1. The conjugate acid-base pairs are HCl/Cl- and NH3/NH4+. They can be changed into one another by proton transfer.
2. The acid in the reaction is the molecule that has the lowest pKa value or (simply) gives their proton away the easiest. The pKa of HCl is around 3 I think while ammonia’s is around 35. This means HCl is the acid here. In the other reaction (backwards) you can see that NH4+ gives a proton to the chloride ion. To give a proton = acid. So the acids are HCl and NH4+ and the bases are NH3 and Cl-.
An important rule is: The stronger the acid/base, the weaker its conjugate base/acid.
Galena is an important economic mineral for lead. It's an important mineral as it serves as an ore for most of the world's lead production.
Answer:
A. Steep hillside, little vegetation, strong downpours
Explanation:
between a steep hill and a flat valley, the hill is more likely to be affected because of gravity. with a valley theres less places for the dirt to actually move to. So C and D are not correct
a lack of vegetation and heavy downpour is the perfect condition for erosion. plants' root system makes dirt and rock more stable. without a lot of roots to hold the dirt in place and absorb water before it runs over the rocks and breaks them down, heavy rain would be a lot more likely to erode the area. so B isnt right either
