Answer: B. It’s a dilute strong base.


Explanation:


1) Definition of acids and bases: as per Bronsted-Lowry model, an acid is a substance that donates hydrogen ions and a base is a substance that accepts hydrogen ions.

Ca(OH)₂ does not have hydrogen ions to donate, but it can accept hydrogen ions to form H₂O according to this equation: H⁺ + OH⁻ → H₂O.

Hence,  Ca(OH)₂ is a base.


2) Definition of strong base: a strong base is a base that dissociates completely into metallic and hydroxide ions in aqueous solutions, while a weak base dissociates partially.


Hence, Ca(OH)₂ is a strong base.


3) Definition of dilute: it refers to a solution meaning that the substance is not pure and the concentration is low. Since, the solution the Ca(OH)₂ is 0.02 M means that it is dilute.


Therefore, we have found that the description of 0.02 M Ca(OH)₂ is that is is a dilute strong base (option B).

The spectator ions would be the ions that <em>don't </em>comprise the precipitate in this reaction. You have four ionic species here: Pb²⁺, NO₃⁻, H⁺, and SO₄²⁻. Since Pb²⁺ and SO₄²⁻ combine, as you are told, to form the precipitate, that leaves H⁺ and NO₃⁻ (or, in normal text, H+ and NO3-) to be the spectator ions.

Edit: NO3- might be interpreted ambiguously since it's not immediately clear that the NO3 is a polyatomic ion with a -1 charge and not an NO compound with a 3- charge, so it should be written as [NO3]- or (NO3)-.

The net ionic reaction shows the reaction without the spectator ions. In this case, that would be: Pb²⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq) → PbSO₄(s).

How would increased chlorofluorocarbons (CFCs) in the atmosphere affect the growth of vegetation throughout the world?
IgorC [24]
Chlorofluorocarbons are a class of organic compounds that were used as propellants in the late 20th century. The problem with CFC's is that they attack the ozone layer, breaking it down. The weakened ozone layer is not able to stop UV light from reaching the earth, so the amount of UV light reaching the earth increases. This results in increased temperatures, and the death of vegetation.

Therefore, the answer is B.
