Answer:

It's too far away

Explanation:

According to classical mechanics, gravitational pull is inversely proportional to the distance squared; as the distance increases, the gravitational pull decreases at a faster and faster rate. Since Alpha Centauri A is a few lightyears (Tens of trillions of kilometers away), without even needing to calculate the force of gravity, it is very miniscule.

Identify and label the Brønsted-Lowry acid, its conjugate base, the Brønsted-Lowry base, and its conjugate acid in each of the f

julia-pushkina [17]

Explanation:

As per Brønsted-Lowry concept of acids and bases, chemical species which donate proton are called Brønsted-Lowry acids.

The chemical species which accept proton are called Brønsted-Lowry base.

(a) $HNO_3 + H_2O \rightarrow H_3O^+ + NO_3^-$

$HNO_3$ is Bronsted lowry acid and $NO_3^-$ is its conjugate base.

$H_2O$ is Bronsted lowry base and $H_3O^+$ is its conjugate acid.

(b)

$CN^- + H_2O \rightarrow HCN + OH^-$

$CN^-$ is Bronsted lowry base and HCN is its conjugate acid.

$H_2O$ is Bronsted lowry acid and $OH^-$ is its conjugate base.

(c)

$H_2SO_4 + Cl^- \rightarrow HCl + HSO_4^-$

$H_2SO_4$ is Bronsted lowry acid and $HSO_4^-$ is its conjugate base.

Cl^- is Bronsted lowry base and HCl is its conjugate acid.

(d)

$HSO_4^-+OH^- \rightarrow SO_4^{2-}+H_2O$

$HSO_4^-$ is Bronsted lowry acid and $SO_4^{2-}$ is its conjugate base.

OH^- is Bronsted lowry base and $H_2O$ is its conjugate acid.

(e)

$O_{2-}+H_2O \rightarrow 2OH^-$

$O_{2-}$ is Bronsted lowry base and OH- is its conjugate acid.

$H_2O$ is Bronsted lowry acid and OH- is its conjugate base.

Explain how water might have two different densities

MrMuchimi

Answer:

I think this is it

Water can have two different densities if it has substances dissolved in it. ... When liquid water freezes it becomes solid water or ice, which is less dense than liquid water. The fact that solid water (ice) is less dense than liquid water is evident in the way ice floats in a glass of water.

Consider the following data for five hypothetical elements: Q, W, X, Y, and Z. Rank the elements from most reactive to least rea

Natalka [10]

Answer:

Y, Q, W, Z and X

Y > Q > W > Z > X

Explanation:

To know the most reactive element, the element will be able to displace other metal in it compound. We also have to observe if the reaction occur. If the reaction didn't occur, that means the element is not reactive than the metal found in the other reactant. Invariably their will be no displacement.

Q + w+ Reaction occurs

Q element displace the metal w in it compound . This means Q is more reactive.

x +z+ No reaction

No reaction here. This means x is less reactive than z as it couldn't displace z in it compound.

w + z+ Reaction occurs

w is more reactive than z as it displaces z in it compound.

Q+ + Y Reaction occurs

Y is more reactive than Q as it displaces Q in it compounds.

Therefore, the most reactive to the least reactive is arrange as follows.

Y, Q, W, Z and X
