Answer is: H₂CO₃.

This buffer is example of weak acid (H₂CO₃) and its conjugate base (HCO₃⁻).

Dissociation of carbonic acid: H₂CO₃(aq) ⇄ HCO₃⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq).

Adding acid: HCO₃⁻(aq) + H⁺(aq ⇄ H₂CO₃(aq).

A buffer can be defined as a substance that prevents the pH of a solution from changing by either releasing or absorbing H⁺ in a solution.  

Buffer is a solution that can resist pH change upon the addition of an acidic or basic components and it is able to neutralize small amounts of added acid or base, pH of the solution is relatively stable.

Buffer solution is made by mixing a weak acid with its conjugate base or weak base with its conjugate acid. NaHCO₃(aq) is a conjugate salt and also a conjugate base of H₂CO₃(aq) acid. Hence H₂CO₃(aq) should be added to make the buffer solution.

A 1.00 cm2 blackbody surface emits 201 watts of radiant power. What is the temperature of the surface? Give to the nearest whole
erastovalidia [21]

Explanation:

Formula for black body radiation is as follows.

                 \frac{P}{A} = \sigma \times T^{4} J/m^{2}s

where,       P = power emitted

                 A = surface area of black body

          \sigma = Stephen's constant = 5.6703 \times 10^{-8} watt/m^{2}.K^{-4}

As area is given as 1.0 cm^{2}. Converting it into meters as follows.

           1.00 cm^{2} \times \frac{(10^{-2})^{2} m^{2}}{1 cm^{2}}      (as 1 m = 100 cm)

            = 1 \times 10^{-4} m^{2}

It is given that P = 201 watts. Hence,  

       \frac{201 watts}{1 \times 10^{-4} m^{2}} = 5.6703 \times 10^{-8} watt/m^{2}.K^{-4} \times T^{4}

                T^{4} = 35.45 \times 10^{12}

                       T = (35.45 \times 10^{12})^{1/4}

                          = 8862.5 K

Thus, we can conclude that the temperature of the surface is 8862.5 K.

which term is used when sugar is completely dissolved in water                                                                 
GaryK [48]
The term which is used is homogeneous.
when sugar is completely dissolved in the water, the mixture or solution homogeneous, both in same phase and same uniform texture that is liquid.
There two types of mixtures are heterogeneous and homogeneous in different phases.
If sugar is not completely dissolved in water and you see the crystals of sugar in water, then the solution will be heterogeneous.
