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>

In water, hydrogen bonds are best described as _____.
Elina [12.6K]

Answer: Option D) covalent bonds between water molecules

In water, hydrogen bonds are best described as covalent bonds between water molecules

Explanation:

The hydrogen bonds between water molecules are covalent bonds because they are formed when oxygen attract the lone electron in hydrogen, thus resulting in the formation of a partially negative charge on the oxygen atom and a partially positive charge on two hydrogen atoms

Thus, the sharing of electrons between oxygen and hydrogen atoms is responsible for the covalent bonds between water molecules

What is the mass of 0.60 moles of Al
KIM [24]

16 g. The mass of 0.60 mol Al is 16 g.

Molar mass of Al = 26.98 g/mol

Mass of Al = 0.60 mol Al x (26.98 g Al/1 mol Al) = 16 g Al

Be sure to answer all parts. find the molar solubility of bacro4 (ksp= 2.1 × 10−10) in (a) pure water × 10 m (b) 1.6 × 10−3 m na
Vlad [161]
A) in pure water :

by using ICE table:

According to the reaction equation:

            BaCrO4(s)    →  Ba^2+(aq)    +   CrO4^2-(aq)

initial                               0                          0

change                          +X                       +X 

Equ                                  X                         X


when Ksp = [Ba^2+][CrO4^2-]

by substitution:

2.1 x 10^-10 = X* X

∴X = √2.1 x 10*-10

∴X = 1.4 x 10^-5

∴ the solubility = X = 1.4 X 10^-5

B) In 1.6 x 10^-3 m Na2CrO4

 by using ICE table:

According to the reaction equation:

            BaCrO4(s)  →  Ba^2+(aq)    +   CrO4^2-(aq)

initial                                 0                      0.0016

Change                           +X                      +X

Equ                                   X                      X+0.0016

when Ksp = [Ba^2+][CrO4^2-]

by substitution:

2.1 x 10^-10 = X*(X+0.0016) by solving for X 

∴ X = 1.3 x 10^-7

∴ solubility =X = 1.3 x 10^-7
