<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option d.

<u>Explanation:</u>

According to Lewis acid-base concept:

The substance which is donating electron pair is considered as Lewis base and the substance which is accepting electron pair is considered as Lewis acid.

For the given chemical reaction:

CuO(s)+CO_2(g)\rightarrow CuCO_3(s)

CO_2 is accepting electron pair and is getting converted to CO_3^{2-}. Thus, it is considered as Lewis acid.

O^{2-} present in CuO is a Lewis base because it is donating electron pair.

Thus, the correct answer is Option d.

Alka-seltzer is an antacid that is dissolved in water before use. for an experiment, three tablets of alka-seltzer are dissolved
Naddika [18.5K]

Alka-seltzer in an antacid that contains a mixture of sodium bicarbonate and citric acid. When the tablet is dissolved in water, the reactants which are in solid form in tablet become aqueous and react with each other.

During this reaction, Carbon Dioxide gas is evolved which causes the reaction mixture to fizz. The equation is given below.

NaHCO_{3}\ (aq) +  H_{3}C_{6}H_{5}O_{7} (aq)\rightarrow Na_{3}C_{6}H_{5}O_{7}(aq)+ CO_{2}(g)+H_{2}O (l)

Rate of the above reaction is affected by the Temperature.

As the temperature increases , the rate of the reaction increases. This happens because at higher temperature, the collisions between reacting species are more which result in formation of product in less time. This increases the rate of reaction.

We have been given equal volumes of water for each beaker. But the temperature of beaker c is 80°C which is the highest temperature. That means the reaction in beaker c is fastest.

Whereas beaker a is at lowest temperature (30°C) , therefore the reaction in beaker a would be slowest .

Therefore the answer that correctly orders the reaction rates from fastest to slowest reaction is beaker c > beaker b > beaker a

The normal freezing point of water is 0.00 ⁰C. What is the freezing point of a solution containing450.0 mg of ethylene glycol (M
anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

Freezing T° of solution = - 8.98°C

Explanation:

We apply Freezing point depression to solve this problem, the colligative property that has this formula:

Freezing T° of pure solvent - Freezing T° of solution = Kf . m

Kf = 1.86°C/m, this is a constant which is unique for each solvent. In this case, we are using water

m = molality (moles of solute / 1kg of solvent)

We convert the mass of solvent from g to kg

1.5 g . 1kg/1000g = 0.0015 kg

We convert the mass of solute, to moles. Firstly we make this conversion, from mg to g → 450mg . 1g/1000mg = 0.450 g

0.450 g. 1mol / 62.07g = 7.25×10⁻³ moles

Molality → 7.25×10⁻³ mol / 0.0015 kg = 4.83 m

- Freezing T° of solution = 1.86°C /m . 4.83 m - Freezing T° of pure solvent

-Freezing T° of solution = 1.86°C /m . 4.83 m - 0°C

Freezing T° of solution = - 8.98°C
