<span>Answer: Potassium hydroxide, KOH, is considered a BASE in an acid-base reaction because it ACCEPTS a hydrogen ion from the other reactant.

According to </span><span>Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory, Base is a specie which accepts proton (H</span>⁺) while, Acid is a specie which donate proton.

Bases may contain a negative charge or lone pair of electrons, while, Acids contain positive charge or a neutral atom with incomplete octet.

In given statement KOH is acting as a base because it contains a negatively charged hydroxyl group which can accept proton from a acid, i.e. 

                                    KOH    →     K⁺  +  OH⁻

Reaction of OH⁻ with any acid,

                         K⁺    +   OH⁻  +   HCl      →       H₂O   +   KCl

How is a molecule of hydrogen formed from two hydrogen atoms?
Shtirlitz [24]
A molecule of hydrogen is formed by two hydrogen atoms, that is a fact.

How does it work? When two atoms, known as "diatomic" pair with another in a bond known non-polar covalent bonds. Where they equally share electrons. A Hydrogen atoms needs 1 more electrons to fill its first shell fully and have a full valence shell. So if two H's share their electrons, they'll both have a full V-Shell!

That's the basics of both the H-H bond and all the other diatomic bonds as well.

The combined gas law sets up a relationship between which of the following?
aleksklad [387]
The combined gas law combines the three gas laws: Boyle's Law, Charles'Law, and Gay-Lussac's Law. It states that the ratio of the product of pressure and volume and the absolute temperature of a gas is equal to a constant. When Avogadro's law is added to the combined gas law, the ideal gas law res

Answer is volume and pressure only

#12 please! worth 40 points
Serga [27]
Okay so because of the difference in density a simple method for telling the difference between the two is to put a sample in a container with oil, because water has a higher density than the oil it would sink to the bottom but alcohol on the other hand is lighter than oil and would float on top of the oil.

However with this question I think that what you would do is use the ice to find out what the substance is, it would float on top of the liquid if it were water because the water is denser than ice but the ice would sink if it was alcohol because the alcohol is less dense than ice. 


I hope this helps you, good luck : )

_____ is a measure of the average kinetic energy of a gas. Density Enthalpy Pressure Temperature
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer:

Temperature

Explanation:

  • Temperature is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles in a sample of a gas.
  • Kinetic energy is the energy possessed by an object because of its motion. As an object absorbs heat the particles move faster so the average kinetic energy and therefore the temperature increases.
  • When the temperature of a body or an object is increased and hence the heat, there is more movement or vibration of particles which translates to more kinetic energy.
