<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.

goldfiish [28.3K]
The balanced chemical reaction:

<span>Cu + 2AgNO3 = Cu(NO3)2 + 2Ag
</span>
We are given the amount of the reactants to be used for the reaction. These values will be the starting point of our calculations.

9.85 g Cu ( 1 mol Cu / 63.55 g Cu ) = 0.15 mol Cu
31.0 g AgNO3 ( 1 mol AgNO3 / 169.87 g AgNO3 ) = 0.18 mol AgNO3

The limiting reactant is AgNO3.

0.18 mol AgNO3 ( 1 mol Cu(NO3)2 / 2 mol AgNO3 ) (187.56 g / 1 mol) =16.88 g Cu(NO3)2

0.15 mol Cu - 0.18 mol AgNO3 ( 1 mol Cu / 2 mol AgNo3) = 0.06 mol Cu excess

<span>0.06 mol Cu ( 63.55 g Cu / 1 mol Cu ) = 3.81 g Cu excess</span>

A Flame test is an example of chemistry property. What evidence can you use to back your statement up?
Lena [83]
The flame test is a qualitative test used in chemistry to help determine the identity or possible identity of a metal or metalloid ion found in an ionic compound. If the compound is placed in the flame of a gas burner, there may be a characteristic color given off that is visible to the naked eye. And for the proof. The flame test provided evidence that specific atoms are present in compounds by the color of the flame. The metal atoms are what is responsible for the colors during the flame test. The color of the flame will be yellow-orange because Sodium (Na) is present in all the compounds that have a yellow-orange flame. Hope this helps! Mark brainly please!

A molecule has sp2 hybridization with 1 lone pair.... The electron pair geometry of this molecule is: ... The geometry of this m
MrRa [10]

Answer:

The electron pair geometry is Trigonal planar

Molecular geometry - Bent

Approximate bond angle - <120°

Explanation:

The valence shell electron pair repulsion theory enables us to predict the shapes of molecules based on the number of electron pairs present on the valence shell of the central atom and based on the hybridization state of the central atom.

sp2 hybridization corresponds to trigonal planar geometry. Let us recall that the presence of lone pairs causes a deviation of the molecular geometry from the expected geometry based on the number of electron pairs.

Hence, owing to one lone pair present, the observed molecular geometry is bent.

1. Which graph shows the melting of crystalline solids? Explain your reasoning.
madreJ [45]
(1) The melting of a crystalline solid is best depicted by the second graph. This is because, the second graph shows a horizontal line which means that for a while there was no change in temperature. This zone is the latent heat of fusion. 

(2) The first graph shows the graph of a solid that is just heated but does not experience phase change. However, the second graph shows a solid that changes phase (from crystal/solid to liquid).
