Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. However, I assumed you are referring to the article found on the Scientific American website.
Explanation:
<em>Remember,</em> according to that article we are told that scientists notice that these insects have a long nymphal (immature form before becoming adults) stage, one that can last up to 13 to 17 years on the ground before they leave the ground looking for mating partners.
Because it is only after mating occurs at this point that their eggs are laid, that is why scientists believe that cicadas only reproduce every 13 or 17 years.
Combination
Hope this helps :)
Answer:
CH₃CO₂H + H₂O ⇄ CH₃CO₂⁻ + H₃O⁺
Explanation:
A buffer is defined as the mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base or vice versa.
For the acetic acid buffer, CH₃CO₂H is the weak acid and its conjugate base is the ion without H⁺, that is CH₃CO₂⁻. The equilibrium equation in water knowing this is:
<h3>CH₃CO₂H + H₂O ⇄ CH₃CO₂⁻ + H₃O⁺</h3>
<em>In the equilibrium, the acid is dissociated in the conjugate base and the hydronium ion.</em>
This is a double replacement reaction; the ions switch twice.
The Texas City Refinery explosion occurred on March 23, 2005, when a hydrocarbon vapor cloud was ignited and violently exploded at the ISOM isomerization process unit at BP's Texas City refinery in Texas City, Texas, killing 15 workers, injuring 180 others and severely damaging the refinery.
