I think that the answer is C.)

It makes the most sense because one or two of the other options talk about the sun getting closer to the earth which makes no sense. Also, the Earth's spinning speed does not slow down so that rules out option B. Lastly, the answer cannot be A whereas the sun's light does not fade, rather the Earth spins with a shadow casting over its back due to no sunlight on that facing side.

Hope this helps and have a nice day.

When you put an ice cube into a glass of room temperature water, why does the water get cold?

mel-nik [20]

The water gets cold because the ice cube is endothermic. Which means it takes in heat. It takes the warmth from the water and melts the ice cube which the ice cube releases coldness which cools down the water.

What happens to blood cells if there is too much sugar in the blood stream?

Crank

Hyperglycemia is when blood sugar levels are always higher, only happens when insulin doesn’t respond properly. Without insulin glucose can’t get into cells and so it builds up in the bloodstream.

1. A 99.8 mL sample of a solution that is 12.0% KI by mass (d: 1.093 g/mL) is added to 96.7 mL of another solution that is 14.0%

Tatiana [17]

Answer:

The mass of PbI2 will be 18.2 grams

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume solution = 99.8 mL = 0.0998 L

mass % KI = 12.0 %

Density = 1.093 g/mL

Volume of the other solution = 96.7 mL = 0.967 L

mass % of Pb(NO3)2 = 14.0 %

Density = 1.134 g/mL

Step 2: The balanced equation

Pb(NO3)2(aq) + 2 KI(aq) ⇆ PbI2(s) + 2 KNO3(aq)

Step 3: Calculate mass

Mass = density * volume

Mass KI solution = 1.093 g/mL * 99.8 mL

Mass KI solution = 109.08 grams

Mass KI solution = 109.08 grams *0.12 = 13.09 grams

Mass of Pb(NO3)2 solution = 1.134 g/mL * 96.7 mL

Mass of Pb(NO3)2 solution = 109.66 grams

Mass of Pb(NO3)2 solution = 109.66 grams * 0.14 = 15.35 grams

Step 4: Calculate moles

Moles = mass / molar mass

Moles KI = 13.09 grams / 166.0 g/mol

Moles KI = 0.0789 moles

Moles Pb(NO3)2 = 15.35 grams / 331.2 g/mol

Moles Pb(NO3)2 = 0.0463 moles

Step 5: Calculate the limiting reactant

For 1 mol Pb(NO3)2 we need 2 moles KI to produce 1 mol PbI2 and 2 moles KNO3

Ki is the limiting reactant. It will completely be consumed ( 0.0789 moles). Pb(NO3)2 is in excess. There will react 0.0789/2 = 0.03945 moles. There will remain 0.0463 - 0.03945 = 0.00685 moles

Step 6: Calculate moles PbI2

For 1 mol Pb(NO3)2 we need 2 moles KI to produce 1 mol PbI2 and 2 moles KNO3

For 0.0789 moles KI we'll have 0.0789/2 = 0.03945 moles PbI2

Step 7: Calculate mass of PbI2

Mass PbI2 = moles PbI2 * molar mass PbI2

Mass PbI2 = 0.03945 moles * 461.01 g/mol

Mass PbI2 = 18.2 grams

In a 0.730 M solution, a weak acid is 12.5% dissociated. Calculate Ka of the acid.

Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

Approximately $1.30 \times 10^{-2}$ , assuming that this acid is monoprotic.

Explanation:

Assume that this acid is monoprotic. Let $\rm HA$ denote this acid.

$\rm HA \rightleftharpoons H^{+} + A^{-}$ .

Initial concentration of $\rm HA$ without any dissociation:

$[{\rm HA}] = 0.730\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1}$ .

After $12.5\%$ of that was dissociated, the concentration of both $\rm H^{+}$ and $\rm A^{-}$ (conjugate base of this acid) would become:

$12.5\% \times 0.730\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1} = 0.09125\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1}$ .

Concentration of $\rm HA$ in the solution after dissociation:

$(1 - 12.5\%) \times 0.730\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1} = 0.63875\; \rm mol\cdot L^{-1}$ .

Let $[{\rm HA}]$ , $[{\rm H}^{+}]$ , and $[{\rm A}^{-}]$ denote the concentration (in $\rm mol \cdot L^{-1}$ or $\rm M$ ) of the corresponding species at equilibrium. Calculate the acid dissociation constant $K_{\rm a}$ for $\rm HA$ , under the assumption that this acid is monoprotic:

$\begin{aligned}K_{\rm a} &= \frac{[{\rm H}^{+}] \cdot [{\rm A}^{-}]}{[{\rm HA}]} \\ &= \frac{(0.09125\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1}) \times (0.09125\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1})}{0.63875\; \rm mol \cdot L^{-1}}\\[0.5em]&\approx 1.30 \times 10^{-2} \end{aligned}$ .
