lilavasa [31]3 years ago
6 0

Answer: Option B) Base

Explanation:

According to Bronsted-Lowry theory, an acid is a substance that donates a proton and produces a conjugate base while a base is a molecule or ion which accepts the proton and produces a conjugate acid.

Thus, water H2O acts as a example of Bronsted-Lowry base while hydrochloric acid, HCl acts as an acid respectively as shown in the reaction below

HCl(aq) + H2O(aq) -> H3O+(aq) + Cl-(aq)

H2O acts as an base by accepting a proton donated by HCl, thus producing hydroxonium ion, H3O+ as a conjugate acid.

Thus, in the given reaction, H2O acts as a base

A water solution is found to have a molar oh- concentration of 3.2 x 10-5. the solution would be classified as :_______.
Anuta_ua [19.1K]

A water solution is found to have a molar oh- concentration of 3.2 x 10-5. the solution would be classified as neutral.

The concentration of hydroxide ions (OH-) is measured by pOH. It is a way of expressing how alkaline a solution is. At 25 degrees Celsius, aqueous solutions with pOH values of 7 or less are neutral, whereas those with pOH values of 7 or more are acidic. The hydrogen ion potential is known as pH. The potential of hydroxide ions is known as pOH. 2. It is a scale used to estimate the hydrogen ion (H+) concentration in the solution. The hydroxide ion (OH-) concentration of the solution is measured using this scale.

pH + pOH = 14

 pOH = 3.2x 10-5

[OH-] = 10^(-pOH) =10^(- 3.2x 10-5)

= 0.99

How many moles are in 50 g of CO2
murzikaleks [220]

Answer:

1.1 mol

Explanation:

n=m/M, where n is moles, m is mass, and M is molar mass.

M of CO2 = 12.01+16.00+16.00 = 44.01g/mol

n=50g/44.01g/mol

n = 1.13610543 mol

n ≈ 1.1 mol

Hope that helps

How to balance the chemical equation: <br> CO2+H2O--&gt;C6H12O6
Andru [333]

Answer:

6H₂O + 6CO₂ + energy  →   C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

Explanation:

The given reaction represent the formation of glucose so it is photosynthesis reaction.

Photosynthesis:

It is the process in which in the presence of sun light and chlorophyll by using carbon dioxide and water plants produce the oxygen and glucose.

Carbon dioxide + water + energy →   glucose + oxygen

water is supplied through the roots, carbon dioxide collected through stomata and sun light is capture  by chloroplast.

Chemical equation:

6H₂O + 6CO₂ + energy  →   C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

it is known from balanced chemical equation that 6 moles of carbon dioxide react with the six moles of water and created one mole of glucose and six mole of oxygen.

3Fe+4H2O(yields) Fe3O4+4H2. What is the mole ratio of Fe3O4 to Fe?
WINSTONCH [101]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option A.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Mole ratio is defined as the ratio between the stoichiometric coefficients of the molecules present in the chemical reaction.

For the given balanced chemical equation:

3Fe+4H_2O\rightarrow Fe_3O_4+4H_2

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

3 moles of iron metal reacts with 4 moles of water to produce 1 mole of iron oxide and 4 moles of hydrogen gas.

The mole ratio of Fe_3O_4:Fe=1:3

Hence, the correct answer is Option A.
