Answer:

Please mark me brainliest. the answer is

Explanation:

The problem is that the desalination of water requires a lot of energy. Salt dissolves very easily in water, forming strong chemical bonds, and those bonds are difficult to break. Energy and the technology to desalinate water are both expensive, and this means that desalinating water can be pretty costly.

What should you be careful of when measuring the temperature of a liquid in a beaker

andrezito [222]

The precaution to be taken while measuring the temperature of a liquid in a beaker is applying proper heat balance and taking all the required precautions.

A beaker with an open top contains a sample of liquid. It exposes this sample to light.
That liquid absorbs the light energy, turning it into heat energy. As a result, the liquid becomes warmer and evaporation is accelerated. As a result, there is less liquid in the beaker.
Since it is well known that the surface temperature of a liquid, along with air movement above the liquid surface, is one of the dominant factors affecting evaporation, I want to measure the evaporation rate as a function of surface temperature.
This can be done by applying a heat balance.

Calculate the molar solubility of silver(i) bromate with ksp = 5. 5×10-5. also, convert the molar solubility to the solubility.

Sindrei [870]

The molar solubility is 7.4× $10^{-3}$ M and the solubility is 7.4× $10^{-3}$ g/L .

Calculation ,

The dissociation of silver bromide is given as ,

$AgBr$ → $Ag ^{+}$ + $Br^{-}$

- S S

Ksp = [ $Ag ^{+}$ ] [ $Br^{-}$ ] = [S] [ S ] = $S^{2}$

S = √ Ksp = √ 5. 5× $10^{-5}$ = 7.4× $10^{-3}$

The solubility =7.4× $10^{-3}$ g/L

The molar solubility is the solubility of one mole of the substance.

Since , one mole of $AgBr$ is dissociates and form one mole of each $Ag ^{+}$ and $Br^{-}$ ion . So, solubility is equal to molar solubility but unit is different.

Molar solubility = 7.4× $10^{-3}$ mol/L = 7.4× $10^{-3}$ M

For the reaction H2PO4- HAsO4 2-HPO4 2-+H2AsO4- <br> what species are a conjugate acid-base pair?

aleksklad [387]

Ionic equation:

$\text{H}_2\text{PO}_4^{-} + \text{HAsO}_4^{2-} \to \text{HPO}_4^{2-} + \text{H}_2\text{AsO}_4^{-}$

The acid and base in a conjugate pair differ by only one proton $\text{H}^{+}$ . The acid loses one proton to produce a conjugate base, whereas the base gains a proton to produce its conjugate acid.

$\text{H}_2\text{PO}_4^{-}$ loses one proton to produce $\text{HPO}_4^{2-}$ in this reaction.

$\text{H}_2\text{PO}_4^{-} \to \text{H}^{+} + \text{HPO}_4^{2-}$

Meanwhile, $\text{HAsO}_4^{2-}$ gains one proton to form $\text{H}_2\text{AsO}_4^{-}$ .

$\text{HAsO}_4^{2-} + \text{H}^{+} \to \text{H}_2\text{AsO}_4^{-}$

Therefore

$\text{H}_2\text{PO}_4^{-}$ is the conjugate acid $\text{HPO}_4^{2-}$ , its conjugate base.
$\text{HAsO}_4^{2-}$ is the conjugate base of $\text{H}_2\text{AsO}_4^{-}$ , its conjugate acid.

Which of the following are held together by nonpolar convalent bonds?

Olin [163]

A. Atoms of chlorine (Cl)

Explanation:

The atoms of chlorine are held together by non-polar covalent bonds.

Covalent bonds are formed between two or more atoms having zero or very small electronegativity difference.
For homonuclear molecules where the two bonding atom are of the same kind, the electronegativity difference is zero.
This covalent bond type is called non-polar covalent bond.
In this bond type, there is equal sharing of the electron pair between the atoms and there is no electrostatic charge on the molecule.
