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).

Four flasks are prepared, each containing 100mL of aqueous solutions of equal concentration. Which solution has the lowest freez
Jet001 [13]
The freezing point depression is a colligative property which means that it is proportional to the number of particles dissolved.

The number of particles dissolved depends on the dissociation constant of the solutes, when theyt are ionic substances.

If you have equal concentrations of two solutions on of which is of a ionic compound and the other not, then the ionic soluton will contain more particles (ions) and so its freezing point will decrease more (will be lower at end).   

In this way you can compare the freezing points of solutions of KCl, Ch3OH, Ba(OH)2, and CH3COOH, which have the same concentration.

As I explained the solution that produces more ions will exhibit the greates depression of the freezing point, leading to the lowest freezing point.

In this case, Ba(OH)2 will produce 3 iones, while KCl will produce 2, CH3OH will not dissociate into ions, and CH3COOH will have a low dissociation constant.

Answer: Then, you can predict that Ba(OH)2 solution has the lowest freezing point.

8. Calculate the number of moles of eachsubstance.a. 5.45 x 1026 particles of methane, CH4
Klio2033 [76]

<em>ANSWER</em>

The number of moles of methane is 905.32 moles

STEP-BY-STEP EXPLANATION:

Given information

The number of particles of methane = 5.45 x 10^26 particles

Let x represents the number of moles of methane

To calculate the number of moles, we will be using the below formula

\text{Number of particles = number of moles x Avogadro's constant}

Recall that, the Avogadro's constant is given as

6.02\cdot10^{23}\begin{gathered} 5.45\cdot10^{26}\text{ = x }\cdot\text{ 6.02 }\cdot10^{23} \\ \text{Divide both sides by 6.02 }\cdot10^{23} \\ x\text{ = }\frac{5.45\cdot10^{26}}{6.02\cdot10^{23}} \\ x\text{ = }\frac{5.45}{6.02}\cdot10^{26\text{ - 23}} \\ x\text{ = 0.9053 }\cdot10^3 \\ x\text{ = 905.32 moles} \end{gathered}

Therefore, the number of moles of methane is 905.32 moles

I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is the first option. She concluded that the reaction is an exothermic one because t<span>he reaction released heat. Exothermic is when heat goes out of the system. The opposite is referred to as an endothermic reaction.</span>
