<u>Answer:</u> Ammonia is considered as a base.

<u>Explanation:</u>

pH is defined as the negative logarithm of hydrogen or hydronium ion concentration that are present in a solution.

The equation representing pH of the solution follows:

pH=-\log[H^+]

pH range of the solution varies from 0 to 14.

There are 3 types of solution: acidic, basic and neutral

  • If the pH of the solution is from 0 to 6.9, the solution is said to be acidic.
  • If the pH of the solution is from 7.1 to 14, the solution is said to be basic.
  • If the pH of the solution is 7, the solution is said to be neutral.

We are given:

Ammonia has a pH above 7. So, this compound is a basic compound.

Hence, ammonia is considered as a base.

In the experiment, you added water to the reaction vessel after the reaction was complete, but we did not discuss why. Based on
chubhunter [2.5K]

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

Water was added to the reaction after the completion of the reaction so as to lower the solubility if the product in the solution therefore, the product can be precipitated out. On adding water the reaction moves in forward direction and more product is formed. (By Le Chatelier's principle). Thus, the precipitation occurs. Hence, option A is correct.

When parallel light rays exit a concave lens,the light ray is?
ad-work [718]
When parallel rays exit a concave lens, the light rays are divergent.
The rays diverge or bend away from the axis it has been traveling upon entering the lens when it reaches the other side of the lens. These rays appear to have come from the same focal point before entering the concave lens. When these parallel rays are extended, it will be traced back to a single point of origin.
