Water _____.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Sergio039 [100]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: is neither an acid nor a base

Explanation: Water is a universal solvent which means it can dissolve most of the substances in it.

Water has high thermal heat capacity , which means large heat is required to heat the water.

Water is not always pure as it gets contaminated by various pollutants present in the atmosphere such as gases, bacteria and suspended matter.

Water is an amphoteric substance which can act as both acid and base, thus can donate and acept [texH^+[/tex] ions.Thus it is neither an acid nor a base.

HCl+H_2O\rightarrow H_3O^++Cl^-

Here water is accepting a proton, thus it acts as base.

NH_3+H_2O\rightarrow NH_4^++OH^-

Here water is donating a proton, thus it acts as acid.

PLEASE HELP ME! What are some patterns or trends that are present in the table of elements?
Sati [7]

Some patterns and trend that are present in the periodic table would be

1. electronegativity (from left-to-right it increases across the table)

2. ionization (from left-to right it increases and from bottom-to-top it increases)

3. electron affinity (same as ionization energy)

4. atom radius (increases opposite way; from right-to-left it increases and from top-to-bottom it increases)

5. melting point (higher melting points with metals and lower melting point with non-metals)

6. metallic character (same as atom radius)

The balanced chemical equation for the reaction of copper (Cu) and silver nitrate (AgNO3) is shown below. Cu + 2AgNO3 mc001-1.jp
sergij07 [2.7K]
The balanced reaction is:

<span>Cu + 2AgNO3 = 2Ag + Cu(NO3)2

We are givent the amount of silver to be produced. This will be the starting point. Calculations are as follows:

</span><span> 3.50 mol Ag ( 1 mol Cu / 2 mol Ag ) = 1.75 mol Cu
</span>
Therefore, we need 1.75 mol of copper in order to produce 3.50 mol of silver.

kap26 [50]

Answer:

Correct option: A

Explanation:

Equilibrium means the state of reaction which there is no net changes occur it means the rate of forward reaction and rate of backward reaction become same and also it does not mean that the concentration of both side i.e. reactant and product become equal. after gaining equlibrium position the concentration of reactant and product remain same and also chemical reaction does not stop and it continues.
