Answer: Lake Minnetonka water is buffered instead of Upper Kintla Lake water that doesn´t have molecules to "muffle" the acid rain added.

Explanation:

When Adding Acid or a Base to a sample, and its pH doesn´t change, it will tell us that something is happening and <u>there must be some molecules in the sample that are reacting with the Acid or Base added </u>and that is why, the sample´s pH stay the same. These "molecules" muffle the Acid or Base, and they are called "buffer".

As you can see in the image below, there is an example with a typical Bicarbonate Buffer when adding HCl, the Bicarbonate molecules will react with the HCl, making it to change in other molecule, and losing its acid power.

<em>When the Acid Rain was added to the Upper Kintla Lake sample,</em> the pH changed instantly, because there were any molecule to react with the HCl added and HCl molecules remain the same, making the pH to drop from 7.5 to 5.2

Lake Minnetonka in Southern Minneosta is buffer solution

Explanation:

One can conclude from the observation that Lake Minnetonka is a buffer solution. A buffer solution is a special solution that resist changes in pH or pOH when a small amount of an acid or base is added.

  • Buffers are solutions in equilibrium with a fairly constant pH.
  • They are  aqueous solutions containing weak acids and their salts or weak bases and their salts.
  • Since the pH of water sample from Lake Minnetonka did not change, it is a buffer.

Explain why c6h5ch2ch2br is not formed during the radical bromination of c6h5ch2ch3. select the single best answer.
gtnhenbr [62]
Hi!

The radical bromination reaction of C₆H₅CH₂CH₃ is performed through a mechanism in which radical reactions are involved. This compound is an alkylbenzene compound, and the carbon that is more reactive towards radical bromination is the carbon bonded to the aromatic ring because in the reaction mechanism the intermediaries are stabilized by resonance in the aromatic ring. 

A terminal substitution will not occur because substitution there will not be stabilized by resonance. The compound that will be formed in this reaction would be:

C₆H₅CH₂CH₃ + Br₂ → C₆H₅CH₂(Br)CH₃ + HBr

Consider the following hypothetical reaction: 2 P + Q → 2 R + S The following mechanism is proposed for this reaction: P + P Q
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer: the answer is option (D). k[P]²[Q]

Explanation:

first of all, let us consider the reaction from the question;

2P + Q → 2R + S

and the reaction mechanism for the above reaction given thus,

P + P ⇄ T     (fast)

Q + T → R + U    (slow)

U → R + S    (fast)

we would be applying the Rate law  to determine the mechanism.

The mechanism above is a three step process where the slowest step seen is the rate determining step. From this, we can see that this slow step involves an intermediate T as reactant and is expressed in terms of a starting substance P.

It is important to understand that laws based on experiment do not allow for intermediate concentration.  

The mechanism steps for the reactions in the question  are given below when we add them by cancelling the intermediates on the opposite side of the equations then we get the overall reaction equation.

adding this steps gives a final overall reaction reaction.

2P + Q ------------˃ 2R + S

Thus the rate equation is given as

Rate (R) = K[P]²[Q]

cheers, i hope this helps

Which of the following describes a scenario in which the molecular geometry would have the smallest bond angle(s)? (A) four bond
maw [93]

Answer: The correct answer is "B" two bonding domains(or bonding pairs) or two non bonding domains(or lone pairs)

Explanation:

Molecular geometry/structure is a three dimensional shape of a molecule. It is basically an arrangement of atoms in a molecule.It is determined by the central atom, its surrounding atoms and electron pairs.According to VSEPR theory, there are 5 basic shapes of a molecule: linear, trigonal planar, tetrahedral, trigonal bipyramidal and octahedral.

A)Four bonding domains and zero non bonding domains: shape is tetrahedral and bond angle is 109.5°

B)Two bonding domains and two non bonding domains(lone pairs): shape is bent and bond angle is 104.5°

C)Three bonding domains and one non bonding domain: shape is trigonal pyramidal and bond angle is 107°

D)Two bonding domain and zero non bonding domain: shape is linear and bond angle is 107°

E)Two bonding domain and one non bonding domain: bent shape and bond angle is 120°

F)Three bonding domains and zero nonbonding domain: shape is trigonal planar and bond angle is 120°

Hence Two bonding domains and two non bonding domains have the smallest bond angle.

A substance has a density of 4.5gmL. What is this in kgL? Report your answer with two significant figures.
Ipatiy [6.2K]

Answer:

4.5 kg/L

Explanation:

Density is 4.5g/mL and it means that in 1 mL of volume, the mass contained is 4.5 g.

Let's make a rule of three

1L = 1000 mL

1 mL has a mass of 4.5 g

1000 mL would have 4500 g

Our new density would be 4500 g/L, but we may convert the g to kg

1 kg / 1000 g . 4500 g = 4.5 kg

In conclusion 4.5 g/mL = 4.5 kg/L

An organic acid is composed of carbon (45.45%), hydrogen (6.12%), and oxygen (48.44%). Its molar mass is 132.12 g/mol. Determine
Andreas93 [3]

Answer:

C4H8O4

Explanation:

To determine the molecular formula, first, let us obtain the empirical formula. This is illustrated below:

From the question given, we obtained the following information:

C = 45.45%

H = 6.12%

O = 48.44%

Divide the above by their molar mass

C = 45.45/12 = 3.7875

H = 6.12/1 = 6.12

O = 48.44/16 = 3.0275

Divide by the smallest

C = 3.7875/3.0275 = 1

H = 6.12/3.0275 = 2

O = 3.0275/3.0275 = 1

The empirical formula is CH2O

The molecular formula is given by [CH2O]n

[CH2O]n = 132.12

[12 + (2x1) + 16]n = 132.12

30n = 132.12

Divide both side by the coefficient of n i.e 30

n = 132.12/30 = 4

The molecular formula is [CH2O]n = [CH2O]4 = C4H8O4
