Consider the following reaction in the forward direction. Identify the base:

Chemistry
1 answer:
Advocard [28]10 months ago
4 0

If we consider the reaction CH₃O⁻ + H₂O ⇌ CH₃OH + OH⁻ in the forward direction, the base in the reaction is CH₃O⁻

A compound can be acidic, basic or neutral in nature. Basicity of the compound is determined when it either releases hydroxide ions, donates electrons or else accepts the protons from a compound.

In the reaction CH₃O⁻ + H₂O ⇌ CH₃OH + OH⁻:

CH₃O⁻ accepts proton or [H+] ion to become CH₃OH. Thus, CH₃O⁻ is the base in the reaction

H₂O donate [H+] ion or proton, therefore H2O change into OH-. Thus, H₂O is an acid in the reaction.

Which models of the atom from task 1 are not supported by Rutherford's experimental evidence? For each
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

Dalton's atomic model and Rutherford model

Explanation:

There were differences in the models:

Thompson's experiment showed that atoms contained tiny negatively charged particles called electrons.

On the other hand, Rutherford gold experiment led to the conclusion that the atom is a empty space with tiny, dense and positively charged nucleus.

Dalton thought that atoms were the smallest units of matter that could not be broken down further. This assumption continued to hold until it was later discovered that the atom was composed of subatomic particles.

How does the sun's position in the sky affect rainbows?
IRINA_888 [86]
When the sun is low in the sky, light rays pass horizontally through more of the lower atmosphere to reach the earth's surface or an observer's eye. ... Because short-wavelength blue and green light are scattered more than red and yellow light, rainbows at times of sunrise and sunset often display the brightest reds.

The visible spectrum of the Cr(acac)3
Sati [7]

Explanation:

The observable visible spectrum of Cr(acac)3 complex is different from that of

[Cr(en)3]Br3 due to strength of bonded ligand in the coordination sphere.

en is a strong field ligand compared to acac thus pairing  occurs. In both the complexes

Cr is in +3 state, configuration [Ar] 3d^3. There are 3 unpaired e in Cr(acac)3 whereas 1 unpaired e in [Cr(en)3]Br3 due to pairing.

Oil is more dense than water. How will this affect the weight of objects that will float on it?
horrorfan [7]
Oil is more dense than alcohol, but less dense than water. The molecules that make up the oil are larger than those that that make up water, so they cannot pack as tightly together as the water molecules can. They take up more space per unit area and are less dense.

Describe the sources of water pollution in hydrological cycle.
Bingel [31]

Explanation:

The hydrological cycle is the continuous cycling of water between land, open water surfaces and the sea. This cycle begins with evaporation, sunlight evaporates water from the surface of earth, next condensation happens, the water absorbed is now used to form clouds, after these clouds are filled to the maximum, precipitation happens, this can be in the form of rainfall and snow, this cycle finalizes when the precipitation of water runs off the land and back into water sources.

Sources of water pollution:

  • <em>During precipitation: </em>Smog can be gathered in the atmosphere, during precipitation this pollution can turn into acid rain.
  • <em>During runoff:</em> After acid rain hits the ground this polluted water can run into water sources (lakes, rivers, reservoirs).To some extent rivers are a self-renewing resource, if a small quantity of pollution discharges in it the river can return to a clean, unpolluted condition, unfortunately, if the pollution is too big the renewing won't be possible, another problem is even though rivers get cleaned the pollution moves to the seas. Lakes are even more vulnerable to pollution, the flushing effect in these water bodies is less evident than in rivers.

I hope you find this information useful and interesting! Good luck!
