A student needs to convert a volume of 3 Tbsp (tablespoons) to mL. The student finds out that 1 tablespoon is equivalent to 14.7
garri49 [273]

Answer:

The conversion factor is 14.79 mL/Tbsp.

Explanation:

To do an unity conversiton, we can make a factor by a ratio transformation:

3 Tbsp * \frac{14.79 mL}{1Tbsp}

So, the conversion factor is 14.79 mL/Tbsp and 3 Tbsp has 44.37 mL.

Consider this reaction:
Brilliant_brown [7]

Answer : The oxidation state of Mg in Mg(s) is (0).

Explanation :

Oxidation number or oxidation state : It represent the number of electrons lost or gained by the atoms of an element in a compound.

Oxidation numbers are generally written with the sign (+) and (-) first and then the magnitude.

Rules for Oxidation Numbers are :

The oxidation number of a free element is always zero.

The oxidation number of a monatomic ion equals the charge of the ion.

The oxidation number of  Hydrogen (H)  is +1, but it is -1 in when combined with less electronegative elements.

The oxidation number of  oxygen (O)  in compounds is usually -2.

The oxidation number of a Group 17 element in a binary compound is -1.

The sum of the oxidation numbers of all of the atoms in a neutral compound is zero.

The sum of the oxidation numbers in a polyatomic ion is equal to the charge of the ion.

The given chemical reaction is:

Mg(s)+2H_2O(l)\rightarrow Mg(OH)_2(s)+H_2(g)

In the given reaction, the oxidation state of Mg in Mg(s) is (0) because it is a free element and the oxidation state of Mg in Mg(OH)_2 is (+2).

Hence, the oxidation state of Mg in Mg(s) is (0).

Acetic acid is a weak acid with a pKa of 4.76. What is the concentration of acetate in a buffer solution of 0.2M at pH 4.9. Give
Ghella [55]

Answer:

[base]=0.28M

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, by using the Henderson-Hasselbach equation one can compute the concentration of acetate, which acts as the base, as shown below:

pH=pKa+log(\frac{[base]}{[acid]} )\\\\\frac{[base]}{[acid]}=10^{pH-pKa}\\\\\frac{[base]}{[acid]}=10^{4.9-4.76}\\\\\frac{[base]}{[acid]}=1.38\\\\

[base]=1.38[acid]=1.38*0.20M=0.28M

Regards.

Can two organisms belong to the same family but different classes? Explain.
slega [8]
This information is correct. This is because the order of classification is domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, species. Since class comes before family, the two organisms could be in the same class, but then when you specify further, they could be in different families.
