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

15.Vicinal coupling is:A)coupling between 1H nuclei attached to adjacent C atoms.B)coupling between 1H nuclei in an alkene.C)cou
timurjin [86]

Answer:

A)coupling between 1H nuclei attached to adjacent C atoms.

Explanation:

The word ‘vicinal’ in chemistry means three bonds from the functional groups. The two functional groups are in a relationship with the atoms in adjacent position to them.

The 1H nuclei consists of two Hydrogen nucleus which acts as the functional groups. They are however attached and in a relationship with the adjacent C atoms. This makes option A the right choice.

Which molecule is nonpolar and has a symmetrical shape hcl?
Alchen [17]
HCl is considered as polar molecule and that is incorrect answer, The choices provided are A) HCl , B) CH₄ , C) H₂O, D) NH₃

And the correct answer is : B) CH₄

In case of H₂O and NH₃ the high difference in electronegativity between nitrogen or oxygen and hydrogen make the bonds acquire partial charges and become polar while in case of CH₄ the difference in electronegativity between carbon and hydrogen is only 0.4 so it considered as non-polar bond
also carbon connected from all directions with Hydrogens

Which of the following correctly represents the transmutation in which a curium-242 nucleus is bombarded with an alpha particle
Alekssandra [29.7K]

<u>Answer:</u> The chemical equation is written below.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Transmutation is defined as the process in which one chemical isotope gets converted to another chemical isotope. The number of protons or neutrons in the isotope gets changed.

The chemical equation for the reaction of curium-242 nucleus with alpha particle (helium nucleus) follows:

_{96}^{242}\textrm{Cm}+_4^2\textrm{He}\rightarrow _{98}^{245}\textrm{Cf}+_0^1\textrm{n}

The product formed in the nuclear reaction are californium-245 nucleus and a neutron particle.
