH of the drinks around 3 - 4.

Therefore, the beverages are usually acidic and not basic.

If the elastic modulus of cobalt (co) is 200 gpa, and the elastic modulus of tungsten carbide (wc) is 700 gpa, calculate the upp
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]
To determine the upper bond
Ec(u) = EmVm + EpVp
Em is the elastic modulus of cobalt.
E₁ is the elastic modulus of the particulate
Vm is the volume fraction of cobalt
Vp is the volume fraction of particulate
substitute
Ec(u) = 200 (Vm) + 700 (Vp)
To determine the lower bound
Ec (l) = EmEp/VmEp+ VpEm
Substitute
Ec (l) = 200(700)/Vm(700) + Vp (200)
Ec (l) = 1400/7Vm+2Vp

Gases and particles which are put into the air or emitted by various sources are called __________. photochemical smog emissions
Leto [7]
I would say the answer is emissions. These are the particles that are not supposed to be present in air but due to the production of different substances from humans daily activities these substances go with the air we breath. Hope this helped.

Which is the correct Lewis structure for carbon monoxide?
LuckyWell [14K]
<span>The Lewis structure for CO has 10 valence electrons. For the CO Lewis structure you'll need a triple bond between the Carbon and Oxygen atoms in order to satisfy the octets of each atom while still using the 10 valence electrons available for the CO molecule.</span>

If you wanted to protect water from freezing, which of the compounds below would accomplish this best. NaNO3, Mg(NO3)2, or Al(NO
Korvikt [17]
All of them are soluble salt.

First one dissociates into two ions.

The second one dissociates into 3 ions.

The third dissociate into 4 ions. therefore, Al(NO3)3
