Answer:

To increase surface area of the platinum electrode which results in superior quality and action of the electrodes as opposed to normal platinum electrodes.

Explanation:

Platinization of Platinum is the process of covering platinum electrode with a layer of platinum black. Platinum black is a finally divided form of platinum, optimized for catalysing the addition of hydrogen to unsaturated organic compound. This increases the surface area of the platinum electrodes and therefore exhibits action superior to that of normal electrodes.

Which is the stronger acid in each of the following pairs? Explain your reasoning.
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:p-hydroxybenzaldehyde is stronger acid to phenol

para-cyanophenol is stronger acid to meta-cyanophenol

o-fluorophenol is stronger acid to p-fluorophenol.

Explanation:

The PKa tool relative to Ph are used to contrast the pairs.

The pKa of phenol is 10. The pKa of p-hydroxybenzaldehyde is 9.24

The pKa for meta-cyanophenol is 8.61 and the pKa for para-cyanophenol is 7.95. 

The pKa value of o-fluorophenol is 8.7, while that of the p-fluorophenol is 9.9. It's obvious that the inductive effect is more dominant at ortho-position, which results in a more acidic nature

The pKa is the pH value at which a chemical species will accept or donate a proton. The lower the pKa, the stronger the acid and the greater the ability to donate a proton in aqueous solution.

Air pressure is lower at high altitudes. An airplane cabin can adjust, but as the plane rises, passengers can experience tempora
-BARSIC- [3]

Answer:

The air pressure in the ears increases

The volume of air in the ears increases

The change in volume causes discomfort

It takes time for the ears to dispell excess air past the ear drum.

Explanation:

As the plane engages in a steep incline into the atmosphere, the outside atmospheric pressure decreases with altitude. The air pressure in the ear, therefore, become greater than atmospheric pressure. The air volume in the ear therefore grows and pushes on the ear causing discomfort. As the air in the cabin pressurizes the discomfort eases away as pressure equalization is restored relative to the ear.

Using the following data table and graph, calculate the average k from the data. Amount CO2 (mL) Amount of White Solid (g) y x 1
UkoKoshka [18]
The k is the proportionality constant of the reaction. Graphically, this is the slope of the graph. Since the graph is linear, then there is only 1 value of k. To calculate this, choose two random points in the line. Suppose we use (0.15,10) and (0.30,20), calculate for the slope.

Slope = k = (10 - 20)/(0.15 - 0.30) = 66.67 mL CO₂/g CaCO₃
