What makes the Arrhenius acid and an Arrhenius base definition incomplete or lacking

Chemistry
1 answer:
Kryger [21]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

See Explanation

Explanation:

The Arrhenius acid-base theory defines an acid as a compound which when added into water increases the hydronium ion (H₃O⁺) concentration and the base as a compound which when added into water increases the hydroxide (OH⁻) ion concentration. As such, an acid-base reaction is limited to proton transfer to only OH⁻ ions forming water. Such would imply that all acid-base reactions produce water only in addition to a salt. This is not always the case as conjugate base anions for many substances can receive proton transfer.

Example: The reaction HOAc + NaCN => HCN + OAc-  will occur in aqueous media because the proton (H⁺) on acetic acid (HOAc) will transfer to the cyanate ion forming hydrocyanic acid (HCN). Such occurs because the CN⁻ ion is a stronger conjugate base than the acetate ion (OAc⁻) and forms the more stable weak acid.  Such is the basis of the Bronsted-Lowry Acid-Base system and states that an acid (proton donor) will transfer its ionizable hydrogen to a conjugate base (proton acceptor) if the transfer forms a weaker acid.

A gas has a volume of 3.25 liters at 54 C and 231 kPa of pressure. At what temperature will the same gas take up 4.35 liters of
Firdavs [7]

Answer: 318 K

Explanation:

Combined gas law is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.

The combined gas equation is,

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas = 231 kPa

P_2 = final pressure of gas = 168 kPa

V_1 = initial volume of gas = 3.25 L

V_2 = final volume of gas = 4.35 L

T_1 = initial temperature of gas = 54^oC=273+54=327K

T_2 = final temperature of gas = ?

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

\frac{231\times 3.25}{327}=\frac{168\times 4.35}{T_2}

T_2=318K

At 318 K of temperature will the same gas take up 4.35 liters of space and have a pressure of 168 kPa

When doing a titration what is the equivalency point of the neutralization reaction?
KengaRu [80]
The equivalency point is at the point of the titration where the amount of titrant added neutralize the solution. When it’s a strong acid strong base titration, the equivalence point will be 7. When it is a weak acid strong base, the equivalence point it more basic (the exact number depends on what acid and base you use). And when it is a strong acid weak base, the equivalence number is more acid (the exact number depends on what acid and base you use). Hope this helps!

Help me with this question?!!​
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

500 mL

Explanation:

Step 1: Find conversions

1 mL = 0.0338 oz

Step 2: Use Dimensional Analysis

16.9 \hspace{2} oz(\frac{1 \hspace{2} mL}{0.0338 \hspace{2} oz} ) = 500 mL

Assume that there is a puddle that contains 12.0 kg of water and it froze outside since it is -1°C. The
Musya8 [376]

The temperature that must be to freeze the solution would be -21.1 ° C.

<h3>How to calculate the freezing temperature of this solution?</h3>

To calculate the freezing temperature we must take into account the following information.

  • Solution with a salt concentration of 10% is frozen at -6°C
  • Solution with a salt concentration of 20% is frozen at -16°C
  • Solution with a higher concentration is frozen at -21.1°C

According to the above, it can be inferred that the puddle has a 50% concentration of salt because they had 12 kg of water and 6 kg of salt.

So the lowest freezing temperature would be 21.1°C because the puddle is 50% concentrated.

Note: This question is incomplete because there is some missing information. Here is the missing information:

  • A 10% salt solution freezes at about 20°F (-6°C), and a 20% solution freezes at 2°F (-16°C).
  • The lowest freezing point obtainable for salt solutions is −21.1 °C

How many moles is in 2.52*10^24 molecules of water?
nataly862011 [7]
Hi friend
--------------
Your answer
-------------------

Water = H2O

Number of molecules in one mole of water = 6.022 × 10²³ [Avogadro's constant]

Given number of molecules = 2.52 × 10²³

So,
------

Number of moles =
\frac{2.52 \times 10 {}^{24} }{6.022 \times 10 {}^{23} }  \\  \\  = 4.184 \: (approximately)
