Explanation:

Competition stems from the fact that resources are limited. There are simply not enough of some resources for all individuals to have equal access and supply. Competition can occur between organisms of the same species, or between members of different species.

For each of the acid–base reactions, calculate the mass (in grams) of each acid necessary to completely react with and neutraliz

LiRa [457]

Acid-base neutralization reaction is defined as reaction of acid with base to form corresponding salt and water. Strong acid and base completely neutralize each other.

(a) The acid base neutralization reaction is as follows:

$HCl(aq)+NaOH(aq)\rightarrow H_{2}O(l)+NaCl(g)$

From the above balanced chemical reaction, 1 mol of NaOH completely reacts with 1 mol of HCl. The mass of NaOH is given 4.85 g, convert this into number of moles as follows:

$n=\frac{m}{M}$

Molar mass of NaOH is 39.997 g/mol, thus,

$n=\frac{4.85 g}{39.997 g/mol}=0.121 mol$

Thus, 0.121 mol of NaOH reacts with same amount of HCl and number of moles of HCl will be 0.121 mol.

Since. molar mass of HCl is 36.46 g/mol, thus, mass can be calculated as follows:

$m=n\times M=0.121 mol\times 36.46 g/mol=4.421 g$

Therefore, 4.421 g of HCl completely reacts with 4.85 g of NaCl.

(b) The acid base neutralization reaction is as follows:

$2HNO_{3}(aq)+Ca(OH)_{2}(aq)\rightarrow 2H_{2}O(l)+Ca(NO_{3})_{2}(aq)$

From the above balanced chemical reaction, 1 mol of $Ca(OH)_{2}$ completely reacts with 2 mol of $HNO_{3}$ . The mass of $Ca(OH)_{2}$ is given 4.85 g, convert this into number of moles as follows:

$n=\frac{m}{M}$

Molar mass of $Ca(OH)_{2}$ is 74.093 g/mol, thus,

$n=\frac{4.85 g}{74.093 g/mol}=0.06545 mol$

Thus, 0.06545 mol of $Ca(OH)_{2}$ reacts with $2\times 0.06545 mol=0.13091 mol$ of $HNO_{3}$

Since. molar mass of $HNO_{3}$ is 63.01 g/mol, thus, mass can be calculated as follows:

$m=n\times M=0.13091 mol\times 63.01 g/mol=8.25 g$

Therefore, 8.25 g of $HNO_{3}$ completely reacts with 4.85 g of $Ca(OH)_{2}$ .

$H_{2}SO_{4}(aq)+2 KOH (aq)\rightarrow 2H_{2}O(l)+K_{2}SO_{4}(aq)$

From the above balanced chemical reaction, 2 mol of KOH completely reacts with 1 mol of $H_{2}SO_{4}$ . The mass of KOH is given 4.85 g, convert this into number of moles as follows:

$n=\frac{m}{M}$

Molar mass of KOH is 56.1056 g/mol, thus,

$n=\frac{4.85 g}{56.1056 g/mol}=0.0864 mol$

Thus, 0.0864 mol of KOH reacts with $\frac{0.0864 mol}{2}=0.0432 mol$ of $H_{2}SO_{4}$

Since. molar mass of $H_{2}SO_{4}$ is 98.079 g/mol, thus, mass can be calculated as follows:

$m=n\times M=0.0432 mol\times 98.079 g/mol=4.24 g$

Therefore, 4.24 g of KOH completely reacts with 4.85 g of $H_{2}SO_{4}$ .

If a solution containing A+ ions and a solution containing B- ions have just been mixed and [A+][B-] is greater than Ksp of AB,

frozen [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

In the solution of AB , they are split to give ions as follows

AB ⇄ A⁺ + B⁻

Product of concentration of A⁺ and B⁻ in saturated solution of AB is constant .

This is called Ksp

Ksp = [A⁺] [ B⁻]

If product of concentration of A⁺ and B⁻ exceeds Ksp , the equilibrium shifts to the left side and excess ions come out of solution in the form of precipitate. So second option is the answer.

In a physical change of matter,

mel-nik [20]

Answer: C. no new substances are formed

In the physical change of matter, there is no new substance that is formed. It is only the appearance of the matter that is being changed and not its chemical composition. Cutting, tearing and grinding are only some of the examples that exhibit physical change.

Explain why constructive and destructive forces are considered competing forces.

rodikova [14]

Used mainly in the context of Geography a Constructive force is involved in making new land while a Destructive force breaks the land. As they are carrying opposite functions to one another they are considered as competing forces.
