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.

Write a balanced chemical equation for the synthesis of ammonia from its elements including the word energy as a product
Katen [24]
Ammonia synthesis can be done by Haber process. N₂ gas and H₂ gas are used as the reactants. <span>The balanced reaction equation is
</span>N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) ⇄ 2NH₃(g) + energy

This is a reversible process and the conditions as follows,
1. Pressure
should be 150 - 200 atm
2. Temperature
is between 450 - 500 °C

Predict the bond angles for each of the following labeled bonds.
boyakko [2]

The bond angles a and b are 120° respectively. The bond angle c is 111.4° .while the bond angle d is 120°. The bond angles e and f are 120° respectively.

In the carbonate ion, all the bond angles and bond lengths are equal hence three equivalent resonance structures can be drawn for the ion. All the bond angles, ( a and b) in carbonate ion all have bond angle of 120°.

The bond angle marked c in OCCl2 has a bond angle 111.4°, the bond angle marked d in the compound has the bond angle, 120°.

There are three bond angles present in the nitrate (NO3-) ion. Three resonance structures contribute to this bond. Based on these structures, the bond angles e and f in the molecule is 120°.
