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).

Calcium carbide, CaC2, reacts with water to form calcium hydroxide and the flammable gas ethyne (acetylene) in the reaction: Wha
AysviL [449]

Answer:

1 mole of CaC₂ will produce 26g of C₂H₂ or 64.1g of CaC₂ will produce 26g of C₂H₂

Explanation:

Hello,

To solve this question, we'll require a balanced chemical equation of reaction between calcium carbide and water.

Equation of reaction

CaC₂ + 2H₂O → Ca(OH)₂ + C₂H₂

Molar mass of calcium carbide (CaC₂) = 64.1g/mol

Molar mass of water (H₂O) = 18g/mol

Molar mass of calcium hydroxide (Ca(OH)₂) = 74g/mol

Molar mass of ethyne (C₂H₂) = 26g/mol

From the equation of reaction, 1 mole of CaC₂ will produce 1 mole of C₂H₂

1 mole of CaC₂ = mass / molar mass

Mass = 1 × 64.1

Mass = 64.1g

1 mole of C₂H₂ = mass / molar mass

Mass = 1 × 26

Mass = 26g

Therefore, 1 mole of CaC₂ will produce 26g of C₂H₂

Note: this is a hypothetical calculation since we were not given the initial mass of CaC₂ that starts the reaction

Which of these would produce a soft sound A (a slow vibration) B (a big vibration) C (a fast vibration) or D (a tiny vibration)
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

A slow vibration

Explanation:

Hard and soft refer to how much a sound vibrates. When a sound is hard the vocal cords come together and release producing a less resonant sound. In a soft sound, the vocal cords rub together creating friction and heat that results in a more resonant sound.
