Answer:

Explanation:

According to Arrhenius Acid-Base Theory, acids are those substances that dissolved in water divide generating H⁺ together with an anion (ion with negative charge). In an aqueous solution, H⁺ protons immediately react with water molecules to form H₃O⁺ hydronium ions. A base, on the contrary, according to this theory, is a substance that liberates OH⁻ ions in aqueous solution.

This theory is valid only in aqueous medium.

You know: NH₃(g) + H₂O(l) → NH₄⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

In this case, the water dissociates with the formation of hydrogen ions, H⁺, which NH₃ accepts to form the NH₄⁺ ion. So the water acts as an acid.

On the other hand, in reaction:

NH₄⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) → NH₃(g) + H₂O(l)

NH₄⁺ dissociates with the formation of hydrogen ions, H⁺, which water accepts to form the H₃O⁺ ion. So NH₄⁺ acts as an acid.

For reaction: NH₃(g<span>) + </span>H₂O(l<span>) → </span>NH₄⁺(aq<span>) + </span>OH⁻(aq), water (H₂O) is donor of proton (H⁺) and ammonia (NH₃) is acceptor of proton (base).
For reaction: NH₄⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq) → NH₃(g) + H₂O(l) , NH₄⁺ is acid (donor of proton (H⁺)) and hydroxy anion (OH⁻) is base (acceptor of proton).
According to  Bronsted-Lowry theory acid are donor of protons and bases are acceptors of protons (the hydrogen cation or H⁺<span>).</span>

Compare rutherford's expected outcome of the gold-foil experiment with the actual outcome.
iragen [17]
Rutherford was one of the early scientists who worked on the atomic model. Before his discovery of the nucleus, the widely accepted theory was J.J Thomson's Plum Pudding Model. In this model, all the protons, electrons and neutrons are in the nucleus. But the electrons are more in number such that the electrons act as the 'pudding' and the proton and nucleus the 'plum'. This was Rutherford's hypothesis in his gold foil experiment. In order to test the Plum Pudding model, he hypothesized that when a beam of light is aimed at the atom, it would not diffract because the charges in the nucleus are well-distributed. However, his experiment disproved Thomson's model. Some light indeed passed through but a few was diffracted back to the source. He concluded that this was because there is a dense mass inside the atom called nucleus. Thus, from there on, he proposed the model that the electrons are orbiting around the nucleus.

A train in Japan can travel 813.5 miles in 5 hours
Anastaziya [24]

Answer:

162.7miles/hr

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Distance covered by the train  = 813.5miles

Time taken  = 5hours

Unknown:

Speed of the train  = ?

Solution:

Speed is a physical quantity.

It is mathematically expressed as;

      Speed  = \frac{distance}{time}

So, input parameters and solve;

   Speed  = \frac{813.5}{5}  = 162.7miles/hr

What is the purpose of the periodic table?
Charra [1.4K]

Answer:

the periodic table is important because it is organized to provide a alot of information about elements and how they relate to one another in one easy-to-use reference. The table can be used to predict the properties of elements, even those that have not yet been discovered.
