Explanation:

protons.

An acid can also be thought of as a chemical that can neutralize a base. Similarly, a base can neutralize an acid.

Acids turn litmus paper red, while bases make litmus paper turn blue.

Some examples of acids are sulfuric acid, hydrochloric acid, nitric acid, and so on. Some examples of bases are sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, and so on.

Acids generally taste sour, while bases have a bitter taste.

Alkalis are the bases that are water-soluble, which means that they dissolve in water. In other words, not all bases are water-soluble, and only the water-soluble bases are known as alkalis. An example of an alkali is sodium hydroxide. It is a base because it can neutralize an acid, and because it is water-soluble, it is an alkali. An example of a base that is not alkali is copper oxide. This chemical can neutralize an acid, but it is insoluble in water.

In other words, all alkali are bases but not all bases are alkalis.

Also, an alkali has a hydroxide group, while a base has an oxide group in it.

According to Newton's third law, forces come in pairs. There is_____and an equal and opposite_____.

hichkok12 [17]

According to Newton's third law, forces come in pairs. There is action-reaction force and an equal (in size - action force) and opposite in direction (reaction force).

<u>Explanation:</u>

On the off chance, when item A applies a force on item B, at that point item B must apply a force of equivalent size and inverse bearing back on object A. This Newton's third law speaks to a specific balance in nature: forces consistently happen two by two.

And, one body can't apply a force on another without encountering a force itself. Now and again, allude to this law freely as activity response, where the force applied is the activity and the force experienced as a result is the response.

Given that a for HBrO is 2. 8×10^−9 at 25°C. What is the value of b for BrO− at 25°C?

lara [203]

If Ka for HBrO is 2. 8×10^−9 at 25°C, then the value of Kb for BrO− at 25°C is 3.5× 10^(-6).

<h3>What is base dissociation constant? </h3>

The base dissociation constant (Kb) is defined as the measurement of the ions which base can dissociate or dissolve in the aqueous solution. The greater the value of base dissociation constant greater will be its basicity an strength.

The dissociation reaction of hydrogen cyanide can be given as

HCN --- (H+) + (CN-)

Given,

The value of Ka for HCN is 2.8× 10^(-9)

The correlation between base dissociation constant and acid dissociation constant is

Kw = Ka × Kb

Kw = 10^(-14)

Substituting values of Ka and Kw,

Kb = 10^(-14) /{2.8×10^(-9) }

= 3.5× 10^(-6)

Thus, we find that if Ka for HBrO is 2. 8×10^−9 at 25°C, then the value of Kb for BrO− at 25°C is 3.5× 10^(-6).

DISCLAIMER: The above question have mistake. The correct question is given as

The respiration rate of a goldfish is measured. The goldfish is then placed in cold water and the respiration rate is measured a

Ivenika [448]

Answer:

Temperature of the water

Explanation:

In every study, there must be independent and dependent variables. An independent variable is the variable that is changed in order to obtain a response. In this case, the temperature of the water is being changed, the response in this experiment is the respiration rate of the goldfish.

Thus the respiration rate of the goldfish is the dependent variable because it is controlled by the temperature of the water and changes accordingly.

Summarily, the independent variable is the temperature of the water while the dependent variable is the respiration rate of the goldfish.
