Answer:

FALSE ...

Explanation:

However, unlike plants, fungi do not contain the green pigment chlorophyll and therefore are incapable of photosynthesis. That is, they cannot generate their own food — carbohydrates — by using energy from light. This makes them more like animals in terms of their food habits

Given pH = 8.55 Find: [H3O+] and [OH-] Is this acidic, basic or neutral?

Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

The given pH = 8.55

Unknown:

[H₃O⁺] = ?

[OH⁻] = ?

In order to find these unknowns we must first establish some relationship.

pH = -log[H₃O⁺]

8.55 = -log[H₃O⁺]

[H₃O⁺] = inverse log₁₀(-8.55) = 2.82 x 10⁻⁹moldm⁻³

To find the [OH⁻],

pH + pOH = 14

pOH = 14 - pH = 14 - 8.55

pOH = 5.45

pOH = -log[OH⁻]

[OH⁻] = inverse log₁₀ (-5.45) = 3.55 x 10⁻⁶moldm⁻³

The solution is basic because it has more concentration of OH⁻ ions compared to H⁺ ions.

Which of the following elements is a nonmetal? a. selenium (Se) b. yttrium (Y) c. barium (Ba) d. calcium (Ca) e. All of these ar

san4es73 [151]

Answer:

The correct answer option is a. Selenium (Se).

Explanation:

From the given answer options, Selenium (Se) is the only element which is a non metal.

It has the atomic number 34 with atomic weight 78.96. It is a member of the sulfur group of the non metallic elements and falls in period 4 of the Periodic table.

Selenium has non metallic properties which are intermediate between the elements that lie above and below it in the Periodic table.

Show how water can serve as a base by showing the chemical equation of water reacting with hydrochloric acid. g

goldfiish [28.3K]

So, water reacts with hydrochloric acid in the following formula

H2O + HCl —-> H3O+ + Cl-

We can visualize that when the two react, the hydrogen ions is taken on by the water molecule. This satisfies one of the definitions for a base

Bronsted acids = anything that donates a proton (H+ ion)

Bronsted bases = anything that accepts a proton (H+ ion)

So, as we can see, that is exactly what is happening. The Cl- and H+ detach and then the water takes on that extra H+.

H3O+ is what we call a hydronium ion

Calculate the second volumes. 51.7 L at 27 C and 90.9 KPa to STP

Arturiano [62]

The second volume : 42.2 L

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

51.7 L at 27 C and 90.9 KPa

Required

The second volume

Solution

STP = P₂=1 atm, T₂=273 K

T₁ = 27 + 273 = 300 K

P₁ = 90.9 kPa = 0,897 atm

Use combine gas law :

P₁V₁/T₁ = P₂V₂/T₂

Input the value :

0.897 x 51.7/300 = 1 x V₂/273

V₂= 42.20 L

What is the empirical formula of a compound containing 5.03 grams carbon, 0.42 grams hydrogen, and 44.5 grams chlorine?

PtichkaEL [24]

Answer:

The right choice is CHCl₃

Explanation:

To find the empirical formula firstly, change the mass to moles.

For Carbon :

no. of moles = (mass / molar mass) = (5.03 g / 12 g/mol )= 0.42 mol

For Hydrogen :

no. of moles = (mass / molar mass) = (0.42 g / 1 g/mol )= 0.42 mol

For Chlorine :

no. of moles = (mass / molar mass) = (44.5 g / 35.5 g/mol )= 1.25 mol

The ratio for Carbon and Hydrogen is 1 : 1

0.42 mol / 042 mol =1.00

Then find a ratio between the moles.

The ratio of Chlorine to both Carbon and Hydrogen is 3:1

1.25 mol / 0.42 mol = 2.98 ≅ 3

So the ratio is 1 C : 1 H : 3 Cl.

So, the right choice is CHCl₃

Carbon usually forms four bonds one to Hydrogen and 3 to Chlorine atoms.

Chlorine usually forms one bond to Carbon atom.

Hydrogen usually forms one bond Carbon atom.
