Answer:

See figure 1

Explanation:

If we want to find the acid and the Brønsted-Lowry base, we must remember the definition for each of these molecules:

-) Acid: hydrogen donor

-) Base: hydrogen acceptor

In the <u>caffeine structure,</u> we have several atoms of nitrogen. These nitrogen atoms have the ability to <u>accept</u> hydronium ions (H^+). Therefore the caffeine molecule will be the base since it can accept

If caffeine is the base, the water must be the acid. So, the water in this reaction donated a hydronium ion.

<u>Thus, caffeine is the base and water the acid. (See figure 1)</u>

Fe(s) + O2 (g) → Fe3+ O2− What most likely happens during this reaction?
Musya8 [376]

Answer : The most likely happens during this reaction is, Oxidation-reduction

Explanation :

The balanced reaction will be,

4Fe(s)+3O_2(g)\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3(s)

In this reaction, neutral iron loses 3 electrons and oxidizes in (+3) state, Fe^{3+} and neutral oxygen gains 2 electrons and reduces in (-2) state,O^{2-}

When iron react with oxygen gas to give iron oxide. This process is known as iron rusting. During the reaction, oxidation-reduction process occurs.

Oxidation : It is a type of chemical reaction in which a substance loses its electrons. Or we can say that in oxidation, the oxidation number increases.

Reduction : It is a type of chemical reaction in which a substance gains its electrons. Or we can say that in reduction, the oxidation number decreases.

What is the unit for volume?
kondaur [170]

The answer is volume because The base units of length and volume are linked in the metric system. By definition, a liter is equal to the volume of a cube exactly 10 cm tall, 10 cm long, and 10 cm wide. Because the volume of this cube is 1000 cubic centimeters and a liter contains 1000 milliliters, 1 milliliter is equivalent to 1 cubic centimeter.

Hope this helps :)
