Today, as part of the series of posts on soils, we are going to look at ‘soil texture’. Soil forms the basis for all life but it’s important to know about its mineral constitution as well as its biological profile.
Texture refers to the ‘feel’ of the soil. This is affected by the constituent materials found within it, specifically sand, silt and clay particles. A coarse sand will feel gritty but a wet clay will feel heavy and sticky. The texture of a soil has a direct impact on the way the soil reacts to certain environmental conditions – for example, towards drought or heavy rain (with sandy soils more freely draining).
There is a big difference in the size of the different particles.
Coarse sand = diameter 2-0.2mm
Fine sand = diameter 0.2-0.02mm
Silt = diameter 0.02-0.002mm
Clay = diameter less than 0.002mm
Note how the clay particles are much smaller than the sand particles – this is important as it means the total surface area of a clay soil is much greater and so the capacity to hold water is also much greater.
Between the sand, silt and clay particles there are lots of pores. In fact a soil as a whole is generally 45% mineral, 5% organic matter (depending on the soil) and 50% pore space through which air and water can pass.
Sand –
Made up of weathered primary rock minerals.
The particles are irregular in outline.
They are large and so do not pack together easily.
Large pore spaces in between.
Air gets in very easily and water flows rapidly through it.

Identify the true statement(s). There may be one answer or more than one answer.FADH2 is a reducing agent. FADH2 is an oxidizing agent. NADH is an oxidizing agent. NADPH is a reducing agent. FAD is an oxidizing agent.
Answer:
FADH2 is a reducing agent.
FAD is an oxidizing agent.
Explanation:
The full form of FAD is flavin adenine dinucleotide. It is mainly a redox-active coenzyme which is associated with the different proteins and is involved with the enzymatic reactions in the metabolism.
FAD is obtained by donating or accepting electrons.
In the citric acid cycle,
succinate + FAD → fumarate + [tex]$FADH_2$[/tex]
Thus we see that FAD is an oxidizing agent while [tex]$FADH_2$[/tex] is a reducing agent.
Explain why this combination of compounds can or cannot make a buffer solution. Hint: apply definition of a buffer, mechanism of its action and consider whether the compound is acid (weak/strong) or base (weak/strong). HF (0.2 mol) and NaOH (0.1 mol)
Answer:
This combination can make a buffer
Explanation:
A buffer is defined as an aqueous mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base, or vice versa.
In the problem, HF is a weak acid, and its conjugate base is F⁻.
When NaOH reacts with HF, F⁻, Na⁺ and H₂O are produced as follows:
NaOH + HF → F⁻ + Na⁺ + H₂O
As there are initially 0.2mol of HF and 0.1mol NaOH, after the reaction you will have:
0.1mol HF and 0.1mol F⁻. As both, the weak acic and the conjugate base are present:
This combination can make a bufferAs the diagram model the processo se reproduction lomon) formand change formation Sexual reproduction results in a child that is different from its parents because

A 0.200 M solution of a week acid, HA, is 9.4% ionized. The molar concentration of H+ is 0.0188 M. the Acid-dissociation constant, Ka, for HA is...?
We are given:
Initial concentration of HA: 0.200 Molar
The acid is 9.4% ionized
Dissociation constant (α) = (Percent Ionized) / 100 = 0.094
Molar concentration of H+ = 0.0188
Let's Chill! (making the ICE box):
Reaction: HA ⇄ H⁺ + A⁻
Initial: 0.200M - -
Equilibrium: 0.200(1-α) 0.200α 0.200α
while we're here, let's confirm the given equilibrium concentration of H⁺ ions
from the table here, we can see that the equilibrium concentration of H⁺ ions is 0.200α, we know that α = 0.094
[H⁺] = 0.200α = 0.200 * 0.094 = 0.0188 M
which means that we're on the right track
We're basically scientists at this point (finding the dissociation constant):
Acid dissociation is nothing but the equilibrium constant, but for the dissociation of Acids
From the reaction above, we can write the equation of the acid dissociation constant:
Ka = [H⁺][A⁻] / [HA]
now, let's take the values from the 'equilibrium' row of the ice box the plug those in this equation
Ka = (0.200α)(0.200α) / [0.200(1-α)]
Ka = (0.200α)²/[0.200(1-α)]
plugging the value of α
Ka = (0.200*0.094)² / [0.200(0.906)]
Ka = (0.0188)² / 0.1812
Ka = 1.95 * 10⁻³
Name the substance which occurs in all the physical states in nature?
Answer: water
For many centuries, it was considered that there were only three states of matter: solid, liquid and gas (the three that are present and stable in our world). And water is the substance that best represents them, because it is the only one that exists naturally in the three states.
Explanation: Matter can exist in one of three main states: solid, liquid, or gas.
Solid matter is composed of tightly packed particles. ...
Liquid matter is made of more loosely packed particles. ...
Gaseous matter is composed of particles packed so loosely that it has neither a defined shape nor a defined volume.
Answer:
Water is the only common substance that is naturally found as a solid, liquid or gas. Solids, liquids and gases are known as states of matter.

However, if you take into account the fifth state of matter, Bose-Einstein Condensate, which has been recently discovered, there is no substance as such.
It took 10.40 mL of a NaOH solution to neutralize 0.307 g of KHP. What is the molarity of the NaOH solution
Answer:
0.144 M
Explanation:
First we convert 0.307 g of KHP (potassium hydrogen phthalate, KHC₈H₄O₄) into moles, using its molar mass:
0.307 g ÷ 204.22 g/mol = 0.0015 mol KHP1 mol of KHP reacts with 1 mol of NaOH, that means that in 10.40 mL of the NaOH solution there were 0.0015 moles of NaOH.
Now we calculate the molarity of the NaOH solution:
10.40 mL / 1000 = 0.0104 LMolarity = 0.0015 mol / 0.0104 L = 0.144 MQuestion 1

A gas at STP occupies 0.055 L of space. If the pressure changes to
2.8 atm and the temperature increases to 195°C, what is the new
volume?
Answer:
0.034 L
Explanation:
From the question given above, the following data were obtained:
Initial volume (V₁) = 0.055 L
Initial pressure (P₁) = stp = 1 atm
Initial temperature (T₁) = stp = 273 K
Final pressure (P₂) = 2.8 atm
Final temperature (T₂) = 195 °C = 195 °C + 273 = 468 K
Final volume (V₂) =?
The final volume of the gas can be obtained as follow:
P₁V₁ / T₁ = P₂V₂ / T₂
1 × 0.055 / 273 = 2.8 × V₂ / 468
0.055 / 273 = 2.8 × V₂ / 468
Cross multiply
273 × 2.8 × V₂ = 0.055 × 468
764.4 × V₂ = 25.74
Divide both side by 764.4
V₂ = 25.74 / 764.4
V₂ = 0.034 L
Therefore, the new volume of the gas is 0.034 L.

N HCI. The mixture is diluted to 100 ml. WI
is the nature of mixture?
IMOF 20
1. You didn't post the question to Number 1.
2.
10% means There's 10g in 100ml of this solution.
This is the weight/volume(w/v) expression of concentration.
So
We have Mass =10g
volume =100ml
Molarity = Moles of solute/volume of solution(in LITRES)
Moles=Mass/Molar mass
Molar mass of NaOH=40g/mol
Mole=10/40
=0.25mole
Volume =100ml =0.1Litres
MOLARITY=0.25/0.1 =
=2.5M
OPTION B.
3. NOTE: THE MOLARITY AND NORMALITY OF NAOH AND HCL ARE THE SAME(This doesn't happen for all compounds tho)
So We can take 2.5N(Normality) of NaOH to be 2.5M(Molarity) NaOH
I think you forgot to write the Normality of the second one. I'll take it to be 1N. Maybe you can then Input supposed value when you're solving on your own
So
1N HCl is same as 1M HCL
We were given their respective volumes
2.5M NaOH can also be written as 2.5mole/volume(in Liters)
The volume of NaOH =10ml or 0.01L
Moles = 2.5mole/L x 0.01L
You notice that Liters on top and bottom cancels out... leaving the moles
So
Mole=0.01x2.5 = 0.025moles of NaOH
we're gonna do the same for 1N HCl in 20ml(0.02L)
So
Mole = 1 x 0.02 =0.02moles
Total Mole = 0.02 + 0.025 =0.045moles
The Final Volume is 100ml as stated in the question. It was diluted to 100ml or 0.1L
So
Final Concentration In Molarity
= Total Moles/Volume in L
=0.045/0.1
=0.45M.
When an acetic acid solution is titrated with sodium hydroxide, the slope of the titration curve (pH versus volume of NaOH added) increases when sodium hydroxide is first added. This change shows that ________
Answer:
When an acetic acid solution is titrated with sodium hydroxide, the slope of the titration curve (pH versus volume of NaOH added) increases when sodium hydroxide is first added. This change shows that acetic acid is being converted to sodium acetate.
Explanation:
ABOUT TITRATION - Titration is a chemical analysis method for determining the amount of a constituent in a sample by adding an exact known quantity of another substance to the measured sample with which the desired constituent reacts in a specific, known proportion. A burette, which is essentially a long, graduated measuring tube with a stopcock and a delivery tube at the bottom end, is used to gradually administer a standard solution of titrating reagent, or titrant.
It is feasible to identify a good visual color indicator for many titration processes that will signify the end point at, or very near to, the equivalence point.
Acid-base titrations, precipitation titrations, complex-formation titrations, and oxidation-reduction (redox) titrations are examples of such titrations, which are categorised according to the nature of the chemical reaction that occurs between the sample and the titrant.
Titrations of metal ions with the reagent disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetate are the most important titrations based on complex-formation processes (a salt of edetic acid, or EDTA).
Hence , the answer is that acetic acid is converted into sodium acetate.
Pure magnesium metal is often found as ribbons and can easily burn in the presence of oxygen. When 3.31 g of magnesium ribbon burns with 8.45 g of oxygen, a bright, white light and a white, powdery product are formed. Enter the balanced chemical equation for this reaction. Be sure to include all physical states.
Answer:
2Mg(s) + O2(g) ----->2MgO(s)
Explanation:
In writing a balanced chemical reaction equation, the rule of thumb is that the number of atoms of each element on the reactant side must be the same as the number of atoms of the same elements on the products side.
Hence for the reaction of magnesium and oxygen shown below;
2Mg(s) + O2(g) ----->2MgO(s)
We notice that there are two atoms each of magnesium and oxygen on both sides of the reaction equation hence the equation is balanced.
