An acid-base reaction or a neutralization reaction is a <u>chemical reaction that occurs between an acid and a base producing a salt and water</u>. The acids and bases can be strong or weak depending on their degree of ionization in water.
Butyric acid is a weak acid and in water it is ionized in the following way, loosing a proton (H+):
HC4H7O2 (aq) ⇆ H+ (aq) + C4H7O2- (aq)
On the other hand, potassium hydroxide is a strong base, so it will be completely ionized in water:
KOH(aq) → K+(aq) + OH-(aq)
Then the <u>net acid-base reaction</u> between butyric acid and KOH is:
HC4H7O2 (aq) + OH- (aq) ⇆ H2O + C4H7O2- (aq)
It is valid to consider only the OH- produced from the ionization of KOH in water since, as mentioned, this molecule is completely ionized. Also, we do not include the K + in the net equation since it is a spectator ion, it does not undergo chemical changes.
This is a D. combustion reaction
That is because you add O2 which is necessary for a combustion, while the results are CO2 and water. What you are missing is a ---> after the 2O2 (g)
The answer would be 118.68 g.
Explanation for this is:4 moles of NH3 give 4 moles of NO2
so 1mole of NH3 will give 1 mole of NO2
43.9 grams of NH3 contains 2.58 moles
so 2.58 moles will be produced of NO2
which is 118.7 grams this the amount of oxygen that is used.
Answer:
There are 6.022x10^23 molecules
