KCl is neutral because KOH is a strong base and HCl is a strong acid

To determine if the salt is neutral, acidic or basic, determine how the salt was made, or from which acid and base it was derived. Once we have determined how the salt was made, determine if the acid and base are both strong, weak or one of each.  If both are strong (e.g. NaOH + HCl), then the salt (NaCl) is NEUTRAL.  If the base is strong and the acid is weak (KOH + HCN), then the salt (KCN) is BASIC.  IF the base is weak and the acid is strong (NH3 + HCl), then the salt (NH4Cl) is ACIDIC.  If both the base and the acid are weak (NH3 + CH3COOH), then then salt (CH3COONH4) will have a pH determined by which is stronger (the acid or the base) and this will depend on the Ka of the weak acid compared to the Kb of the weak base.

KCl is neutral because KOH is a strong base and HCl is a strong acid NaCN is generally basic because NaOH is a strong base and HCN is a very week acid. NH4NO3 is usually acid because HNO3 is a strong acid and NH4OH is a week base

CH3COONH4 is exactly neutral because both NH4OH ad CH3COOH are respectively week base and week acid. Moreover, the Ka of acetic acid is exactly equal to the Kb of NH4OH

To know about strong base.

For each molecule, specify the polarity of the bonds and the overall polarity of the molecule.
olasank [31]
Each Be–Cl bond is polar because the two atoms have different electronegativities. The number of outer atoms (2) and lone pairs on the central atom (0) indicate that this molecule has a linear geometry. The bonds in a linear molecule are symmetric, and so their dipoles cancel out.

Each O–H bond is polar because the two atoms have different electronegativities. The number of outer atoms (2) and lone pairs on the central atom (2) indicate that this molecule has a bent geometry. The bonds in a bent molecule are asymmetric, and so their dipoles do not cancel out. In addition, the asymmetric arrangement of the lone pairs on O further contribute to the dipole of this molecule.

An O–O or O=O bond is nonpolar because the two atoms have the same electronegativity. Because there is no overall polarity in O2, the molecule is nonpolar.

13) Find the mass, in grams, of 5.75 liters of N2.
faltersainse [42]
Molecular weight of N2
gram Atomic weight of N is 14 g.
gram Molecular weight = 14 g×2
= 28 g
Liter concepts
1 liter of gas always occupies 1 gram molecular weight .
Application of the concept
5.75 liter gives 0.257g


1 mole will occupy 28 g

0.257 will occupy 28 g × 0.257
= 7.196 g

The mass of the gas is 7.196 g.

Hope it helps you

Is a graph that starts at 25 and drops to 21, stays the same in temperature an endothermic reaction or an exothermic reaction?
ki77a [65]

Answer:

Explanation:

Endo and Exo thermic are defined by what changes take place in the environment of the reaction.

If the temperature goes up, the reaction is giving up heat. It is Exothermic.

If the temperature goes down, the reaction requires heat. It is Endothermic.

In this case, the temperature went down. The reaction is Endothermic.
