What is the best description for a solution with a hydroxide-ion concentration equal to 1 x 10-4m?
Answer:
Basic solution.
Explanation:
∵ pOH = -log[OH⁻] = - log(1.0 x 10⁻⁴) = 4.
∵ pH + pOH = 14.
∴ pH = 14 - pOH = 14 - 4 = 10.
Since, the pH of the solution is 10 (> 7) and the concentration of [OH⁻] is 1.0 x 10⁻⁴ (> 1.0 x 10⁻⁷) is a basic solution.
Answer:
The solution is basic
Explanation:
Given:
Concentration of OH- = 1*10⁻⁴ m
To determine:
The nature of the solution i.e. acidic or basic
Formula:
A solution where the pH = 7 is neutral
pH < 7 is acidic
pH > 7 is basic
[tex]p[OH] = -log[OH-] = -log[1*10^{-4}] = 4\\ \\p[H] + p[OH] = 14\\\\Therefore\ pH = 14 - p[OH] = 14 - 4 = 10[/tex]
Since, pH > 7, the solution is basic
Which of the following equilibria will shift toward formation of more products if the volume of a reaction mixture at equilibrium increases by a factor of 2? a. 2 SO2(g)+ O2(g) 2 SO3(g) b. NO(g) + O3(g) NO2(g) + O2(g) c. 2N2O5(g) 4 NO2(g)+ O2(g) d. N2O4(g) 2 NO2(g)
Answer:
The correct answers are:
c. 2N₂O₅(g) ⇄ 4 NO₂(g)+ O₂(g), andd. N₂O₄(g) ⇄ 2 NO₂(g)Explanation:
Following Le Chatelier's principle, when a chemical equilibrium is disturbed by an external force, the reaction will shift toward the side that permits to overcome or minimize the disturbance and comeback to a new equilibrium.
Since, the pressure is inversely related to the volume (the greater the volume the lower the pressure and viceversa), ff the volume of a reaction mixture at equilibrium increases by a factor of 2, the pressure of the system will decrease.
Since, the pressure is directly related to the number of particles (atoms,or molecules), you can predict that the reaction will shift to the side where more molecules are produced to overcome the decrease in the pressure generated by the increase on the volume.
Let's see each option.
a. 2 SO₂(g)+ O₂(g) ⇄ 2 SO3(g)
Incorrect.
There are more molecules on the left side (reactant side) so the reverse reaction is favored. This is the equilibrium will shift to the formation of more reactants. So, this is an incorrect option.
b. NO(g) + O₃(g) ⇄ NO₂(g) + O₂(g)
Incorrect.
There are two molecules in the reactant side and two molecules in the product side. Hence, in this equilibrium the increase of volume will not yield a change in the equlibrium.
c. 2N₂O₅(g) ⇄ 4 NO₂(g)+ O₂(g)
Correct.
In this reaction, there are four molecules in the product side (right) against 2 molecules in the reactant side (left). So, the increase in volume will produce a shift toward the product side.
d. N₂O₄(g) ⇄ 2 NO₂(g)
Correct.
There are more molecules in the product side than in the reactant side, so you predict a shift toward the formation of more product to overcome the increase of volume.

what is the ultimate end of a high mass star that has a core about 2.8x the mass of our sun?
A. a pulsar
B. a black hole
C. a brown dwarf
D. a magnetar
Answer:
A
Explanation:
It is formed after the star has ended its star cycle into a supernova. The star collapsed into a neutron star that is smaller than the progenitor star but has inherited angular momentum. IT, therefore, spins faster emitting electromagnetic radiation that seems to pulsate.
Answer:
A) Pulsar
Explanation:
Pulsars are collapsed cores of stars usually supergiant stars
this happens when a supernova leaves behind the star core that has no outer protection layer of high gravity so the core collapses in on itself to create a very high magnitude star and also has trillions more mass.

To answer this question, we need to first understand polar and non - polar molecules.
When we say that a molecule is polar, it means that the arrangement of the atoms is in such a manner that makes one end of the molecule to have a positive electrical charge with the other end having a negative charge. This means that polar molecules are formed from polar covalent bonding when two atoms do not share electrons equally .
When we sat that a molecule is non-polar, what it means is that it does not have electrical poles. This means that it's electrons are shared equally unlike that of polar molecules.
In contrast to polar molecules, non-polar molecules do not have an abundance of charges at the opposite ends. Examples are found in hydrocarbon liquids.
From the Explanations above, we can categorize the given molecules into polar or non polar as;
a) IF; Polar
b) CS2; Non - polar
c) SO3; Non - polar
d) PCl3; Polar
e) SF6; Non - polar

What color does red and yellow make?
Red and yellow make orange.
Red and yellow mix together to create the color orange.
When you mix red and yellow, you are essentially combining their respective pigments or light wavelengths.
Red has a longer wavelength and is a primary color, meaning it cannot be made by combining other colors. On the other hand, yellow, which is a primary hue as well, has a medium wavelength.
The color orange is perceived as a new color when red and yellow are combined. This occurs as a result of the red pigment's or wavelength's stimulation of our eyes' long-wavelength receptors and the yellow pigment's or wavelength's stimulation of our eyes' medium-wavelength receptors. The brain interprets the mix of inputs as the color orange after processing the data from these receptors.
When red and green light are combined at their maximum intensity in the RGB (Red, Green, Blue) color model, they produce yellow rather than orange. Red and yellow combine to form orange in the subtractive color model, which is the one utilized for physical pigments like paint. This is caused by variations in how light and pigments interact to create perceptions of color.

Which statement does NOT apply to unsaturated hydrocarbons?
Unsaturated hydrocarbons require energy to react.
Unsaturated hydrocarbons are very reactive.
Unsaturated hydrocarbons contain double and triple bonds.
Unsaturated hydrocarbons undergo addition reactions to become saturated.
Unsaturated hydrocarbons undergo addition reactions to become saturated.
Answer: The correct statement is unsaturated hydrocarbons require energy to react.
Explanation:
Unsaturated hydrocarbons are defined as the hydrocarbons which have double or triple covalent C-C bonds. They are known as alkenes and alkynes respectively. The general formula for these hydrocarbons is [tex]C_nH_{2n}[/tex] and [tex]C_nH_{2n-2}[/tex]
These hydrocarbons are more reactive than the saturated ones because of the presence of [tex]\pi-[/tex]bonds. These bonds are weaker than [tex]\sigma-[/tex]bonds and thus can be easily broken. Addition reactions is more favorable for the compounds having [tex]\pi-[/tex]bonds.
These hydrocarbons do not require any energy to react. They are readily reactive.
Hence, the correct statement is unsaturated hydrocarbons require energy to react.
A 75.0-mL volume of 0.200 M NH3 (Kb=1.8×10−5) is titrated with 0.500 M HNO3. Calculate the pH after the addition of 15.0 mL of HNO3.
The pH IS 9.6
Explanation;Moles NH3 initially present = 0.0750 L X 0.2 mol/L = 0.015 mol NH3
Moles HNO3 added = 0.015 L X 0.500 mol/L = 7.5X10^-3 mol HNO3 added
NH3 + HNO3 --> NH4+ + NO3-
So, after the addition, the solution contains 7.50X10^-3 mol NH4+ and 9.5X10^-3 mol NH3. The concentrations are:
[NH4+] = 7.5X10^-3 mol / 0.090 L = 0.0833 M
[NH3] = 1,5X10^-2mol / 0.090 L = 0.1667 M
The equilbirium involved is:
NH3 + H2O <--> NH4+ + OH-
Kb = [NH4+][OH-]/[NH3] = 1.8X10^-5
1.8X10^-5 = (0.0833)[OH-]/0.1667
[OH-] = 3.602 X10^-5
pOH = 4.44
pH = 14.00 - pOH

A particular device uses electromagnetism by using electricity to move magnets. The magnets in this device are then used to do work. Which device uses electromagnetism in this way?
a solenoid is used wherever a magnetic field is needed
Answer:
Electric motor
Explanation:
An electric motor is such a device which works on the principle of electro magnetism. When current is allowed to pass through the wire in the electric motor, it creates a magnetic field around the coil.
This magnetic field causes a force that pushes the magnets placed around the coil that moves or spins the magnets which results in the working of the motor. Thus in this way electric motor uses electromagnetism by using electricity in the coil to move the magnets which in turn does the useful work.

A solution of SO2 in water contains 0.00023 g of SO2 per liter of solution. What is the concentration of SO2 in ppm? in ppb?
Answer:
= 230 ppb
Explanation:
Considering that;
1ppm = 1mg/L
Then;
0.00023g = 0.23mg
Therefore;
0.00023 g/L = 0.23 mg/L
0.23 mg/L = 0.23 ppm
1 ppm = 100 ppb
Therefore;
0.23 ppm = 0.23 ×1000
= 230 ppb
Answer:
0.23 ppm , 230 ppb
Explanation:
1 ppm (parts per million) is equivalent to 1 mg of SO₂ in 1 L of the water
Given mass of SO₂ = 0.00023 g = 0.00023 x 1000 mg (1g = 1000 mg) = 0.23 mg
So 0.23 mg/ L = 0.23 ppm
1 ppb (parts per billion) (10⁹) = 1000 ppm (parts per million) (10⁶)
0.23 ppm x 1000 = 230 ppb
A chemist dissolves 660.mg of pure hydroiodic acid in enough water to make up 300.mL of solution. Calculate the pH of the solution. Round your answer to 3 significant decimal places.
The pH of the solution formed by dissolving 660 mg of hydroiodic acid in 300 mL of water was calculated to be approximately 1.765. This was determined by finding the molarity of the hydroiodic acid, which is a strong acid, and using the formula for pH, which is the negative logarithm of the molar concentration of hydronium ions.
Explanation:The subject of this question relates to the calculation of the pH of a solution formed by dissolving hydroiodic acid in water. Hydroiodic acid is a strong acid, meaning it completely ionizes in water. The number of moles of hydroiodic acid is found by converting the mass of the acid (660 mg, or 0.660 g) into moles, with the molar mass of hydroiodic acid as 128 g/mol. This results in approximately 0.00516 moles of hydroiodic acid.
Next, we find the concentration of the acid in the solution by dividing the number of moles by the volume of the solution in liters (0.300 L). This gives a molarity of approximately 0.0172 M. Since hydroiodic acid is a strong acid, the concentration of hydronium ions ([H3O+]) is effectively equal to the concentration of the acid.
Finally, we calculate the pH of the solution using the formula pH = -log[H3O+]. Substituting the found hydronium ion concentration into this formula gives a pH of approximately 1.765.

A hypothesis is a statement that can be tested through a scientific investigation. What is the purpose of writing a hypothesis?
Final answer:
Writing a hypothesis serves to provide a testable and falsifiable prediction that connects theoretical ideas to empirical evidence, guiding experimental design and advancing scientific understanding.
Explanation:
The purpose of writing a hypothesis is to make a testable prediction about a natural phenomenon that arises from an initial observation. By establishing a hypothesis, scientists can create a bridge between theoretical ideas and the real world, allowing them to conduct experiments and gather data.
A well-formulated hypothesis must be grounded in scientific knowledge, be logical, and most importantly, be both testable and falsifiable. This means it must be possible to design an experiment or make observations that could potentially disprove the hypothesis if it is not correct.
Scientific investigations commonly begin with an observation that leads to a question. Research and reasoning based on scientific knowledge then guide the formation of a hypothesis, often taking the form 'If condition X occurs, then effect Y will follow'.
This predictive statement is crucial for guiding the experimental design, where the objective is to either support or refute the hypothesis.
Contrary to a hypothesis, a scientific theory is a thoroughly tested and confirmed explanation for a set of observations, and a scientific law is a statement that summarizes the relationship between variables without offering the 'why' of the phenomenon.

A.is equal to the total energy absorbed by the substance
B. increases as the temperature of the substance is lowered
C. is directly proportional to the temperature of the substance
D. is not affected by the temperature of the substance
Answer:
C
Explanation:
The higher the temperatures the higher the kinetic energy of the particles. This is because the particles move more rapidly and faster with increased temperatures. This is why the more you heat a substance it changes phases as it molecules/particles move more rapidly and collide with more force.
The average kinetic energy of the particles of a substance is directly proportional to the temperature of the substance (Option C).
Kinetic energy refers to the form of energy of an object due to its motion (movement).Kinetic energy is directly proportional to the motion of its constituent particles, which depends on the temperature (higher temperature higher motion).Conversely, potential energy refers to the energy stored by an object because of its position with regard to other objects.Kinetic energy cannot be negative, but potential energy can be negative.In conclusion, the average kinetic energy of the particles of a substance is directly proportional to the temperature of the substance (Option C).

can you mark me as brainiest please?If a substance changes color, what has most likely happened
Final answer:
A substance changing color typically indicates a chemical change where new substances with different properties, including color, are formed. This is attributable to a variety of factors including temperature, light exposure, and the molecular structure of the substance.
Explanation:
When a substance changes color, it is often an indication that a chemical change has occurred. This change is a result of a new substance being formed with different properties, including color. An example of this is when increasing concentration in a chemical reaction causes a color change from orange to brown, illustrating a reaction's progression.
Factors that can cause a substance to change color include a change in temperature, light, and chemical composition. A clear example is provided by the difference in coloration: 1,2-diphenylethene is colorless, whereas its extended conjugation counterpart, 1,10-diphenyl-1,3,5,7,9-decapentaene, shows a yellow-orange color. Such changes in color can be due to differences in energy levels associated with electronic transitions in the molecules.
Color changes in reactions can also be time-dependent, as seen with substances like acetophenone, which change color after prolonged exposure to air or heat.
In summary, color changes are a significant visual clue that a chemical reaction may have taken place. There are four visual clues that indicate this: color change, gas production, formation of a precipitate, and energy transfer.
When a single 1-gram piece of zinc is added to 3 M hydrochloric acid at 25°C, the reaction is slow. Which procedure would most likely increase the rate of the reaction if the reaction were repeated? A. using 1 gram of powdered zinc B. using 1 M hydrochloric acid C. decreasing the temperature to 20.°C D. decreasing the concentration of the zinc
Answer: option A, using 1 gram of powdered zinc.
Explanation:
The rate of chemical reactions are affected by a number of factors, which you can summarize in this form:
1) Concentration of the reactants
The more concentrate are the reactants, more frequently they will interact (collide) and will be able to yield product. So, the higher the concentration the higher the rate.
This means using 1 M hydrochloric acid, as the option B states, instead of 3 M (stated for the original reaction) will slow down the reaction instead of increase the rate.
The same is valid for the option D. Decreasing the concentration of zinc will not increase the rate of the reaction, but will decrease it.
2) Surface area of the reactants
Increasing the surface area will permit that the reactants reach a faster intimate contact, occurring more of collisions per unit of time, and, consequently increasing the rate of the reaction.
Then, option A, using 1 gram of powdered zinc, i.e. the same amount stated for the original reaction, but with more surface area, will produce the desired effect of increasing the rate of reaction.
3) Temperature
Higher temperatures means that the kinetic energies of the reactants are higher and so the collisions will occur with more energy and the probability of effective collisions will increase. Decreasing the temperature will have the opposite effect (the rate of reaction will decrease).
Hence, the option C, decreasing the temperature to 20° C will not increanse the rate of the reaction.
3) Catalyst
Catalyst ares substances that modify the path of the reaction, decreasing the activation energy and, consequently, increasing the rate of reaction. Since, none of the statements indicates the use of catalyst, this is not an option.
The correct option is A. using 1 gram of powdered zinc.
To understand why using powdered zinc would most likely increase the rate of the reaction, one must consider the factors that affect reaction rates. These factors include the concentration of reactants, the surface area of reactants, the temperature at which the reaction occurs, and the presence of a catalyst.
In this case, the reaction between zinc and hydrochloric acid can be represented by the following equation:
[tex]\[ \text{Zn}(s) + 2\text{HCl}(aq) \rightarrow \text{ZnCl}_2(aq) + \text{H}_2(g)[/tex]
Now, let's analyze each option:
A. Using 1 gram of powdered zinc: Increasing the surface area of the zinc by using it in powdered form would increase the number of particles that can react with the hydrochloric acid at any given time. This would increase the rate of the reaction because more collisions between the zinc and hydrochloric acid molecules would occur, leading to a faster reaction rate.
B. Using 1 M hydrochloric acid: Decreasing the concentration of hydrochloric acid from 3 M to 1 M would actually decrease the rate of the reaction. According to the collision theory, a higher concentration of reactants leads to more frequent collisions and thus a faster reaction rate.
C. Decreasing the temperature to 20°C: Generally, decreasing the temperature would decrease the kinetic energy of the particles, leading to fewer successful collisions and a slower reaction rate. The Arrhenius equation shows that the rate constant \(k\) is directly related to the temperature [tex]T[/tex] by the equation [tex](k = A \cdot e^{-\frac{E_a}{RT}}\)[/tex], where [tex]\(A\)[/tex] is the pre-exponential factor, [tex]\(E_a\)[/tex] is the activation energy, and [tex]R[/tex] is the gas constant.
D. Decreasing the concentration of the zinc: This option would decrease the rate of the reaction for the same reason as option B. A lower concentration of zinc would mean fewer zinc particles are available to react with the hydrochloric acid, resulting in a slower reaction rate.
Therefore, the most effective way to increase the rate of the reaction, based on the given options, is to increase the surface area of the zinc by using it in powdered form, which corresponds to option A.
Explain how fossils can give information about past environmental conditions. Give at least two examples. Answer using complete sentences.
Fossils are vital for understanding past environments, indicating past climates and geological events through their preservation conditions. Index fossils help correlate rock layers, while stable isotopes and molecular clocks provide details on the environment and evolutionary relationships.
Fossils provide valuable information about past environmental conditions due to their unique nature as the remains or impressions of ancient life forms. As organisms are fossilized, they can offer clues about the climate, geography, and biological interactions of their time.
Examples of Environmental Clues from Fossils
Fossils and Past Climates: Certain fossils, such as those of tropical plant species, indicate the region once had a warm climate. Conversely, fossils of organisms known to live in colder conditions suggest cooler climates in the past.Fossils and Geological Events: The presence of marine fossils on mountain tops indicates that the mountains were once under the sea, demonstrating geological uplift and plate tectonics.The conditions required for fossilization - such as rapid burial and lack of oxygen - help explain why fossils are rare. When these specific conditions are met, organisms can be preserved in various forms like petrifications, molds, casts, or even preserved traces like footprints.
Index fossils, which are fossils of organisms that were geographically widespread but limited to a short span of geologic time, are particularly useful in correlating rock layers and understanding the history of life on Earth.
Utilizing Fossil Data
By analyzing stable isotopes found in fossils or employing relative and absolute dating methods, scientists can reconstruct past environments and understand the broader ecological context. Molecular clocks, which compare genetic differences to estimate the times when different species diverged, help clarify evolutionary relationships, offering a more complete picture of life's history. However, 'carbon dating' is only applicable for dating relatively recent fossils, as the half-life of carbon-14 is about 5,730 years, which limits its utility for much older specimens.

∵ (ΔP)NO/Δt = - 184 torr/min.
∴ The rate of change of the total pressure in the vessel = - 1/2(ΔP)NO/Δt = (- 1/2)(- 184 torr/min) = 92.0 torr/min.

11. The heat combustion of acetylene, C2H2 (g), at 25°C, is -1299 kJ/mol. At this temperature, ∆H_f° values for CO2(g) and H2O(l) are -393 and -286 kJ/mol, respectively. Calculate ∆H_f° for acetylene.
12. Consider the following data. Use Hess's law to find the change in enthalpy at 25°C for the following equation.
Answer:
11. 227 kJ·mol⁻¹; 12. 587 kJ
Step-by-step explanation:
11. Calculate ΔH°f
The formula for calculating the enthalpy change of a reaction by using the enthalpies of formation of reactants and products is
ΔH°r = ΣmΔH°f(products) - ΣnΔH°f(reactants)
2C₂H₂ + 5O₂ ⟶ 4CO₂ + 2H₂O; ΔH°c = -1299 kJ·mol⁻¹
ΔH°f/kJ·mol⁻¹: 2x 0 -393 -286
2(-1299) = 4(-393) + 2(-286) - 2x
-2598 = -1572 - 572 - 2x
-2598 = -2144 -2x
-454 = -2x
x = 227 kJ·mol⁻¹
ΔH°f for acetylene is 227 kJ·mol⁻¹
12. Hess's Law
Warning: It is almost impossible to solve a problem like this by trial and error. You must have a strategy beforehand.
We have five equations:
(I) Ca + 2C ⟶ CaC₂; ΔH = -62.8 kJ
(II) Ca + ½O₂ ⟶ CaO; ΔH = -635.5 kJ
(III) CaO + H₂O ⟶ Ca(OH)₂; ΔH = -653.1 kJ
(IV) C₂H₂ + ⁵/₂O₂ ⟶ 2CO₂ + H₂O; ΔH = -1300 kJ
(V) C + O₂ ⟶ CO₂; ΔH = -393.51 kJ
From these, we must devise the target equation:
(VI) CaC₂ + 2H₂O → Ca(OH)₂ + C₂H₂; ΔH = ?
Here comes the strategy. Remember, you can use each of the given equations only once.
Start with the target equation. It has CaC₂ on the left, so you need an equation containing CaC₂ on the left.
Reverse Equation (I). When you reverse an equation, you change the sign of its ΔH.
(VII) CaC₂ ⟶ Ca + 2C; ΔH = 62.8 kJ
Equation (VII) has Ca on the right, and that is not in the target. You need an equation with Ca on the left to cancel it. Add Equation (II)
(VIII) Ca + O₂ ⟶ CaO; ΔH = -1271.0 kJ
Equation (VII) also has 2C on the right, and there is no C in the target. We need an equation with 2C on the left to cancel it.
Double Equation (V). When you double an equation, you double its ΔH.
(IX) 2C + 2O₂ ⟶ 2CO₂; ΔH = -587.02 kJ
Now, we must eliminate the CaO from Equation (VII). Add Equation (III).
(X) CaO + H₂O ⟶ Ca(OH)₂; ΔH = -653.1 kJ
Equation (VIII) has 2CO₂ on the right. You need an equation with 2CO₂ on the left.
Reverse Equation (IV).
(XI) 2CO₂ +H₂O ⟶ C₂H₂ + ⁵/₂O₂ ; ΔH = 2600 kJ
Now, we add all five equations, cancelling substances that appear on both sides of the reaction arrow. All the formulas in italics have been cancelled
(VII) CaC₂ ⟶ Ca + 2C; ΔH = 62.8 kJ
(VIII) Ca + ½O₂ ⟶ CaO; ΔH = -635.5 kJ
(IX) 2C + 2O₂ ⟶ 2CO₂; ΔH = -787.02 kJ
(X) CaO + H₂O ⟶ Ca(OH)₂; ΔH = -653.1 kJ
(XI) 2CO₂ + H₂O ⟶ C₂H₂ + ⁵/₂O₂ ; ΔH = 2600 kJ
(VI) CaC₂ + 2H₂O → Ca(OH)₂ + C₂H₂; ΔH = 587 kJ
ΔH = 587 kJ
