Are all acids dangerous? Give at least two examples to show what you mean.

Chemistry
1 answer:
juin [17]3 years ago
4 0

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.

hope that helps!

The alkanes are a homologous series of compounds containing only carbon and hydrogen that have the general formula <img src="htt
AnnZ [28]

Answer:

Heptane > hexane> 3,3-dimethylpentane > butane

Explanation:

All things being equal, it is expected that the boiling point of the members of the alkane homologous series increase as we move down the group.

Hence for example, butane is expected to have a higher boiling point than ethane. Another important factor we would be considering in this answer is the presence of a branched alkane amongst the answers in the question. A straight-chain alkane will have a boiling point which is higher than that of a branched-chain alkane due to the greater surface area in contact, thus the greater van der Waals forces, between adjacent molecules

Now if we are to rank the compounds on the basis of boiling point, the answer is as follows:

Heptane > hexane > 3,3-dimethylpentane> butane

Fresh milk has a ph of 6 how do you think the ph will change as it turns into curd explain your answer.
PIT_PIT [208]

The pH of milk lowers as it turns into curd due to the formation of lactic acid.

Fresh milk is considered to be slightly acidic, having a pH lower than 7. Milk is converted into curd, the thickened or solid part of milk after the milk sours, through the process of fermentation. The lactic acid bacteria, such as Lactobacillus, converts lactose or the sugar present in milk into lactic acid, causing the milk to taste sour. The increase in the concentration of lactic acid results in the increase of hydronium ions which lowers the pH of the milk.

Which shows the formula for an Organic acid
tresset_1 [31]
Answer:
            The formula of Organic acid is as follow,

                                                 R-COOH

Explanation:
                   The class of organic acids is called Carboxylic Acids. In above general structure, R is alkyl group and can vary. While -COOH is the functional group. 
                    Carboxylic Acids has the tendency to loose protons and their pKa value depends upon the alkyl group. For example the pKa value of Acetic acid (R = -CH₃) is 4.7. The driving force for this acidity is the stability of carboxylate (conjugate base) due resonance. i.e

                               RCOOH     ⇄    RCOO⁻  +  H⁺
Where;
            RCOO⁻  =  Carboxylate Ion (Conjugate base)

How does molecular attraction affect the amount of energy needed to create a phase change. Think about low, medium, and high
Art [367]

Answer:

When considering phase changes, the closer molecules are to one another, the stronger the intermolecular forces. Good! For any given substance, intermolecular forces will be greatest in the solid state and weakest in the gas state.

In the case of melting, added energy is used to break the bonds between the molecules. ... If heat is coming into a substance during a phase change, then this energy is used to break the bonds between the molecules of the substance. The example we will use here is ice melting into water.

A gas occupies a volume at 34.2 mL at a temperature of 15.0 C and a pressure of 800.0 torr. What will be the volume of this gas
Grace [21]
The answer is 34.1 mL.
Solution:
Assuming ideal behavior of gases, we can use the universal gas law equation
     P1V1/T1 = P2V2/T2
The terms with subscripts of one represent the given initial values while for terms with subscripts of two represent the standard states which is the final condition.
At STP, P2 is 760.0torr and T2 is 0°C or 273.15K. Substituting the values to the ideal gas expression, we can now calculate for the volume V2 of the gas at STP:
     (800.0torr * 34.2mL) / 288.15K = (760.0torr * V2) / 273.15K
     V2 = (800.0torr * 34.2mL * 273.15K) / (288.15K * 760.0torr)
     V2 = 34.1 mL
