Which of the following is a property of bases?
B. Feels slippery
This is most likely the Chemical Properties of Bases
The Chemical Properties of Bases include:
- Bases change the colour of litmus from red to blue.
- They are bitter in taste.
- Bases lose their basicity when mixed with acids.
- Bases react with acids to form salt and water. This process is called Neutralisation Reaction(Read).
- They can conduct electricity.
- Bases feel slippery or soapy.
- Some bases are great conductors of electricity.
- Bases like sodium hydroxide, potassium hydroxide, etc are used as electrolytes.
- Alkalis are bases that produce hydroxyl ions (OH-) when mixed with water.
- Strong alkalis are highly corrosive in nature whereas other alkalis are mildly corrosive.
- The pH value of bases ranges from 8-14.
Alkalis and ammonium salts produce ammonia.
- Hydrogen gas is evolved when metals react with a base.
- Bases are classified on the basis of strength, concentration and acidity.
- The different kinds of acids are strong base acid, weak base acid, concentrated base, dilute base, monoacidic base, diacidic base and triacidic base.
Answer:
Explanation:
Vaporization Equation => Q = m·ΔHv
m = 0.5Kg water = 500g water
ΔHv = Heat of vaporization = 540 calories/gram
∴Q = 500g x 540cal/g = 270,000 calories x 4.184 joules/cal = 1,129,680 joules = 1130 Kilojoules (3 sig. figs.)
Answer:
19. Option B. ⁰₋₁B
20. Option D. ²¹⁰₈₄Po
Explanation:
19. ²²⁸₈₈Ra —> ²²⁸₈₉Ac + ʸₓZ
Thus, we can determine ʸₓZ as follow:
228 = 228 + y
Collect like terms
228 – 228 = y
y = 0
88 = 89 + x
Collect like terms
88 – 89 = x
x = –1
Thus,
ʸ ₓZ => ⁰₋₁Z => ⁰₋₁B
²²⁸₈₈Ra —> ²²⁸₈₉Ac + ʸₓZ
²²⁸₈₈Ra —> ²²⁸₈₉Ac + ⁰₋₁B
20. ᵘᵥX —> ²⁰⁶₈₂Pb + ⁴₂He
Thus, we can determine ᵘᵥX as follow:
u = 206 + 4
u = 210
v = 82 + 2
v = 84
Thus,
ᵘᵥX => ²¹⁰₈₄X => ²¹⁰₈₄Po
ᵘᵥX —> ²⁰⁶₈₂Pb + ⁴₂He
²¹⁰₈₄Po —> ²⁰⁶₈₂Pb + ⁴₂He
