Water.
In certain circumstances, water acts as a proton donor.
e.g NH3(aq) + H2O(l) --> NH4+(aq) + OH-(aq)

In other circumstances, water can act as a proton acceptor.
e.g HNO3(aq) + H2O(l) --> H3O+(aq) + NO3-(aq)

Why are the transition metals able to show different properties like varying color and paramagnetism ?

Naya [18.7K]

Answer:

Colors of transition metal compounds are due to two types of electronic transitions. Due to the presence of unpaired d electrons, transition metals can form paramagnetic compounds. Transition metals are conductors of electricity, possess high density and high melting and boiling points.

When 8.0 grams of sodium hydroxide is dissolved in sufficient water to make 400. mL of solution, what is the concentration of th

nata0808 [166]

Answer:

The concentration of this sodiumhydroxide solutions is 0.50 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Mass of sodium hydroxide (NaOh) = 8.0 grams

Molar mass of sodium hydroxide = 40.0 g/mol

Volume water = 400 mL = 0.400 L

Step 2: Calculate moles NaOH

Moles NaOH = mass NaOH / molar mass NaOH

Moles NaOH = 8.0 grams / 40.0 g/mol

Moles NaOh = 0.20 moles

Step 3: Calculate concentration of the solution

Concentration solution = moles NaOH / volume water

Concentration solution = 0.20 moles / 0.400 L

Concentration solution = 0.50 M

The concentration of this sodiumhydroxide solutions is 0.50 M

Aspirin (C9H8O4) may be synthesized by mixing salicylic acid (C7H6O3) with excess acetic anhydride (C4H6O3).

diamong [38]

Answer:

65.18% is the percent yield for this reaction.

Explanation:

$C_7H_6O_3 + C_4H_6O_3\rightarrow C_9H_8O_4 + C_2H_4O_2$

Moles of salicyclic acid = $\frac{2.0 g}{138 g/mol}=0.01449 mol$

According to reaction 1 mole of salicyclic acid gives 1 mole of aspirin .

Then 0.01449 mole of salicylic acid will give :

$\frac{1}{1}\times 0.01449 mol=0.01449 mol$ of asprin

Mass of 0.01449 moles of aspirin :

= 0.01449 mol × 180 g/mol = 2.6082 g

Theoretical yield of aspirin = 2.6082 g

Experimental yield of aspirin = 1.7 g

The percent yield for this reaction:

$\%(Yield)=\frac{\text{Experimental yield}}{\text{Theoretical yield}}\times 100$

$=\frac{1.7 g}{2.6082 g}\times 100=65.18\%$

65.18% is the percent yield for this reaction.
