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).

Student carries out a titration to determine the concentration of a solution of
Nimfa-mama [501]

The concentration of the Nitric acid solution : 0.114 M

<h3>Further explanation  </h3>

Titration is a procedure for determining the concentration of a solution (analyte) by reacting with another solution whose known concentration (usually a standard solution) is called the titrant. Determination of the endpoint/equivalence point of the reaction can use indicators according to the appropriate pH range  

Titrations can be acid-base titration, depositional titration, and redox titration. An acid-base titration is the principle of neutralization of acids and bases  

Reaction

HNO₃ + NaOH → NaNO₃ + H₂O​

Concentration a standard solution  of sodium hydroxide :  0.0998 mol/dm³ , and the volume = 25 cm³

moles NaOH=

\tt mol=M\times V\\\\mol=0.0998\times 25\\\\mol=2.495~mlmoles

<em>From the equation, mol ratio HNO₃ : NaOH = 1 : 1, so mol HNO₃ = mol NaOH=</em><em>2.495 mlmoles</em>

<em></em>

The volume of HNO₃ = 21.8 cm³, so the concentration :

\tt M=\dfrac{n}{V}\\\\M=\dfrac{2.495}{21.8}\\\\M=0.114

180m/173 Tl -&gt; 180/173 Tl + ? Express your answer as a nuclear equation ​
Law Incorporation [45]

Answer: The nuclear equation is ^{180}_{173}Tl \rightarrow ^{180}_{173}Tl + ^{0}_{0}\gamma.

Explanation:

A nuclear reaction in which a heavy particle splits into another particle along with release of energy is called a nuclear fission reaction.

For example, ^{180}_{173}Tl \rightarrow ^{180}_{173}Tl + ^{0}_{0}\gamma

Here, energy is radiated in the form of gamma radiation.

Thus, we can conclude that the nuclear equation is ^{180}_{173}Tl \rightarrow ^{180}_{173}Tl + ^{0}_{0}\gamma.
