The best way is by heating the solution. The liquid will evaporate leaving the solid, such as salt, behind.

The best method is to let the water evaporate, unless one wants to recover the water. However, case one would distill the mixture. So the water is still distilled and separated in a different container, as the solid salt remains behind in the distilling flask.

Can you locate any mountains in the tropical zones?

krek1111 [17]

Answer:

At even lower levels mountain lands grade into other types of landform and vegetation—e.g., tropical or temperate forest, savanna, scrubland, desert, or tundra. The largest and highest area of mountain lands occurs in the Himalaya -Tibet region; the longest nearly continuous mountain range is that along the west coast of the Americas from Alaska in the north to Chile in the south.

hich statement is true? A. An acid with a large pKa will be a better conductor of electricity than one with a smaller pKa. B. An

xz_007 [3.2K]

Answer:

$\boxed{\text{B is correct}}$

Explanation:

Kₐ and pKₐ are measures of the strength of an acid. For example,

HX + H₂O ⇌ H₃O⁺ + X⁻; Kₐ = 10¹⁰, pKₐ = -10

HA + H₂O ⇌ H₃O⁺ + A⁻; Kₐ = 10⁻¹⁰, pKₐ = 10

HX is a strong acid, because it has a larger Kₐ, that is, the position of equilibrium lies far to the right.

However, pKₐ is the negative logarithm of Kₐ, so HX has the smaller pKₐ.

Similarly, Ha is a weak acid, but it has the larger pKₐ.

Strong acid: Large Kₐ ⇔ Low pKₐ

Weak acid: Small Kₐ ⇔ High pKₐ

A is wrong. HA is a weak acid, so it produces only a few hydronium ions.

B is correct. The rate of corrosion depends on the concentration of hydronium ions. HA is a weak acid, so it is less corrosive than an acid with a small pKₐ.

C is wrong. HX is a strong acid, so there are more ions to carry the current. HX will be a good conductor of electricity.

D is wrong. HX is a strong acid, so it provides more hydronium ions and is more corrosive.

E is wrong. HX is a strong acid, so it provides more hydronium ions to stimulate the taste buds.

$\boxed{\textbf{B is correct}}$

Which of the following best describes the particles that make up lightning and the particles that make up the water in a bottle?

Blizzard [7]

Answer:

Those in lightning are charged and those in water are not charged.

Explanation:

The particles in lightning differs from those in a water in that water molecules are neutral and those of lightning are charged.

Lightning is made up of charged ions or particles that have either lost or gained electrons.

Lightning is produced as a burst or discharge of charged particles that are imbalanced withing the clouds.

Water molecules are made up of hydrogen and oxygen atoms which forms molecules held together by strong intermolecular and interatomic bonds.

Due to the sharing of electrons that has made this bonding possible, there is a net charge balance which leads to a neutrality.

Water is electrostatically neutral and not charged.

Give the number and type of hybrid orbital that forms when each set of atomic orbitals mixes:

evablogger [386]

<u>Two hybrid </u>orbitals of <u>sp </u>type forms when each set of atomic orbitals mixes one p and one s

<h3>What is orbital hybridization?</h3>

In the context of valence bond theory, orbital hybridization (or hybridisation) refers to the idea of combining atomic orbitals to create new hybrid orbitals (with energies, forms, etc., distinct from the component atomic orbitals) suited for the pairing of electrons to form chemical bonds.

For instance, the valence-shell s orbital joins with three valence-shell p orbitals to generate four equivalent sp3 mixes that are arranged in a tetrahedral configuration around the carbon atom to connect to four distinct atoms.

Hybrid orbitals are symmetrically arranged in space and are helpful in the explanation of molecular geometry and atomic bonding characteristics. Usually, atomic orbitals with similar energies are combined to form hybrid orbitals.
