Answer: D. it only partially dissociates in solution.

Explanation:

Strong acid is defined as the acid which completely dissociates when dissolved in water. They have low pH. These releases $H^+$ ions in their aqueous states.

$HNO_3(aq.)\rightarrow H^+(aq.)+NO_3^-(aq.)$

Weak acid is defined as the acid which does not completely dissociates when dissolved in water. They have high pH. These releases $H^+$ ions in their aqueous states.

$CH_3COOH\rightleftharpoons CH_3COO^-+H^+$

Thus the correct option is it only partially dissociates in solution.

How does the behavior of a high-energy particle compare to a low-energy particle?

irina1246 [14]

Answer:

The problem of energy exchange between waves and particles, which leads to energization of the latter, in an unstable plasma typical of the radiation belts. The ongoing Van Allen Probes space mission brought this problem among the most discussed in space physics. A free energy which is present in an unstable plasma provides the indispensable condition for energy transfer from lower energy particles to higher-energy particles via resonant wave-particle interaction. This process is studied in detail by the example of electron interactions with whistler mode wave packets originated from lightning-induced emission. We emphasize that in an unstable plasma, the energy source for electron energization is the energy of other particles, rather than the wave energy as is often assumed. The way by which the energy is transferred from lower energy to higher-energy particles includes two processes that operate concurrently, in the same space-time domain, or sequentially, in different space-time domains, in which a given wave packet is located. In the first process, one group of resonant particles gives the energy to the wave. The second process consists in wave absorption by another group of resonant particles, whose energy therefore increases. We argue that this mechanism represents an efficient means of electron energization in the radiation belts.

Explanation:

Fun facts:

In the process of energy transfer between two groups of particles both processes operate simultaneously, and if the lower energy part of plasma distribution gives energy to the wave while the higher‐energy part absorbs the wave enrgy, then the wave‐mediated energy transfer from lower energy particles to higher‐energy ...

Use the data given below to construct a Born-Haber cycle to determine the second ionization energy of Ca. Δ H°(kJ) Ca(s)→Ca(g) 1

Drupady [299]

Answer : The value of second ionization energy of Ca is 1010 kJ.

Explanation :

The formation of calcium oxide is,

$Ca(s)+\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\overset{\Delta H_f}\rightarrow CaO(s)$

$\Delta H_f^o$ = enthalpy of formation of calcium oxide = -635 kJ

The steps involved in the born-Haber cycle for the formation of $CaO$ :

(1) Conversion of solid calcium into gaseous calcium atoms.

$Ca(s)\overset{\Delta H_s}\rightarrow Ca(g)$

$\Delta H_s$ = sublimation energy of calcium = 193 kJ

(2) Conversion of gaseous calcium atoms into gaseous calcium ions.

$Ca(g)\overset{\Delta H_I_1}\rightarrow Ca^{+1}(g)$

$\Delta H_I_1$ = first ionization energy of calcium = 590 kJ

(3) Conversion of gaseous calcium ion into gaseous calcium ions.

$Ca^{+1}(g)\overset{\Delta H_I_2}\rightarrow Ca^{+2}(g)$

$\Delta H_I_2$ = second ionization energy of calcium = ?

(4) Conversion of molecular gaseous oxygen into gaseous oxygen atoms.

$O_2(g)\overset{\Delta H_D}\rightarrow OI(g)$

$\frac{1}{2}O_2(g)\overset{\Delta H_D}\rightarrow O(g)$

$\Delta H_D$ = dissociation energy of oxygen = $\frac{498}{2}=249kJ$

(5) Conversion of gaseous oxygen atoms into gaseous oxygen ions.

$O(g)\overset{\Delta H_E_1}\rightarrow O^-(g)$

$\Delta H_E_1$ = first electron affinity energy of oxygen = -141 kJ

(6) Conversion of gaseous oxygen ion into gaseous oxygen ions.

$O^-(g)\overset{\Delta H_E_2}\rightarrow O^{2-}(g)$

$\Delta H_E_2$ = second electron affinity energy of oxygen = 878 kJ

(7) Conversion of gaseous cations and gaseous anion into solid calcium oxide.

$Ca^{2+}(g)+O^{2-}(g)\overset{\Delta H_L}\rightarrow CaO(s)$

$\Delta H_L$ = lattice energy of calcium oxide = -3414 kJ

To calculate the overall energy from the born-Haber cycle, the equation used will be:

$\Delta H_f^o=\Delta H_s+\Delta H_I_1+\Delta H_I_2+\Delta H_D+\Delta H_E_1+\Delta H_E_2+\Delta H_L$

Now put all the given values in this equation, we get:

$-635kJ=193kJ+590kJ+\Delta H_I_2+249kJ+(-141kJ)+878kJ+(-3414kJ)$

$\Delta H_I_2=1010kJ$

Therefore, the value of second ionization energy of Ca is 1010 kJ.

How do the size of the inner planets compare the size of our outer planets

kondor19780726 [428]

The inner planets (Mercury, Venus, Earth, Mars) are closer to the sun and much smaller than the outer planets otherwise known as gas giants. These are: Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune.
Hope this helps!
