Answer: Heat dissipation mechanism
Explanation: Heat dissipation mechanism is a thermoregulatory response in humans whereby the hypothalamus of the brain initiates certain processes to reduce the high body temperature. Eg, sweating is initiated which helps cool down the body temperature, also superficial arteries are dilated, thereby leading to flushing and decreasing heatloss into the air. And metabolic heat production is also reduced.
Answer:
Explained below
Explanation:
When we heat a liquid, what happens is that the molecules of the liquid will absorb heat and thus develop kinetic energy that will make them move faster.
Now, as the liquid begins to boil, bubbles of will be formed inside the liquid and then rises to the surface. Now, when the temperature of the reaches 100°C which is the boiling point of a liquid, the molecules at the top of the liquid begin to change to gaseous state and escape in form of vapour.
Answer:
C. Cs < K < P
Explanation:
Electronegativity is the basically the tendency of an atom to attract electrons. The pauling scale is used to quantify electronegativity, the most electronegative element; fluorine has a value of 4.0 and francium, the least electronegative element has a value of 0.7
The electronegative values of the following elements are given as;
K = 0.82
Cs =0.79
P = 2.19
Arranging in order of increasing electronegativity, we have;
Cs < K < P. The correct option is;
C. Cs < K < P
Answer:
Hydrofluoric acid.
Explanation:
To know which of the acid is the strongest, let us determine the pka of each acid. This is illustrated below:
1. Acetic acid
Ka = 1.8x10^-5
pKa =..?
pKa = –logKa
pKa = –Log 1.8x10^-5
pKa = 4.74
2. Benzoic acid
Ka = 6.5x10^-5
pKa =..?
pKa = –logKa
pKa = –Log 6.5x10^-5
pKa = 4.18
3. Hydrofluoric acid.
Ka = 6.8x10^-4
pKa =..?
pKa = –logKa
pKa = –Log 6.8x10^-4
pKa = 3.17
4. Hypochlorous acid
Ka = 3.0x10^-8
pKa =..?
pKa = –logKa
pKa = –Log 3.0x10^-8
pKa = 7.52
Note: the smaller the pKa value, the stronger the acid.
The pka of the various acids as calculated above is given below:
Acid >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> pKa
1. Acetic acid >>>>>>>>>> 4.74
2. Benzoic acid >>>>>>>> 4.18
3. Hydrofluoric acid >>>> 3.17
4. Hypochlorous acid >> 7.52
From the above illustration, we can see that hydrofluoric acid has the lowest pKa value. Therefore, hydrofluoric acid is the strongest among them.
