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^-

Arizona was the site of a 400,000-acre wildfire in June 2002. How much carbon dioxide (CO2) was produced into the atmosphere by
kodGreya [7K]

Answer:

2.97 × 10¹³ g

Explanation:

First, we have to calculate the biomass the is burned. We can establish the following relations:

  • 2.47 acre = 10,000 m²
  • 10 kg of C occupy an area of 1 m²
  • 50% of the biomass is burned

The biomass burned in the site of 400,000 acre is:

400,000acre\times\frac{10,000m^{2} }{2.47acre} \times \frac{10kgC}{m^{2} } \times 50\% = 8.10 \times 10^{9} kgC

Let's consider the combustion of carbon.

C(s) + O₂(g) ⇒ CO₂(g)

We can establish the following relations:

  • The molar mass of C is 12.01 g/mol
  • 1 mole of C produces 1 mole of CO₂
  • The molar mass of CO₂ is 44.01 g/mol

The mass of  produced is CO₂:

8.10 \times 10^{12}gC \times \frac{1molC}{12.01gC} \times \frac{1molCO_{2}}{1molC} \times \frac{44.01gCO_{2}}{1molCO_{2}} =2.97 \times 10^{13} gCO_{2}

Valence electrons are found:
eduard
Valence electrons are found AT THE OUTERMOST SHELL OF AN ATOM.
Valence electron refers to those electrons that are located furthest away from the nucleus of an atom, that is, they are found at the outermost shell. Valence electrons determine the chemical properties of an element and they are the only ones that get involved in chemical reactions with other elements.
