Which of the compounds h2c2o4, ca(oh2, koh, and hi, behave as bases when they are dissolved in water?

2 answers:

6 0

H2C2O4, also written as (COOH)2, is Ethandioic acid, and, as evident by the name, is an acid, and not a base
Ca(OH)2 and KOH, Calcium Hydroxide and Potassium Hydroxide, respectively, are bases when dissolved in water, as they are able to release OH- ions.
Hydrogen Iodide, HI, when dissolved in water, is a strong acid. So, that is also not a base.

Answer: The correct answer is $Ca(OH)_2\text{ and }KOH$

Explanation:

Acids are defined as the chemical species that produces hydrogen ions on dissolving in water.

Bases are defined as the chemical species that produces hydroxide ions on dissolving in water.

We are given:

Chemical compounds having chemical formulas $CH_3COOH,Ca(OH)_2,KOH\text{ and }HI$

$CH_3COOH$ is an organic acid and it produces $CH_3COO^-\text{ and }H^+$ ions

$Ca(OH)_2$ is a base and it produces $Ca^{2+}\text{ and }OH^-$ ions

$KOH$ is a base and it produces $K^{+}\text{ and }OH^-$ ions

HI is an acid because it produces $H^+\text{ and }I^-$ ions

Hence, the correct answer is $Ca(OH)_2\text{ and }KOH$

What mass of oxygen is needed for the complete combustion of 4.60×10−3g of methane?

sp2606 [1]

First step in answering the question is to establish a balanced chemical reaction equation. More specifically, a combustion chemical equation.

CH4 + 2O2 ---> CO2 + 2H20

Then using dimension analysis:

$4.60*10^{-3} g CH4 ( \frac{moleCH4}{16 g CH4}) * ( \frac{2mole O2}{mole CH4}) * ( \frac{32 g O2}{mole O2} ) = 0.0184 g O_{2}$

What are the key characteristics of a synthesis reaction

Crazy boy [7]

Answer is: There are more reactants and one product of the reaction. The reactants may be elements or compounds. The product is always a compound.

Synthesis reaction is a type of reaction in which multiple reactants combine to form a single product.

For example, balanced chemical reaction: Ba + F₂ → BaF₂.

In barium fluoride, barium has oxidation number +2 and fluorine has oxidation number -1, so compound has neutral charge.

Second chemical reaction: CaO(s) + H₂O(l) → Ca(OH)₂(aq).

One molecule is produced from two molecules.

What is the limiting reactant in a chemical reaction?

IgorC [24]

Answer:

D.) the reactants that runs out first

Explanation:

Limiting reactant is the reactant which is present in the smallest amount and thus limit the yield of product.

In any chemical reaction limiting reactant is identified by steps:

First we will calculate the number of moles of given amount of reactants.

Then we will find the number of moles of product by comparing with moles of reactant through balanced chemical equation.

Then we will identified the reactant which produced smaller amount of product.

It can be better understand by following problem.

Given data:

Mass of calcium carbonate = 25 g

Mass of hydrochloric acid = 13.0 g

Mass of calcium chloride produced = ?

Which is limiting reactant= ?

Chemical equation:

CaCO₃ + 2HCl → CaCl₂ + H₂O + CO₂

Number of moles of CaCO₃:

Number of moles of CaCO₃ = Mass /molar mass

Number of moles of CaCO₃= 25.0 g / 100.1 g/mol

Number of moles of CaCO₃ = 0.25 mol

Number of moles of HCl:

Number of moles of HCl = Mass /molar mass

Number of moles of HCl = 13.0 g / 36.5 g/mol

Number of moles of HCl = 0.36 mol

Now we will compare the moles of CaCl₂ with HCl and CaCO₃ .

CaCO₃ : CaCl₂

1 : 1

0.25 : 0.25

HCl : CaCl₂

2 : 1

0.36 : 1/2 × 0.36 = 0.18 mol

The number of moles of CaCl₂ produced by HCl are less it will be limiting reactant.

Mass of calcium chloride:

Mass of CaCl₂ = moles × molar mass

Mass of CaCl₂ =0.18 mol × 110.98 g/mol

Mass of CaCl₂ = 20 g
