What is 2 chemical properties of acids and bases

1 answer:

⇒ Acids taste sour, react with metals, react with carbonates, and turn blue litmus paper red. Bases taste bitter, feel slippery, do not react with carbonates and turn red litmus paper blue.

The study of acids and bases is crucial to chemistry. The Lewis acid/base motif, which broadens the concept of an acid and base beyond H+ and OH- ions, is one of the most relevant theories.

Acids are ionic compounds, which means they have a positive or negative charge. In water, these ionic compounds separate to create hydrogen ions, or H+.

The quantity of H+ ions in the solution determines how strong an acid is. Acid is stronger the more H+ there is. Bases are ionic substances that separate in water to produce the negatively charged hydroxide ion (OH-). The quantity of Hydroxide ions in a base determines its strength (OH-). The strength of the base increases with OH- ion concentration.

Hope this helps,

Answer:

c. Fission and fusion are two processes that release very little amounts of energy.

Explanation:

This statement is false. In fact, both fission and fusion are processes which release very large amounts of energy. The statement can be rewritten as it is true as follows:

"Fission and fusion are two processes that release very large amounts of energy."

Fission occurs when a large nucleus break apart, splitting into smaller nuclei, while fusion occurs when two light nuclei combine together into a larger nucleus. In both cases, the mass of the reactants is larger than the mass of the final products, so some of the mass has been converted into energy, according to Einstein's equation:

$E = \Delta m c^2$

where

E is the energy released

$\Delta m$ is the mass lost in the process

c is the speed of light

Since c is a very large number ( $c=3\cdot 10^8 m/s$ ), we see that even a very small mass $\Delta m$ causes the released of a huge amount of energy, so both fission and fusion release large amounts of energy.
