In chemical reactions the reactants are on the left side of the equation and the product are on the right
Water is one of the few substances which expand in volume when frozen, compared to liquid. Usually substances condense when cooled, but at the point of freezing, when liquid water becomes solid ice, the molecules lock into a matrix in which there is more space between molecules - ice expands! This is why ice floats on liquid water.
It is this miracle which has shaped the planet and allowed life to thrive. Expansion of ice is responsible for much land-shaping erosion on land, the heaving off of boulders from mountain tops. And the floating of ice on lakes, rivers and oceans - if the frozen water was indeed more dense than liquid water, it would sink and pile up in the cold depths. There would be no life thriving under the ice, overwintering. It would all eventually freeze solid, and all the life forms with it.
I think its 2-, it gained 2 electrons.
To work out the kinetic energy of an object, you use the formula:
E = 0.5 x (mass) x (velocity)^2
One important thing, though. The units MUST be consistent. Mass needs to be in kilograms, and velocity in metres per second.
To convert the mass form grams to kilograms, we need to divide it by 1000, getting 0.0103 kg. Since the velocity is already in the units we need, we can just plug the numbers into the equation to get:
E = 0.5 x (0.0103 kg) x (48.0)^2 = 11.8656 J = 11.9 J, to 3 significant figures
Hope I helped! xx
Answer:
HX (aq) + H₂O (l) ⇄ H₃O⁺ (aq) + X⁻ (aq)
Acid Base Conj. acid Conj. base
Explanation:
The equation is:
HX (aq) + H₂O (l) ⇄ H₃O⁺ (aq) + X⁻ (aq)
This is the typical equilibrium for a weak acid. It would complete if we notice the Ka.
HX (aq) + H₂O (l) ⇄ H₃O⁺ (aq) + X⁻ (aq) Ka
1 mol of hypothetic HX acid react to 1 mol of water in order to release a proton and make hydronium and generate the X⁻ anion.
HX will be the acid, in this case a weak one and water will be the base. Water is able to accept a proton to make itslef hydronium
Hydronium is the conjugate acid.
The X⁻ will be the conjugate strong base.
This ion can generate the acid form again, that's why it is strong, because it can make hydrolisis.
X⁻ (aq) + H₂O (l) ⇄ HX (aq) + OH⁻(aq) Kb
In this case, the anion will be the conjugate base which it takes a proton from water (acid form) to make a conjugate acid, the HX and a conjugate base, OH⁻
