Describe an acid or base in terms of its relationship to protons

1 answer:

4 0

Acids are donors of protons (H+) and bases are acceptors of protons.
For example:
1) hydrochloric acid (HCl) in reaction with water give one proton to water and become chloride anion (Cl-).
2) ammonia (NH3) Is base, in reaction with water accepts one protone and become ammonium cation (NH4+).

A 250. ML sample of 0.3M HCl is partially neutralized by the addition of 100. ML of 0.25M NaOH.Find the concentration of hydroch

GuDViN [60]

Answer:- 0.143 M

Solution:- HCl and NaOH reacts in 1:1 mol ratio as shown in the below reaction:

$HCl(aq)+NaOH(aq)\rightleftharpoons NaCl(aq)+H_2O(l)$

Let's calculate the initial moles of HCl and the moles of NaOH added to it:

$250.mL(\frac{1L}{1000mL})(\frac{0.3molHCl}{1L})$

= 0.075 mol HCl

$100.mL(\frac{1L}{1000mL})(\frac{0.25molNaOH}{1L})$

= 0.025 mol NaOH

Since they react in 1:1 mol ratio, 0.025 mol of NaOH will react with 0.025 moles of HCl.

Remaining moles of HCl = 0.075 - 0.025 = 0.050

Total volume of the solution = 0.250 L + 0.100 L = 0.350 L

So, the concentration of HCl in the resulting solution = $\frac{0.050mol}{0.350L}$

= 0.143 M

Hence, the concentration of HCl acid in the resulting solution is 0.143 M.

How does flame spread over liquid depend on the flash point?

zvonat [6]

If the liquid is at or above its flash point, the flame spread rate is fast, and the entire pool is engulfed within seconds. ... As the liquid temperature decreases, flame radiation must both heat the liquid to the flash point temperature and supply the heat of vaporization.
