Answer:

An opinion is a statement describing a personal belief or thought that cannot be tested (or has not been tested) and is unsupported by evidence. ... Theories are not described as true or right, but as the best-supported explanation of the world based on evidence.

Pls help me. Show proof on why it’s that answer.

The answer is “the sustainability of the ecosystem” because if the ecosystem isn’t sustainable enough for many different organisms to live in it then the biological diversity of the ecosystem will decrease.

Draw the lewis structure for bef2 in the box at the right, including lone pairs.

Kamila [148]

Answer :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and the unpaired electrons present in the molecule.

The given molecule is, $BeF_2$

Beryllium has '2' valence electrons and fluorine has '7' valence electrons. Beryllium is the central atom and fluorine is the terminal atom.

Total number valence electrons in $BeF_2$ = 2 + 2(7) = 16

According to the Lewis-dot structure, there are '4' number of bonding electrons and 12 number of non-bonding electrons (lone-pair).

The Lewis-dot structure is shown below.

Calculate the maximum volume (in mL) of 0.143 M HCl that each of the following antacid formulations would be expected to neutral

Nuetrik [128]

Answer:

a. The maximum volume of 0.143 M HCl required is 154.4 mL.

b. The maximum volume of 0.143 M HCl required is 135.7 mL.

Explanation:

$Al(OH)_3+3HCl\rightarrow AlCl_3+3H_2O$

Mass of aluminum hydroxide = 350 mg = 0.350 g ( 1mg = 0.001 g)

Moles of aluminum hydroxide = $\frac{0.350 g}{78 g/mol}=0.004487 mol$

According to reaction ,3 moles of HCl neutralize 1 mole of aluminum hydroxide.Then 0.004487 mole of aluminum hydroxide will be neutralize by :

$\frac{3}{1}\times 0.004487 mol=0.01346 mol$ of HCl.

$Mg(OH)_2+2HCl\rightarrow MgCL_2+2H_2O$

Mass of magnesium hydroxide = 250 mg = 0.250 g ( 1mg = 0.001 g)

Moles of magnesium hydroxide = $\frac{0.250 g}{58 g/mol}=0.004310 mol$

According to reaction ,2 moles of HCl neutralize 1 mole of magnesium hydroxide.Then 0.004310 mole of magnesium hydroxide will be neutralize by :

$\frac{2}{1}\times 0.004310 mol=0.008621 mol$ of HCl.

Total moles of HCl required to neutralize both :

0.01346 mol + 0.008621 mol = 0.02208 mol

Molarity of the HCL solution = 0.143 M

Volume of the solution = V

$Molarity=\frac{\text{Total moles of HCl}{\text{Volume in Liter}}$

$V=\frac{0.02208 mol}{0.143 M}=0.1544 L$

1 L = 1000 mL

0.1544 L = 154.4 mL

The maximum volume of 0.143 M HCl required is 154.4 mL.

$CaCO_3+2HCl\rightarrow CaCl_2+H_2O+CO_2$

Mass of calcium carbonate = 970mg = 0.970 g ( 1mg = 0.001 g)

Moles of calcium carbonate = $\frac{0.970 g}{100 g/mol}=0.00970 mol$

According to reaction ,2 moles of HCl neutralize 1 mole of calcium carbonate.Then 0.00970 mole of calcium carbonate will be neutralize by :

$\frac{2}{1}\times 0.00970 mol=0.0194 mol$ of HCl.

Total moles of HCl required to neutralize calcium carbonate : 0.0194 mol

Molarity of the HCL solution = 0.143 M

Volume of the solution = V

$Molarity=\frac{\text{Total moles of HCl}}{\text{Volume in Liter}}$

$V=\frac{0.0194 mol}{0.143 M}=0.1357 L$

1 L = 1000 mL

0.1357 L = 135.7 mL

The maximum volume of 0.143 M HCl required is 135.7 mL.
