Answer:

Explanation:

Trees rely on many abiotic factors in order to grow in a forest. Three of the most necessary ones for a tree's survival are CO2, light, and H20. These are the ingredients for photosynthesis which provides plants with the nutrients they need.

Directions: Answer the following questions in complete sentences. a. Describe four properties of acids that you learned in this

sladkih [1.3K]

Answer:

see below

Explanation:

a. Describe four properties of acids that you learned in this lesson.

1. Acids taste sour

For instance, taste some lemon juice

2. Acids are corrosive

Acids in contact with organic tissue or metals attack and, eventually, can destroy them. For instance chloric adis and sulfuric acid. Acids burn the skin.

3. Acids react with metals releasing hydrogen gas

For instance:

$2HCl(aq)+2Na(s)\rightarrow 2NaCl(aq)+H_2(g)\uparrow$

4. The pH of acids is below 7.

pH is the negative logarithm of the hydrodium concentration. HIgh concentrations of hydronum yield low pH: For instance:

$[H_3O]=2.0M \impliespH=-log\dfrac{1}{[H_3O^+]}=-log\dfrac{1}{2}=0.3$

5. Acids conduct electricity:

Acids ionize in water, producing hydronium ions. The ions carry charge. The motion or flow of charge is electric current.

b. Describe four of the properties of bases that you learned in this lesson.

1. Bases taste bitter

For instance, taste some soap

2. Bases are caustic and corrosive

Bases also damage organic tissue and attack metals. Thus they are corrosive such as acids. But strong bases are also named caustic. They cause damage similar to burns but in a different way.

3. The pH of bases is above 7.

pOH is the negative logarithm of OH⁻ ion. And pH + pOH = 14

$[OH^-]=1.0\impliespOH=-log(1/1.0)=-log(0.1)=1\\ \\ pH=14-pOH\\\\pH=13$

4. Bases conduct electricty.

Bases ionize in water releasing OH⁻ which carry charge, the flow of charge is current.

c. What are the products produced when an acid and base react together?

Acids and bases react together neutralizing each other, producing salt and water.

For instance:

$HCl+NaOH\rightarrow NaCl(salt)+H_2O(water)\\\\\\HNO_3+NaOH\rightarrow NaNO_3(salt)+H_2O(water)$

d. Examples of acids and bases. Be sure to check in your fridge, medicine cabinet, and in the cleaning supplies.

From fridge (or the food pantry):

Tomato juice: acid
Lemon juice: acid
Orange juice: acid

soda beverages: acid
vinegard: acid

baking soda: base

From medicine cabinet:

aspirin: acid
ibuprofen: acid

Cleaning supplies:

muriatic acid: acid
soap: base
bleach: base
household ammonia: base
lye: base

e. Names or formulas of acids and bases they may contain.

Tomato juice, lemon juice, and orange juice contain citric acid: C₆H₈O₇

Baking soda is sodium bicarbonate: NaHCO₃

Vinegar is diluted acetic acid: CH₃COOH

Soda beverages: contain carbon dioxide CO₂, and some may contain phosphoric acid H₃PO₄

Muriatic acid is diluted hydrochloric acid: HCl

aspiring is actyilsalicylic acid: C₉H8O₄

ibufrofen is isobutylphenylpropionic acid.

soap: chemically they are fatty acids metal salts.

bleach is sodium hypochlorite: ClOH.

Lye is sodium hyroxide: NaOH

Hosehold ammonia: NH₄OH

f. Find at least five acids and five bases for your list, making sure that there are some items on your list that were not mentioned in the lesson. Whenever possible, list the product/item and the formula or name of the acid or base.

Acids:

citric acid: C₆H₈O₇

soda beverages: carbon dioxide, CO₂
vinegard: acetic acid: CH₃COOH
aspirin: acetylsalicylic acid
ibuprofen: isobutylphenylpropionic acid
muriatic acid: HCl

Bases:

baking soda: sodium bicarbonate: NaHCO₃
soap: fatty acid metal salts.

bleach: sodium hypochlorite: HClO
household ammonia: NH₄OH
lye: sodium hydroxide: NaOH

:Why is a fuse used as a safety feature in a circuit

julia-pushkina [17]

Explanation:

The fuse breaks the circuit if a fault in an appliance causes too much current to flow. This protects the wiring and the appliance if something goes wrong. The fuse contains a piece of wire that melts easily.

It has been proposed that North America is moving west at about 2 cm per year. How many kilometers would it move in 5,000 years?

m_a_m_a [10]

Answer:

0.1 kilometer

Explanation:

First, multiply 5,000 by two to get your cm after 5,000 years which is 10,000 cm and then divide by 100,000 to convert to kilometers which is 0.1.
