Write a chemical equation for NH4+(aq) showing how it is an acid or a base according to the Arrhenius definition. Express your a

Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

NH4+(aq) → NH3(aq) + H+(aq)

Explanation:

Following arrhenius, an acid can be defined as:

An Arrhenius acid is a substance that, when added to water, increases the concentration of H+ ions in water.

NH4+(aq) → NH3(aq) + H+(aq)

The ammonium ion acts as a weak acid in aqueous solution, dissociating into ammonia and a hydrogen ion.

An Arrhenius base is a substance that, when added to water, increases the concentration of OH- ions in water.

NH4+(aq) will not dissciate in OH- ions. So it's not a base, but an acid.

Calculate the molarity (M) if 3.35g of H3PO4 is dissolved in water to give a total volume of 200mL

lyudmila [28]

Answer:

0.171 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Mass of H₃PO₄ (solute): 3.35 g

Volume of solution (V): 200 mL

Step 2: Calculate the moles of solute

The molar mass of H₃PO₄ is 97.99 g/mol.

3.35 g × 1 mol/97.99 g = 0.0342 mol

Step 3: Convert "V" to liters

We will use the conversion factor 1 L = 1000 mL.

200 mL × 1 L/1000 mL = 0.200 L

Step 4: Calculate the molarity of the solution

We will use the definition of molarity.

M = moles of solute / liters of solution

M = 0.0342 mol/0.200 L = 0.171 M

Nitric oxide, NO, is made from the oxidation of NH3, and the reaction is represented by the equation: 4NH3 + 5O2 → 4NO + 6H2O Wh

tamaranim1 [39]

Answer:

16.16g of O2.

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated below:

4NH3 + 5O2 → 4NO + 6H2O

Next, we shall determine the mass of NH3 and O2 that reacted from the balanced equation. This is illustrated below:

Molar mass of NH3 = 14 + (3x1) = 17g/mol

Mass of NH3 from the balanced equation = 4 x 17 = 68g

Molar Mass of O2 = 16x2 = 32g/mol

Mass of O2 from the balanced equation = 5 x 32 = 160g.

From the balanced equation above,

68g of NH3 reacted with 160g of O2.

Now, we can calculate the mass of O2 that will be required to react completely with 6.87 g of NH3. This is illustrated below:

From the balanced equation above,

68g of NH3 reacted with 160g of O2

Therefore, 6.87g of NH3 will react with = (6.87 x 160)/68 = 16.16g of O2.

Therefore, 16.16g of O2 is needed for the reaction.

Excess intake of antibiotics is harmful because too much can change bacteria so much that antibiotics don't work against them. So technically your teaching good bacteria to be bad.
