Which of the following is not a base

1 answer:

3 0

The answer is H₃C₆H₅O₇ (OPTION D).

In essence, the question is asking which of the options is an acid or a neutral compound; thus not a base. A base is a compound that accepts free hydrogen ions while in aqueous solution and as such they usually lack hydrogen ions that can be released in solution. If you ionize all the compounds/molecules above, the only on that has free hydrogen ions is OPTION D (which is an organic acid and not a base).

Is an apple a pure substance or a mixture?

guajiro [1.7K]

An apple would be a mixture. While a mixture is a combination of elements and substances, a pure substance acts as an element itself, therefore, having the properties of only THAT certain element.

Write the balanced NET IONIC equation for the reaction that occurs when ammonium nitrate and potassium hydroxide are combined. N

vova2212 [387]

Answer:

Net Ionic equation

NH₄⁺ + OH⁻ → NH₃ + H₂O

Option B is correct.

Weak Acid Strong Base

Check Explanation for the extent of the reaction.

Explanation:

Ammonium nitrate = NH₄NO₃

Potassium Hydroxide = KOH

Ammonium salts combine with alkalis to liberate NH₃ and form water.

The two reactants combine to give

NH₄NO₃ + KOH → KNO₃ + NH₃ + H₂O

In ionic form,

- NH₄NO₃ exists as NH₄⁺ and NO₃⁻

- KOH exists as K⁺ and OH⁻

- KNO₃ as K⁺ and NO₃⁻

And NH₃ and H₂O stay as they are, as per covalent compounds.

So, we have

NH₄⁺ + NO₃⁻ + K⁺ + OH⁻ → K⁺ + NO₃⁻ + NH₃ + H₂O

Eliminating the ions that exist on both sides, we have the net ionic equation to be

NH₄⁺ + OH⁻ → NH₃ + H₂O

which shows that this reaction is essentially a neutralization reaction in which the Bronsted Lowry acid, NH₄⁺, loses its proton to the base, OH⁻ and gives conjugate base, NH₃ and conjugate acid, H₂O.

This reaction is classified as a Weak acid versus Strong Base reaction as NH₄⁺ is from a Weak acid and OH⁻ is from a strong base.

Since this reaction is between a Weak base and a strong acid, the ionization isn't expected to be 100%, Hence, the extent of this reaction will be any option that is not 100%, a couple pieces of information might be required for the correct estimate, but above 50% seems correct.

Hope this Helps!!!

An electrolytic cell is set up to plate Zr(s) from a solution containing Zr4 (aq). A current of 7.92 amps is run through this so

iren [92.7K]

The mass of Zr deposited in the process is 41.4 g.

<h3>What is electrolytic cell?</h3>

An electrolytic cell is a chemical cell which produces electrical energy by non-spontaneous chemical processes.

From the question;

Zr^4+(aq) + 4e ------> Zr(s)

We know that;

91 g of Zr is deposited by 4(96500) C

xg of Zr is deposited by (7.92 × 6.16 × 60 × 60) C

xg = 91 g × (7.92 × 6.16 × 60 × 60) C/4(96500) C

x g = 41.4 g

How many moles of sodium carbonate are contained by 57.3g of sodium carbonate

Lady_Fox [76]

Answer:

$\boxed {\boxed {\sf 0.541 \ mol \ Na_2CO_3}}$

Explanation:

We are asked to find how many moles of sodium carbonate are in 57.3 grams of the substance.

Carbonate is CO₃ and has an oxidation number of -2. Sodium is Na and has an oxidation number of +1. There must be 2 moles of sodium so the charge of the sodium balances the charge of the carbonate. The formula is Na₂CO₃.

We will convert grams to moles using the molar mass or the mass of 1 mole of a substance. They are found on the Periodic Table as the atomic masses, but the units are grams per mole instead of atomic mass units. Look up the molar masses of the individual elements.

Na: 22.9897693 g/mol
C: 12.011 g/mol
O: 15.999 g/mol

Remember the formula contains subscripts. There are multiple moles of some elements in 1 mole of the compound. We multiply the element's molar mass by the subscript after it, then add everything together.

Na₂ = 22.9897693 * 2= 45.9795386 g/mol
O₃ = 15.999 * 3= 47.997 g/mol
Na₂CO₃= 45.9795386 + 12.011 + 47.997 =105.9875386 g/mol

We will convert using dimensional analysis. Set up a ratio using the molar mass.

$\frac {105.9875386 \ g \ Na_2CO_3}{1 \ mol \ Na_2CO_3}$

We are converting 57.3 grams to moles, so we multiply by this value.

$57.3 \ g \ Na_2CO_3} *\frac {105.9875386 \ g \ Na_2CO_3}{1 \ mol \ Na_2CO_3}$

Flip the ratio so the units of grams of sodium carbonate cancel.

$57.3 \ g \ Na_2CO_3} *\frac {1 \ mol \ Na_2CO_3}{105.9875386 \ g \ Na_2CO_3}$

$57.3 } *\frac {1 \ mol \ Na_2CO_3}{105.9875386 }$

$\frac {57.3 }{105.9875386 } \ mol \ Na_2CO_3$

$0.5406295944 \ mol \ Na_2CO_3$

The original measurement of moles has 3 significant figures, so our answer must have the same. For the number we found that is the thousandth place. The 6 in the ten-thousandth place to the right tells us to round the 0 up to a 1.

$0.541 \ mol \ Na_2CO_3$

There are approximately <u>0.541 moles of sodium carbonate</u> in 57.3 grams.
