What is an ""acid""? What is a ""base""?

Chemistry
1 answer:
pantera1 [17]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

There are two definitions for acid and base in chemistry.

Explanation:

There are different definitions of Acid and Base:

The <em>Arrhenius</em> definition sais that <u>acid</u> is every substance that increases the concentration of protons in water. Thus, a <u>base</u> is a substance that increase the concentration of oxydriles in water.

On the other hand, the <em>Bronsted</em> definition sais that an <u>acid</u> is a substance with the ability to give protons and a <u>base</u> is a substance with the ability to accept protons.

In the formation of carbon dioxide (CO2) from carbon monoxide (CO) and oxygen (O2), how many moles of carbon monoxide are needed
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

14 moles of CO are needed in the reaction, to react with 7 moles of O₂

Explanation:

We need to determine the reaction to start:

O₂ (g) + 2CO (g) → 2CO₂ (g)

Now, we state the ratio of reactants:

1 mol of oxygen needs 2 moles of CO, to react and they both, produce 2 moles of CO₂. Therefore the ratio is 1:2

We can make a rule of three to reach the answer:

1 mol of O₂ needs 2 moles of CO to react

Therefore, 7 moles of O₂ must need (7 .2) /1 = 14 moles

Two isotopes of hydrogen fuse to form a neutron plus the larger element,A) beryllium.B) carbon.C) deuterium.D) helium.
Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:  D) helium.

Explanation:

Nuclear fission is a process which involves the conversion of a heavier nuclei into two or more small and stable nuclei along with the release of energy.

_{92}^{235}\textrm{U}+_0^1\textrm{n}\rightarrow _{56}^{143}Ba+_{36}^{90}Kr+3_0^1\textrm{n}

Nuclear fusion is a process which involves the conversion of two small nuclei to form a heavy nuclei along with release of energy.

Example: _1^2\textrm{H}+_1^3\textrm{H}\rightarrow _2^4\textrm{He}+_0^1\textrm{n}+\text{energy}

Thus when deuterium and tritium , the two isotopes of hydrogen are fused, a heavier nuclei helium is being formed from two smaller nuclei releasing a neutron.

What is the density of a cylinder with a mass of 65.34g, a height of 15.60 cm and a radius of 1.34 cm?
jonny [76]

Answer:

d = 0.743 g/cm³

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of cylinder = 65.34 g

Height = 15.60 cm

Radius = 1.34 cm

Density of cylinder = ?

Solution:

Volume of cylinder:

V = πr²h   (π = 22/7)

V = 88 cm³

Density of cylinder:

d  = m/v

d = 65.34 g / 88 cm³

d = 0.743 g/cm³

The density of ethanol is 0.789 g/mL. If you need 460.0 g of ethanol for an experiment, how many milliliters would you measure o
4vir4ik [10]

Answer:

The volume is 583.02 mL

Explanation:

Given that the density is:-

\rho=0.789\ g/mL

The mass, m=460.0\ g

The expression for the calculation of density is shown below as:-

\rho=\frac{m}{V}

Using the above expression to calculate the volume as:-

V=\frac{m}{\rho}

Applying the values to calculate the volume as:-

V=\frac{460.0\ g}{0.789\ g/mL}=583.02\ mL

<u>The volume is 583.02 mL.</u>

14. How many grams of NaCl are contained in 0.350 kg of a
Lyrx [107]

Answer:

4.87g

Explanation:

Step 1:

Data obtained from the question. This includes the following:

Mass of solution = 0.35kg

Molality = 0.238 m

Mass of NaCl =..?

Step 2:

Determination of the number of mole of NaCl in the solution.

Molality of a solution is simply defined as the mole of solute per unit kg of the solvent. It is given as:

Molality = mol of solute /mass of solvent (kg)

With the above formula, we calculate the mole of NaCl present in the solution as follow:

Molality = mol of solute /mass of solvent (kg)

0.238 = mol of NaCl /0.35

Cross multiply

mol of NaCl = 0.238 x 0.35

mol of NaCl = 0.0833 mol

Step 3:

Determination of the mass of NaCl in 0.0833 mol of NaCl.

This is illustrated below:

Number of mole NaCl = 0.0833 mol

Molar Mass of NaCl = 23 + 35.5 = 58.5g/mol

Mass of NaCl =..?

Mass = number of mole x molar Mass

Mass of NaCl = 0.0833 x 58.5

Mass of NaCl = 4.87g

Therefore, 4.87g of NaCl is contained in the solution.
