Amphiprotic compounds are able to both donate and accept a proton.

Amphiprotic compounds contain a hydrogen atom and lone pair of valence electron.

For example, HSO₃⁻ (hydrogen sulfate ion) is an amphiprotic compound.

Balanced chemical equation for reaction when HSO₃⁻ donate protons to water:

HSO₃⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ SO₄²⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq).

Ka = [SO₄²⁻] · [H₃O⁺] / [HSO₃⁻]

Balanced chemical equation for reaction when HSO₃⁻ accepts protons from water:

HSO₃⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ H₂SO₄(aq) + OH⁻(aq).

Kb = [H₂SO₄] · [OH⁻] / [HSO₃⁻]

Water (H₂O), amino acids, hydrogen carbonate ions (HCO₃⁻) are examples of amphiprotic species.

Another example, water is an amphiprotic substance:

H₂O + HCl → H₃O⁺ + Cl⁻

H₂O + NH₃ → NH₄⁺ + OH⁻

Which electromagnetic radiation on the electromagnetic spectrum can be detected by the human eye?

qaws [65]

Answer:

D. Visible Light

Explanation:

D is the right answer because visible light is perceived by humans as color and the rest aren't visible at all. For example, if you broke a bone and have to have an X-ray done, you can't see the x-rays. When you are heating something in the microwave, you can't see the waves. And when you are listening to the radio in the car, you also can't see the waves.

iragen [17]

Answer:

Size of the nucleus of an atom is very small as compared to the size of the atom.

According to Rutherford gold foil experiment, nucleus is very small in size as compared to the size of the atom as a whole. Nucleus is very hard, dense and positively charged which consists of protons and neutrons.

Calculate the hight of a column of liquid glycerol in meters required to exert the same pressure as 3.02 m if CCl4?

katovenus [111]

Answer:

Approximately $3.81\; \rm m$ .

Explanation:

Look up the density $\rho$ of carbon tetrachloride, $\rm CCl_4$ , and glycerol:

Density of carbon tetrachloride: approximately $1.59\times 10^{3}\; \rm kg \cdot m^{-3}$ .
Density of glycerol: approximately $1.26\times 10^{3}\; \rm kg \cdot m^{-3}$ .

Let $g$ denote the gravitational field strength. (Typically $g \approx 9.81\; \rm N \cdot kg^{-1}$ near the surface of the earth.) For a column of liquid with a height of $h$ , if the density of the liquid is $\rho$ , the pressure at the bottom of the column would be:

$P = \rho\cdot g \cdot h$ .

The pressure at the bottom of this carbon tetrachloride column would be:

$\begin{aligned} P &= \rho \cdot g \cdot h \\ & \approx 1.59\times 10^{3} \; \rm kg \cdot m^{-3} \times 9.81\; \rm N \cdot kg^{-1} \times 3.02 \; \rm m \approx 4.71 \times 10^{4} \; \rm N \cdot m^{-2} \end{aligned}$ .

Rearrange the equation $P = \rho\cdot g \cdot h$ for $h$ :

$\displaystyle h = \frac{P}{\rho \cdot g}$ .

Apply this equation to calculate the height of the liquid glycerol column:

$\begin{aligned}h &= \frac{P}{\rho \cdot g} \\ &\approx \frac{4.71 \times 10^{4}\; \rm N \cdot m^{-2}}{1.26 \times 10^{3}\; \rm kg \cdot m^{-3} \times 9.81\; \rm N \cdot kg^{-1}} \approx 3.81\; \rm m\end{aligned}$ .

Nitric acid, a major industrial and laboratory acid, is produced commercially by the multi-step Ostwald process, which begins wi

Marizza181 [45]

Answer: 3.178 Kg of ammonia must be used to produce 7.839 kg of nitric acid and The equations are not balanced. Explanation: Ostwald process is a multi-step for manufacturing Nitric Acid. First, We must check if our equations are balanced or not, by checking the amount of each element before and after the arrow. Step 1: NH3(g) + O2(g) ⟶ NO(g) + H2O(l) Step 2: NO(g) + O2(g) ⟶ NO2(g) Step 3: NO2(g) + H2O(l) ⟶ HNO3(l) + NO(g) For example in Step 1, the amount of Hydrogen atoms are different on both sides. On left side we can count 3 hydrogen atoms while on the right side we can count only 2 hydrogen atoms. In the Step 2, the amount of Oxygen atoms are different on both sides too. On the Left side we can count 3 oxygen atoms while on the right side we can count only 2 oxygen atoms and in step 3 the amount of Nitrogen atoms are different on both sides too. On the left side we can count 1 nitrogen atom while on the right side we can count 2 nitrogen atoms. So, Let´s balance equations by inspection, just adding coefficients to each compound, until the amount of atoms are equal on both sides. Step 1: 4NH3(g) + 5O2(g) ⟶4 NO(g) +6 H2O(l) Step 2: 2NO(g) + O2(g) ⟶ 2NO2(g) Step 3: 3NO2(g) + H2O(l) ⟶ 2HNO3(l) + NO(g) Second we gather the information what we are going to use in our calculations. Final Mass of HNO3 = 7,839Kg and Molecular Weigth = 63,01g/mol NH3 Molecular Weight= 17,031 g/mol Third we start discoverying the amount of NH3 that reacted completed to generate 7,839Kg of HNO3, using the giving equation and its respective molecular weights. 7,839Kg of HNO3 x 1000g / 1Kg x 1mol HNO3 / 63,01g HNO3 x 3mol NO2 / 2 mol HNO3 x 2 mol NO/ 2 mol NO2 x 4 mol NH3/4 mol NO x 17,031g NH3/1 mol NH3 x 1 Kg / 1000g= 3,178 Kg NH3 The amount of NH3 that is required to produce 7,839 Kg of HNO3 is 3,178 Kg NH3
