Answer:

Laboratory acids are far too dangerous to taste, but you will have swallowed some dilute weak acids. Acids have a sour taste, like vinegar, which contains ethanoic acid, and lemons, which contain citric acid. These are safe to use in food, but they can still hurt if they get into a cut or into your eyes.

Explanation:

They can safely be consumed and do not irritate the skin. However, at greater concentrations weak acids can be harmful. Acids can react violently with water and are harmful in the presence of moisture in the mouth or eyes or in proximity with other aqueous solutions.

A balloon contains 11.1 g of nitrogen monoxide gas (NO). how many molecules are in the balloon?

grandymaker [24]

The number of molecules that are in balloon are = 2.227 x10^23 molecules

<h3> calculation</h3>

calculate the number of moles of NO

moles = mass/molar mass

molar mass of NO = 14+ 16 = 30 g/mol

moles is therefore= 11.1 g/30g/mol= 0.37 moles

by use of Avogadro's constant that is

1 mole= 6.02 x10^23 molecules

0.37 =? molecules

=(6.02 x10^23 x 0.37 moles)/ 1mole=2.227 x10^23 molecules

Write a balanced chemical equation for the standard formation reaction of liquid acetic acid hch3co2.

Afina-wow [57]

The balanced chemical equation for the standard formation reaction of liquid acetic acid is given as ,

$2C(gr) +2H_{2} (g) +O_{2} (g)$ → $CH_{3} COOH(l)$

The reaction that form the products from their elements in their standard state is called formation of reaction .The acetic acid consist C , H , and O , So, determine their standard state . Carbon is graphite at 25°C and 1 atm , whereas hydrogen and oxygen are diatomic gases . Hence , we start with unbalanced reaction.

$C(gr) +H_{2} (g) +O_{2} (g)$ → $CH_{3} COOH(l)$
