Answer: The cleaning spray might have containing alcohol.

Explanation:

Some alcohol have the tendency to give an explosive effect on heating. According to the given situation, if the cleaning fluid is containing alcohol and when it had been exposed to air, oxygen and sun heat it will become unstable by producing peroxides which can explode the can in which they have been stored. So, in the given situation, the cleaning spray containing alcohol will explode due to intense heat.

What are fluids? Why are they so called?​
navik [9.2K]

Answer:

<em>Liquids and gases are called fluids because they can be made to flow, or move.</em>

<em> In any fluid, the molecules themselves are in constant, random motion, colliding with each other and with the walls of any container.</em><em> </em><em>So</em><em> </em><em>that</em><em> </em><em>they're</em><em> </em><em>called</em><em> </em><em>fluids</em><em>.</em>

The value of Ka for phenol (a weak acid), C6H5OH, is 1.00×10-10. Write the equation for the reaction that goes with this equilib
I am Lyosha [343]

Answer:

Ka=\frac{[C_6H_5O^-][H^+]}{[C_6H_5OH]}

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, weak acids are characterized by the fact they do not dissociate completely, it means they do not divide into the conjugated base and acid at all, a percent only, which is quantified via equilibrium. In such a way, the chemical equation representing such incomplete dissociation is said to be:

C_6H_5OH\rightleftharpoons C_6H_5O^-+H^+

Thus, we can write the law of mass action, which consider the equilibrium concentrations of all the involved species, which is also known as the acid dissociation constant which accounts for the capacity the acid has to yield hydronium ions:

K=Ka=\frac{[C_6H_5O^-][H^+]}{[C_6H_5OH]}

Best regards.
