g An aqueous solution of nitric acid is standardized by titration with a 0.137 M solution of calcium hydroxide. If 19.0 mL of base are required to neutralize 21.8 mL of the acid, what is the molarity of the nitric acid solution
Answer:
M of HNO₃ is 0.119M
Explanation:
A basic concept of titration is that in equivalence point:
mmoles of acid = mmoles of base
We have data from base and we only have data from volume of acid.
In a case our titration is a strong acid against a strong base.
We apply formula:
M of acid . Vol of acid = M of base . Vol of base
M of acid . 21.8 mL = 0.137M . 19 mL
M of acid = (0.137M . 19 mL) / 21.8 mL
M of acid = 0.119 M
When we neutralize all the titrant we reach the equivalence point.
At this point, pH = 7

B. Cu2+ + 2Ag* → Cu + 2Ag
C. Cu2+ + 2Ag → Cu + 2Ag+
D. Cu + 2Ag Cu²+ + 2Ag+
give the wrong answer and I'm reporting
Answer:
B
Explanation:
b/c copper is readuction agent
The most likely redox reaction that would occur if silver and copper metal were added to a solution that contained silver and copper ions is [tex]\rm Cu^{2+} + 2Ag \rightarrow Cu + 2Ag^+[/tex]. The correct answer is option C.
Redox reaction is a reaction in which reduction and oxidation takes place simultaneously.
In this reaction:
[tex]\rm Cu^{2+} + 2Ag \rightarrow Cu + 2Ag^+[/tex]
Copper metal has a higher reduction potential than silver metal, which means that it will be oxidized to [tex]\rm Cu^{2+}[/tex] ions before silver metal is oxidized to [tex]\rm Ag^+[/tex] ions.
The [tex]\rm Cu^{2+}[/tex] ions in the solution will then react with the silver metal to form [tex]\rm Ag^+[/tex] ions and Copper metal. This reaction is an example of a displacement reaction, where a more reactive metal removes a less reactive metal from its compound.
Therefore, option C. [tex]\rm Cu^{2+} + 2Ag \rightarrow Cu + 2Ag^+[/tex] is the correct answer.

A skydiver slows down from 65 m/s to 5 m/s by opening the parachute. If this
takes 0.75 seconds, what is the skydiver's acceleration?
A. 45 m/s2 up
B. 80 m/s2 up
C. 45 m/s2 down
D. 80 m/s2 down
Answer:
D. -80m/s^2
Explanation:
V = u + at
5 = 65 + a (0.75)
0.75a = -60
a = -60/0.75
a = -80m/s^2
Therefore, is decelerating at 80m/s^2
Answer:
[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf D. \ 80 \ m/s^2 \ down}}[/tex]
Explanation:
We are asked to find the acceleration of a skydiver. Acceleration is the change in velocity over the change in time, so the formula for calculating acceleration is:
[tex]a= \frac{v_f-v_i}{t}[/tex]
The skydiver was initially traveling 65 meters per second, then he slowed down to a final velocity of 5 meters per second. He slowed down in 0.75 seconds.
[tex]\bullet \ v_f = 5 \ m/s \\\bullet \ v_i= 65 \ m/s \\\bullet \ t= 0.75 \ s[/tex]
Substitute the values into the formula.
[tex]a= \frac{ 5 \ m/s - 65 \ m/s}{0.75 \ s}[/tex]
Solve the numerator.
[tex]a= \frac{-60 \ m/s}{0.75 \ s}[/tex]
Divide.
[tex]a= -80 \ m/s^2[/tex]
The acceleration of the skydiver is -80 meters per second squared or 80 meters per second squared down. The skydiver is slowing down or decelerating, so the acceleration is negative or down.

At a constant temperature, a sample of gas occupies 1.5 L at a pressure of 2.8 ATM. What will be the pressure of this sample, in atmospheres, if the new volume is 0.92 L?
Using boyles law
[tex]\boxed{\sf v\propto \dfrac{1}{p}}[/tex]
[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto P_1V_1=P_2V_2[/tex]
[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto P_2=\dfrac{P_1V_1}{V_2}[/tex]
[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto P_2=\dfrac{2.8\times 1.5}{0.92}[/tex]
[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto P_2=\dfrac{4.2}{0.92}[/tex]
[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto P_2=4.56atm[/tex]
[tex]\\ \sf\longmapsto P_2\approx 4.6atm[/tex]
Answer:
[tex]\boxed {\boxed {\sf 4.6 \ atm}}[/tex]
Explanation:
We are asked to find the new pressure given a change in volume. We will use Boyle's Law, which states the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure. The formula for this law is:
[tex]P_1V_1= P_2V_2[/tex]
Initially, the gas occupies 1.5 liters at a pressure of 2.8 atmospheres.
[tex]1.5 \ L * 2.8 \ atm = P_2V_2[/tex]
The volume is changed to 0.92 liters, but the pressure is unknown.
[tex]1.5 \ L * 2.8 \ atm = P_2* 0.92 \ L[/tex]
We are solving for the final pressure, so we must isolate the variable P₂. It is being multiplied by 0.92 liters. The inverse operation of multiplication is division, so we divide both sides by 0.92 L.
[tex]\frac {1.5 \ L * 2.8 \ atm}{0.92 \ L} = \frac{P_2* 0.92 \ L}{0.92 \ L}[/tex]
[tex]\frac {1.5 \ L * 2.8 \ atm}{0.92 \ L}= P_2[/tex]
The units of liters cancel each other out.
[tex]\frac {1.5 * 2.8 \ atm}{0.92 }=P_2[/tex]
[tex]\frac {4.2}{0.92} \ atm= P_2[/tex]
[tex]4.565217391 \ atm = P_2[/tex]
The original measurements of pressure and volume have 2 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we calculated, that is the tenths place. The 6 in the hundredth place tells us to round the 5 up to a 6.
[tex]4.6 \ atm \approx P_2[/tex]
The pressure is approximately 4.6 atmospheres.

Explanation:
From the given information:
The metal ion, two ions of [tex]M^{+}[/tex] reacted with Cl⁻ to form [tex]MCl_n[/tex] i.e. the compound formed is [tex]MCl_2[/tex].
The concentration of the metal ion formed [tex][M^+][/tex] = 8.279 M

d. loss of regulatory binding site for ATP in phosphofructokinase.
1. Increase
2. decrease
3. No effect
Answer:
a. Decrease
b. Increase
c. Increase
d. No effect
Explanation:
Glycolysis is present in muscle cells which converts glucose to pyruvate, water and NADH. It produces two molecules of ATP. Cellular respiration produces more molecules of ATP from pyruvate in mitochondria. Glycolysis increases in pyruvate kinase.
a. Loss of binding site for fructose 1,6-bisphosphate in pyruvate kinase: Decrease
b. Loss of allosteric binding site for ATP in pyruvate kinase: No effect
c. Loss of allosteric binding site for AMP in phosphofructokinase: Increase
d. Loss of regulatory binding site for ATP in phosphofructokinase: Increase
A. An important substrate in the glycolysis pathway is fructose 1,6-bisphosphate. It stimulates pyruvate kinase, an essential enzyme in glycolysis. The amount of pyruvate kinase that is activated will decrease if the fructose 1,6-bisphosphate binding site in pyruvate kinase is eliminated. As a result the rate of glycolysis in the muscle cells will probably decrease.
B. The allosteric ATP binding site of pyruvate kinase controls how active the enzyme is. However, pyruvate kinase is not significantly regulated by ATP in muscle cells. Therefore, it is unlikely that deletion of the ATP-binding allosteric site in pyruvate kinase would have no effect on the rate of glycolysis in muscle cells.
C. The rate-limiting enzyme in glycolysis, phosphofructokinase, is activated from all forms by AMP. It increases the rate of glycolysis by stimulating the activity of phosphofructokinase. If the allosteric binding site for AMP is eliminated, phosphofructokinase activation will be reduced. As a result, the rate of glycolysis in muscle cells will decrease.
D. Phosphofructokinase is inhibited allosterically by ATP. It regulates the rate of glycolysis by a feedback mechanism. High ATP concentrations cause phosphofructokinase to bind to its regulatory site, limiting its activity and delaying glycolysis. If the regulatory binding site for ATP is eliminated, the inhibitory action of ATP on phosphofructokinase would be lost. As a result, muscle cells will glycolysis at a faster rate.

Answer:
boiling point elevation - colligative property
color - non-colligative property
freezing point depression - colligative property
vapor pressure lowering - colligative property
density - non-colligative property
Explanation:
A colligative property is a property that depends on the number of particles present in the system.
Freezing point depression, boiling point elevation and vapour pressure lowering are all colligative properties of solutions.
Colour and density do not depend on the number of particles present hence they are not colligative properties.
The boiling point elevation, freezing point depression, and vapor pressure lowering are colligative properties. And color and density are non-colligative properties.
Explanation:
The colligative properties are the properties depending upon the number of particles of solute not on the nature of the solute.Example of colligative properties:Vapor pressure loweringElevation boiling pointDepression in freezing pointOsmotic pressureThe non-colligative properties are the properties depending upon the nature of solute and solvent.Example of non-colligative properties :ViscositySurface tensionDensitySolubilitySo, from this, we can conclude that boiling point elevation, freezing point depression, and vapor pressure lowering are colligative properties.

Van der Waals forces hold molecules together by inducing temporary dipoles that attract each other. That is option C
Van Der Waals forces are example of those intermolecular forces which are weaker than ionic and covalent bonds that exists between molecules.
Van Der Waals forces was postulated by a Dutch physicist known as Van Der Waals. He postulated the existence of weak, short-range forces of attraction, which are independent of normal bonding forces, between non-polar molecules. He came to this conclusion after studying the of real gases at low temperatures and high pressures that:
electrons in a non-polar molecule such as hydrogen are close to one nucleus as to the other, although momentary concentration at one end of the molecule may occur, this momentary concentration of electron cloud on one side create a temporary dipole in the hydrogen molecule, that is, one side of the molecule acquires a partial negative charge while the other side acquires a partial positive charge of equal magnitude, the temporary dipole induces a similar dipole in an adjacent behavior molecule, this results in a temporary dipole-induced dipole attraction between the positive and negative ends of the adjacent molecules.This is how weak Van Der Waals forces are set up.
