T<span>he charges themselves may not move fast, but the force upon them does. The electric field set up by the battery or generator propagates through the wires at the speed of light.

Write the equations that represent the first and second ionization steps for hydroselenic acid (H2Se) in water. (Use H3O+ instea
Otrada [13]

Answer:

The equations are

1) H_{2}Se+H_{2}O--> H_{3}O^{+}+HSe^{-}

2) HSe^{-} +H_{2}O--> H_{3}O^{+}+Se^{-2}

Explanation:

There are two ionization steps in the dissociation of hydroselenic acid.

In first dissociation the H₂Se loses one proton and forms hydrogen selenide ion as shown below:

H_{2}Se+H_{2}O--> H_{3}O^{+}+HSe^{-}

The next step is again removal of a proton from the base formed above.

HSe^{-} +H_{2}O--> H_{3}O^{+}+Se^{-2}

Slow chemical change

It is a chemical change because the erosion is due to the chemical reaction between the acid and the in the rain and the calcium carbonate.

It is slow due to the concentration of acid is low.

You have a 16.0-oz. (473-mL) glass of lemonade with a concentration of 2.66 M. The lemonade sits out on your counter for a coupl
salantis [7]

<u>Answer:</u> The new concentration of lemonade is 3.90 M

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}     .....(1)

Molarity of lemonade solution = 2.66 M

Volume of solution = 473 mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

2.66M=\frac{\text{Moles of lemonade}\times 1000}{473}\\\\\text{Moles of lemonade}=\frac{2.66\times 473}{1000}=1.26mol

Now, calculating the new concentration of lemonade by using equation 1:

Moles of lemonade = 1.26 moles

Volume of solution = (473 - 150) mL = 323 mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{New concentration of lemonade}=\frac{1.26\times 1000}{323}\\\\\text{New concentration of lemonade}=3.90M

Hence, the new concentration of lemonade is 3.90 M

What is the sequence of energy transformations that occur in a nuclear reactor? nuclear energy Right arrow. Mechanical energy Ri
Mademuasel [1]

Answer:

NUCLEAR ENERGY -----> MECHANICAL ENERGY -------> THERMAL ENERGY --------> ELECTRICAL ENERGY

Explanation:

In nuclear reactor, various energy transformations occur in order to generate electricity. Nuclear reactor converts the energy released from nuclear fission and the heat generated is removed from the reactor by a cooling system where steam is generated. The steam then drives a turbine which powers a generator to produce electricity.

A nuclear reactor is hence an equipment where nuclear chain reactions occur and control can be obtained. The nuclear reactor uses mostly uranium-235 and Plutonium-239. When these radioactive substances absorbs neutrons, they undergo nuclear fission causing the nucleus to split into two or more smaller compounds with  the release of kinetic energy a form of mechanical energy, gamma radiations and others.The kinetic energy is then harnessed in the equipment as heat (thermal energy) which is received by a cooling system and steam is generated. The steam can then power the generator from which electricity is obtained (electrical energy).

So therefore, in a nuclear reactor, the nuclear energy is transformed to mechanical energy and then thermal energy which powers the generation of the electrical energy.

Which undefined geometric term is described as a two-dimensional set of points that has no beginning or end?
adell [148]

Answer:

  • <em>The two-dimensional set of points that has no beginning or end is described by the undefined geometric term</em> <u>plane.</u>

Explanation:

There are three <em>undefined terms</em><em> in geometry</em>:

  • point,
  • line, and
  • plane

They are referred as undefined terms because they are not defined in a formal way, i.e. using mathematically defined words. At the end these terms are abstractions (ideas).

The point has no dimensions, it can be represented by the tip of a sharp pencil.

The line is referred as an infinite set of joined points that extend indefinitely in one direction (from right to left, from north to south), so it has one dimension. The intersection of of two perpendicular walls is an example of what a line is.

Finally, the term to which the question is referred is the plane: an infinite set of joined points that extends in two dimensions. An example of plane is the surface of quite water. The plane does not have depth, only extension; that is why it has only two dimensions.

So, you should remember: points do not have dimensions, lines have one dimension, and planes have two dimensions.
