An acid-base reaction or a neutralization reaction is a <u>chemical reaction that occurs between an acid and a base producing a salt and water</u>. The acids and bases can be strong or weak depending on their degree of ionization in water.
Butyric acid is a weak acid and in water it is ionized in the following way, loosing a proton (H+):
HC4H7O2 (aq) ⇆ H+ (aq) + C4H7O2- (aq)
On the other hand, potassium hydroxide is a strong base, so it will be completely ionized in water:
KOH(aq) → K+(aq) + OH-(aq)
Then the <u>net acid-base reaction</u> between butyric acid and KOH is:
HC4H7O2 (aq) + OH- (aq) ⇆ H2O + C4H7O2- (aq)
It is valid to consider only the OH- produced from the ionization of KOH in water since, as mentioned, this molecule is completely ionized. Also, we do not include the K + in the net equation since it is a spectator ion, it does not undergo chemical changes.
How many cycles happen in a given unit of time is called a wave's frequency.
Hey there!
The sample of NF₃ contains 8.02 moles fluorine atoms.
There are 3 fluorine atoms in each molecule, so there will be 1/3 of the moles of fluorine.
8.02 / 3 = 2.67
There are 2.67 moles of NF₃ in a sample that contains 8.02 moles fluorine atoms.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Explanation:
Gold (111) Chloride:
AuCl₃
The oxidation state of gold is +3.
Chlorine is present in group seventeen and have seven valance electrons . Thus it accept one electron to complete the octet and show oxidation state -1.
When it react with gold(III) three chlorine atoms are combine with one gold atom to make compound overall neutral.
Calcium Carbonate:
CaCO₃
Carbonate formula is CO₃²⁻ . It means it carry -2 charge . Calcium is present in group two. It has two valance electrons and lose them to get complete octet thus shows +2 oxidation state.
When it combine with carbonate the overall compound is neutral because -2 and +2 charges cancel each other.
Hydrobromic Acid
HBr
Hydrogen has one electron while bromine has seven valance electrons. Bromine require one more electron to complete the octet. It react with hydrogen by sharing of one electron of hydrogen and form polar covalent compound.
