Classify these salts as acidic, basic, or neutral. KCL, NH4Br, K2CO3, NaCN, LiClO4? This is what I put but got it wrong: KCl = b

asic NH4Br = acidic K2CO3 = basic NaCN = basic LiClO = Neutral Can someone me what I did wrong, thanks.

KCl : neutral

NH₄Br : acidic

K₂CO₃ : basic

NaCN : basic

LiClO : basic

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Salt is an ion compound consisting of metal cations and residual acid anions. Cation salts can come from a base and anions come from acids. So that each salt has a base component and an acid component

So there are 4 properties of salt

1. salts from strong acids and strong bases are neutral

2. salts from strong acids and weak bases are acidic

3. salts from weak acids and strong bases are basic

4. salts of weak acids and weak bases depend on the value of the ionization constant of the acid and its base (Ka and Kb)

Ka> Kb is acidic

Ka <Kb is basic

Ka = Kb is neutral

  •  1. KCL,

salt of strong acid HCl and strong base of KOH, neutral

  • 2. NH₄Br,

salt of strong acid HBr and weak base NH₄OH, acidic

  •  3. K₂CO₃,

salt of H₂CO₃ weak acid and strong base KOH, basic

  • 4. NaCN,

salt of a weak acid HCN and a strong base NaOH, basic

  • 5. LiClO

salt of a weak acid HClO and a strong base LiOH, basic

In classifying salts as neutral, acidic, or basic, it is important to take note of the strength of the acids and bases that they come from. A strong acid and strong base produce a neutral salt. A weak acid and strong base produce a basic salt. A strong acid and weak base produce an acidic salt. So the answers must be:

KCl = neutral (from HCl and KOH)
NH4Br = acidic (from NH4 and HBr)
K2CO3 = basic (from KOH and H2CO3)
NaCN = basic (from NaOH and HCN)
LiClO = basic (from LiOH and HClO)

What is the coefficient of silver in the final, balanced equation for this reaction?
vekshin1

This is an incomplete question, the complete question is attached below.

Answer : The coefficient of silver in the final, balanced equation for this reaction is, 3

Explanation :

Redox reaction or Oxidation-reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which the oxidation and reduction reaction takes place simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element increases. Or we can say that in oxidation, the loss of electrons takes place.

Reduction reaction : It is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. In this, oxidation state of an element decreases. Or we can say that in reduction, the gain of electrons takes place.

The given redox reaction is,

Ag^+(aq)+Al(s)\rightarrow Ag(s)+Al^{3+}(aq)

The oxidation-reduction half reaction will be :

Oxidation : Al\rightarrow Al^{3+}+3e^-

Reduction : Ag^{+}+1e^-\rightarrow Ag

In order to balance the electrons, we multiply the reduction reaction by 3 and then added both equation, we get the balanced redox reaction.

The balanced redox reaction will be,

3Ag^+(aq)+Al(s)\rightarrow 3Ag(s)+Al^{3+}(aq)

From the balanced redox reaction we conclude that, the coefficient of silver in the final balanced equation for this reaction is 3.

Hence, the correct option is 3.

What substance(s) do you predict will be able to diffuse through the cell membrane and why?
vovangra [49]

Consider substances that can easily diffuse through the lipid bilayer of the cell membrane, such as the gases oxygen (O2) and carbon dioxide (CO2). These small, fat soluble gasses and other small lipid soluble molecules can dissolve in the membrane and enter or exit the cell following their concentration gradient.
