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).

If the azeotropic mixture is 72% perchloric acid by mass, what is the mole percent of water in the azeotrope?
WARRIOR [948]

Answer:

Mole percent of water in azeotrope is 69%

Explanation:

Clearly, the azeotrope consists of water and perchloric acid.

So, 72% perchloric acid by mass means 100 g of azeotrope contains 72 g of perchloric acid and 28 g of water.

Molar mass of water = 18.02 g/mol and molar mass of perchloric acid = 100.46 g/mol

So, 72 g of perchloric acid = \frac{72}{100.46}mol of perchloric acid = 0.72 mol of perchloric acid

Also, 28 g of water = \frac{28}{18.02}mol of water = 1.6 mol of water

Hence total number of mol in azeotrope = (1.6+0.72) mol = 2.32 mol of azeotrope

So, mole percent of water in azeotrope = [(moles of water)/(total no of moles)]\times 100%

Mole percent of water  = \frac{1.6}{2.32}\times 100 % = 69%

In an atom of an element there are a fixed number of electrons. If the total mass of electrons in 1 mole (6.022 x 1023) of atoms
prohojiy [21]

Answer:

No. of protons = 34

Explanation:

First we need to calculate the number of electrons in one mole of the the element:

No. of electrons per mole = Total Mass of Electrons/Mass of 1 Electron

No. of electrons per mole = (18.65 x 10⁻³ g)/(9.109 x 10⁻²⁸ g)

No. of electrons per mole = 2.04 x 10²⁵ electrons/mol

Now, we calculate the no. of electrons in 1 atom:

No. of electrons per atom = No. of Electrons per mole/No. of atoms per mole

No. of electrons per atom = (2.04 x 10²⁵ electrons/mol)/(6.022 x 10²³ atoms/mol)

No. of electrons per atom = 34 electrons/atom

Since, the no. of protons in a pure element are equal to the number of electrons. Therefore,

<u>No. of protons = 34</u>

Describe the appearance of the material. Include its color and state (solid or liquid). Pour ¼ cup of water into a small, clear
Alex777 [14]

<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Here the given material is taken and mixed with water.</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

The amount of material and water taken are same. Hence if it is not soluble in water it should make a dense and flowy paste like material and if it is soluble in water it should this and thicker density of water should remain.

If the amount of water that we are taking is more than the material will float in water if it is not soluble and lighter than water or would sink if it is heavier than water.
