Answer:
True
Explanation:
The desert refers to a region of arid land which is characterized by extreme temperatures, extreme dryness, low amount of precipitation and generally harsh living conditions. Because of these harsh conditions, they have been tagged with various names ranging from 'Death Valley' to 'the place from where there is no return' etc.
Every desert is made up of 2 components: the <u>biotic (living) component</u> and the <u>abiotic (non-living) component</u>. The biotic (living) component consists of the plants and animals that have adapted to these harsh living conditions e.g. Cactus or Cacti, Holly plants, Camels, Lizards, Snakes etc. The abiotic (non-living) component consists of climate (subtropical deserts which are extremely cold or temperate deserts which are extremely hot), location, precipitation/rainfall
Answer:
pH =3.8
Explanation:
Lets call the monoprotic weak acid HA, the dissociation equilibria in water will be:
HA + H₂O ⇄ H₃O⁺ + A⁻ with Ka = [ H₃O⁺] x [A⁻]/ [HA]
The pH is the negative log of the H₃O⁺ concentration, we know the equilibrium constant, Ka and the original acid concentration. So we will need to find the [H₃O⁺] to solve this question.
In order to do that lets set up the ICE table helper which accounts for the species at equilibrium:
HA H₃O⁺ A⁻
Initial, M 0.40 0 0
Change , M -x +x +x
Equilibrium, M 0.40 - x x x
Lets express these concentrations in terms of the equilibrium constant:
Ka = x² / (0.40 - x )
Now the equilibrium constant is so small ( very little dissociation of HA ) that is safe to approximate 0.40 - x to 0.40,
7.3 x 10⁻⁶ = x² / 0.40 ⇒ x = √( 7.3 x 10⁻⁶ x 0.40 ) = 1.71 x 10⁻³
[H₃O⁺] = 1.71 x 10⁻³
Indeed 1.71 x 10⁻³ is small compared to 0.40 (0.4 %). To be a good approximation our value should be less or equal to 5 %.
pH = - log ( 1.71 x 10⁻³ ) = 3.8
Note: when the aprroximation is greater than 5 % we will need to solve the resulting quadratic equation.
Answer: About 0.20 grams of copper (II) is formed, and some aluminum is left in the reaction mixture
No, their specific heats are different. For water, and ice
