<span>The better the RSM dissolves in the solvent, the higher the Rf (retention factor) will be, and the further the RSM will move. If the RSM is a polar compound, increasing the polarity of the solvent will increase the Rf of the RSM. If the RSM isn't a polar compound, an increasingly polar solvent will decrease the Rf.</span>

Potassium hydroxide is classified as an arrhenius base because koh contains
mixas84 [53]

Answer: hydroxide ions

Explanation:

According to the Arrhenius concept, an acid is a substance that ionizes in the water to give hydronium ion or hydrogen ion  and a bases is a substance that ionizes in the water to give hydroxide ion .

According to the Bronsted Lowry conjugate acid-base theory, an acid is defined as a substance which donates protons and a base is defined as a substance which accepts protons.

According to the Lewis concept, an acid is defined as a substance that accepts electron pairs and base is defined as a substance which donates electron pairs.

As KOH can give hydroxide ions on dissociation , it is considered as arrhenius base.

KOH\rightarrow K^++OH^-

Identify two acids and two bases that you use or come into contact with in an average week. Identify uses for each substance.
skelet666 [1.2K]

Explanation:

Two acids we come into contact with in an average week

  1. Vinegar is an 10% solution of acetic acid (CH_3COOH)in water. Used in salad dressing and while cooking food. It has a sour taste.
  2. Citric acid present in fruits and vegetables like : lemons, orange, tomatoes etc. It is a weak organic acid with sour taste.

Two bases we come into contact with in an average week.  

  1. Baking soda (NaHCO_3) is used in baking food like: cakes, cookies, breads. Baking soda is one of the ingredient while baking breads and cakes.
  2. Caustic soda (NaOH) is used for preparation of detergents, papers , soaps etc. We use soaps and detergents for washing.
