So, water reacts with hydrochloric acid in the following formula

H2O + HCl —-> H3O+ + Cl-

We can visualize that when the two react, the hydrogen ions is taken on by the water molecule. This satisfies one of the definitions for a base

Bronsted acids = anything that donates a proton (H+ ion)

Bronsted bases = anything that accepts a proton (H+ ion)

So, as we can see, that is exactly what is happening. The Cl- and H+ detach and then the water takes on that extra H+.

H3O+ is what we call a hydronium ion

22.4 L of hydrogen is taken in a cylinder at zero degree Celsius and at one atm. This gas is transferred to a cylinder of 11.2 L
geniusboy [140]

Answer:

  2 Atm; 2.016 g

Explanation:

Changing the volume without changing the temperature or mass only changes the pressure. Volume and pressure are inversely proportional so halving the volume will double the pressure.

P = 1 Atm, T = 0 °C are "standard" temperature and pressure (STP). The volume of 1 mole of gas is 22.4 L under these conditions. That means the amount of hydrogen gas in the cylinder is 1 mole, so has a mass of 2.016 g.

After the volume reduction, the pressure is 2 Atm, and the mass remains 2.016 g.

You are a chemist working in your laboratory. In your storage closet you have a cabinet that holds only samples of pure elements
Vladimir79 [104]

Answer:

Mercury

Explanation:

While it is true that most metals are solid at room temperature, mercury is liquid at room temperature hence mercury is often designated as the 'liquid metal'.

Thus, if i find a bottle on the shelf that has no solid in it, only liquid and i know that only pure metals are stored in that area of the laboratory, then i will quickly relabel it as mercury.

Which of the following would increase the strength of an electromagnet? Check all that apply.
TiliK225 [7]

Answer: The correct statements are ; A and B.

Explanation:

The strength of the magnetic field(B) in an electromagnet can be calculated using formula:

B=\mu\frac{N}{L}I

\mu = Relative permeability

N = number of turns

I = Current in the wire of the solenoid

L = length of the solenoid or electromagnetic

As we can see from the formula:

B\propto N

B\propto I

So, by increasing the turns and increasing current flowing through wire one can increase the strength of an electromagnet.

Hence, the correct statements are ; A and B.

Which of these elements have the same number of valance electrons
solmaris [256]
Both carbon and lead belong to Group IV elements, and thus they have the same number of valence electrons. 
<span>In each of the other options, the two elements belong to different groups, and thus they do NOT have the same number of valence electrons.

I hope this helped you, please tell me if I am correct or not <3
