Answer: An acid contains more hydrogen ions than hydroxide ions.

Explanation:

An acid is defined as the chemical compound which has a high concentration of hydrogen ions. They are considered as proton donors and they act as proton $(H^+)$ donors when they have high concentration of hydrogen ions.

A base is defined as a chemical substance which has high concentration of hydroxide ions. They are considered as proton acceptors and they act as proton $(H^+)$ acceptors when they have low concentration of hydrogen ions.

Hence, an acid is contains more hydrogen ions than hydroxide ions.

Hydrogen gas, H2, reacts explosively with gaseous chlorine, Cl2, to form hydrogen chloride, HCl(g). What is the enthalpy change

Degger [83]

Answer:

-184.6 KJ/mole

Explanation:

H2(g) + Cl2(g) ------------> 2HCl(aq)

Δ H0 rxn = Δ H0f products - Δ H0f reactants

= 2×-92.3 - (0 + 0)

= -184.6KJ/mole

H2(g) + Cl2(g) ------------> 2HCl(aq) Δ H0rxn = -184.6KJ/mole

In salt, what is the nature of the bond between sodium and chlorine? in salt, what is the nature of the bond between sodium and

kifflom [539]

A chemical bond that involves the transfer of electrons from a metal to a nonmetal and thus forms ions and the atoms in the molecule are attracted towards each other through electrostatic force of attraction are said be ionic bond. In short, the bond formed between the two oppositely charged ions.

In salt, the compound formed between sodium and chlorine is sodium chloride having molecular formula $NaCl$ where sodium is a metal and chlorine is the non-metal. The formation of the compound takes place by transfer of an electron from sodium thus forming a cation of formula $Na^{+}$ to chlorine which gains electron and thus results in an anion formation having formula $Cl^{-}$ . The force of attraction between these oppositely charged ions that helds them together and results in formation of $NaCl$ compound is electrostatic force of attraction.
