Answer:

Electronegativity refers to the ability of an atom to attract shared electrons in a covalent bond. The higher the value of the electronegativity, the more strongly that element attracts the shared electrons.

Which of these conjugate acid-base pairs will not function as a buffer?A) HNO3 and NO3^-B) HCO3^- and CO3^2-C) C2H5COOH and C2H5
marin [14]
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>

A) HNO3 and NO3^-

<h3><u>Explanation;</u></h3>
  • <em><u>HNO3 is a strong  acid and NO3 is its conjugate base, meaning it will not have any tendency to withdraw H+ from solution.</u></em>
  • Buffers are often prepared by mixing a weak acid or base with a salt of that weak acid or base.
  • The buffers resist changes in pH since they contain acids to neutralize OH- and a base to neutralize H+. Acid and base can not consume each other in neutralization reaction.

After mixing an excess PbCl2 with a fixed amount of water, it is found that the equilibrium concentration of Pb2 is
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

Ksp = 8.8x10⁻⁵

Explanation:

<em>Full question is:</em>

<em>After mixing an excess PbCl2 with a fixed amount of water, it is found that the equilibrium concentration of Pb2+ is 2.8 × 10–2 M. What is Ksp for PbCl2?</em>

<em />

When an excess of PbCl₂ is added to water, Pb²⁺ and Cl⁻ ions are produced following Ksp equilibrium:

PbCl₂(s) ⇄ Pb²⁺ + 2Cl⁻

Ksp = [Pb²⁺] [Cl⁻]²

If an excess of PbCl₂ was added, an amount of Pb²⁺ is produced (X) and twice Pb²⁺ is produced as Cl⁻ (2X):

Ksp = [X] [2X]²

Ksp = 4X³

As X is the amount of Pb²⁺ = 2.8x10⁻²M:

Ksp = 4(2.8x10⁻²)³

<h3>Ksp = 8.8x10⁻⁵</h3>

What is diabetes? How does it disrupt normal cellular activities? What are the overall consequences for your body?
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

Diabetes is a group of diseases that affect how your body uses blood sugar (glucose). Glucose is vital to your health because it's an important source of energy for the cells. Cells are everywhere including the blood, bones and muscles. When you have diabetes, you don’t have enough insulin in your blood (an organ in your body called the pancreas makes insulin). Insulin controls the movement of blood sugar into the cells of the body.

A student is doing an experiment to determine the effects of temperature on an object. He writes down that the initial temperatu
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

1) The Kelvin temperature cannot be negative

2) The Kelvin degree is written as K, not ºK

Explanation:

The temperature of an object can be written using different temperature scales.

The two most important scales are:

- Celsius scale: the Celsius degree is indicated with ºC. It is based on the freezing point of water (placed at 0ºC) and the boiling point of water (100ºC).

- Kelvin scale: the Kelvin is indicated with K. it is based on the concept of "absolute zero" temperature, which is the temperature at which matter stops moving, and it is placed at zero Kelvin (0 K), so this scale cannot have negative temperatures, since 0 K is the lowest possible temperature.

The expression to convert from Celsius degrees to Kelvin is:

T(K)=T(^{\circ}C)+273.15

Therefore  in this problem, since the student reported a temperature of -3.5 ºK, the errors done are:

1) The Kelvin temperature cannot be negative

2) The Kelvin degree is written as K, not ºK
