Answer:

Net Ionic equation

NH₄⁺ + OH⁻ → NH₃ + H₂O

Option B is correct.

Weak Acid Strong Base

Check Explanation for the extent of the reaction.

Explanation:

Ammonium nitrate = NH₄NO₃

Potassium Hydroxide = KOH

Ammonium salts combine with alkalis to liberate NH₃ and form water.

The two reactants combine to give

NH₄NO₃ + KOH → KNO₃ + NH₃ + H₂O

In ionic form,

- NH₄NO₃ exists as NH₄⁺ and NO₃⁻

- KOH exists as K⁺ and OH⁻

- KNO₃ as K⁺ and NO₃⁻

And NH₃ and H₂O stay as they are, as per covalent compounds.

So, we have

NH₄⁺ + NO₃⁻ + K⁺ + OH⁻ → K⁺ + NO₃⁻ + NH₃ + H₂O

Eliminating the ions that exist on both sides, we have the net ionic equation to be

NH₄⁺ + OH⁻ → NH₃ + H₂O

which shows that this reaction is essentially a neutralization reaction in which the Bronsted Lowry acid, NH₄⁺, loses its proton to the base, OH⁻ and gives conjugate base, NH₃ and conjugate acid, H₂O.

This reaction is classified as a Weak acid versus Strong Base reaction as NH₄⁺ is from a Weak acid and OH⁻ is from a strong base.

Since this reaction is between a Weak base and a strong acid, the ionization isn't expected to be 100%, Hence, the extent of this reaction will be any option that is not 100%, a couple pieces of information might be required for the correct estimate, but above 50% seems correct.

Hope this Helps!!!

A 2.2 M solution is made by with 0.45 moles of a solute. What is the final volume of this solution?
Savatey [412]

Answer: The final volume of this solution is 0.204 L.

Explanation:

Given: Molarity of solution = 2.2 M

Moles of solute = 0.45 mol

Molarity is the number of moles of solute present divided by volume in liters.

Molarity = \frac{no. of moles}{Volume (in L)}

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

Molarity = \frac{no. of moles}{Volume (in L)}\\2.2 M = \frac{0.45}{Volume}\\Volume = 0.204 L

Thus, we can conclude that the final volume of this solution is 0.204 L.

15 grams of sodium reacts with a certain amount of chlorine to yield 37 grams of sodium chloride, as shown below.
ale4655 [162]

Answer: 22g of chlorine would be needed to carry out this synthesis reaction

Explanation:

A synthesis reaction is one in which two or more than two elements combine together to forma single product.

Na+Cl\rightarrow NaCl

The atoms present in the reactants are found on the product side. According to the law of conservation of mass, the number of atoms on both sides of the arrow must be same as the total mass must be conserved.

15 grams of sodium reacts with 22 grams of chlorine to yield 37 grams of sodium chloride. Thus 22g of chlorine would be needed to carry out this synthesis reaction.

Which element would most likely have a positive electron affinity
STatiana [176]

Answer : Electron affinity (Eea) of an atom or molecule can be defined as the amount of energy released or spent when an electron is being added to a neutral atom or molecule in the gaseous state to form a negative ion.


Chlorine is considered to be the element which has highest electron affinity in the modern periodic table.


The general formula is X + e^{-} ----> X^{-} + energy


It is found that nonmetals have more positive Eea than metals.


Electron affinity increases across the group from left to right in the modern periodic table. Elements with small nucleus have high electron affinity.

A vegetable garden is 12 meters long by 7 meters wide. It is home 168 mice. What is the population of the mice.
kotegsom [21]
Hello there!

<span>A vegetable garden is 12 meters long by 7 meters wide. It is home 168 mice. What is the population of the mice. 
</span>
The size of the vegetable garden is just extra information.


The only information we need is: "<span>It is home 168 mice"

This means the population of mice is 168. Meaning, there are 168 mice living there.


I hope I helped!

Let me know if you need anything else!
