Answer:
It is just slightly less abundant than its alkali cousin, sodium. Potassium is less dense than water, so it can float on water. However, chemically, potassium reacts with water violently. It will give off hydrogen and eventually catch fire.
Answer: subduction and sea floor spreading
Explanation:
He knew that the continents today were once joined together by fossil records of plants and animals that were found to be on continents far removed from each other. He knew this also by corresponding land forms that matches up as well. What he couldn’t prove is how the land masses would have moved so far away from each other. Subduction and sea floor spreading move the tectonic plates that the continents sit on. That’s what he was missing.
They use sequencing technology
Answer:
8.7 L
Explanation:
T2(V1/T1) = V2
417.15 K(6.2 L/296.45 K) = 8.7 L
Remember to almost always change celcius to kelvin. Also, this is part of Charle's Law (temp and volume are proportional, so if temp increaces so must the volume or vice versa). Lastly, Charle's Law has the formula of V1/T1 = V2/T2. I just rearranged it to go along with your problem. Hence, the T2(V1/T1) = V2
Answer:
The balanced chemical equation: NH₃ + 2 HF → NH₄⁺ + HF₂⁻
Explanation:
According to the Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory, the acid- base reaction is a type of chemical reaction between the acid and base to give a conjugate acid and a conjugate base.
In this reaction, a Brønsted–Lowry acid loses a proton to form a conjugate base. Whereas, a Brønsted–Lowry base accepts a proton to form a conjugate acid.
Acid + Base ⇌ Conjugate Base + Conjugate Acid
The acid dissociation constant (Kₐ) <em>signifies the acidic strength of a chemical species.</em>
∵ pKₐ = - log Kₐ
Thus for a strong acid, Kₐ value is large and pKₐ value is small.
pKₐ (HF) = 3.2 → strong acid
pKₐ (NH₃) = 38 → weak acid
<u>The chemical reaction involved in the dissolution process:</u>
NH₃ + 2 HF → NH₄⁺ + HF₂⁻
In this acid-base reaction, the acid HF reacts with NH₃ base to give the conjugate base HF₂⁻ and conjugate acid NH₄⁺.
<u>HF (acid) donates a proton to form the conjugate base, HF₂⁻ ion. NH₃ (base) accepts a proton to form the conjugate acid. </u>
