At the beginning of this lesson, there was a question about two acids. Vinegar, which contains acetic acid, is used in foods and

has few safety concerns. Hydrochloric acid is used in chemistry labs and requires the use of safety goggles and gloves. Why do the safety concerns for these two acids differ?

Acetic acid is a weak acid and an organic compound and as such is not corrosive and therefore is acceptable to be used in food in the form of vinegar whereas hydrochloric acid is a strong mineral acid (partially derived from rock salt) and it is corrosive and from the author's experience it can be used in dilute form ie 10% by volume to react with limestone as a diagnostic test for that rock type (the limestone fizzes upon reaction with the dilute HCL.

Answer:

Acetic acid is a weak acid, and hydrochloric acid is a strong acid.

As a weak acid, acetic acid does not dissociate much. As a strong acid, hydrochloric acid dissociates completely.

The stronger the acid, the more hydrogen ions will be in a solution at a given concentration.

Because they donate hydrogen ions, acids can react with other materials that accept hydrogen ions. A stronger acid will be more reactive than a weak acid at the same concentration.

Thermochemical equations are chemical equations that include the __________ of the reaction.
irga5000 [103]

A Thermochemical Equation is a balanced stoichiometric chemical equation that includes the enthalpy change, ΔH. In variable form, a thermochemical equation would look like this:

A + B → CΔH = (±) #

Where {A, B, C} are the usual agents of a chemical equation with coefficients and “(±) #” is a positive or negative numerical value, usually with units of kJ.

Would you classify hydrogen as a metal or a non-metal? <br>Explain why.​
Igoryamba

Answer:

HYDROGEN IS A NON METAL.

HYDROGEN IS A GAS ELEMENT

Hydrogen is nonmetallic, except at extremely high pressures, and readily forms a single covalent bond with most nonmetallic elements, forming compounds such as water and nearly all organic compounds.

Which of the following steps correctly converts 3 moles of fluorine to an equivalent number of particles of fluorine? Divide Avo
Eva8 [605]

Answer:

Multiply 3 by Avogadro's number.

Explanation:

The mole can be defined as the amount of a substance that contains Avogadro’s number of particles, 6.02 x 10²³.

For elementary particles:

Number of particles=

number of moles x 6.02 x10²³

From the question,

Number of moles = 3moles

Number of particles = 3 x 6.02 x10²³
