NaHCO3 is a product of a strong base and a weak acid reaction. Thus it has weak basic properties.
HCO3- ion is actually amphoteric, which means it can act as a base or an acid. But it is weaker than a strong acid or a strong base.
<span>HCO3- is amphoteric meaning it acts both as a B.L. Acid and a B.L. Base.. which is why it's used to neutralize both acid and base spills in the lab.</span>
Answer:
Explanation:
a) In an exothermic reaction, the energy transferred to the surroundings from forming new bonds is ___more____ than the energy needed to break existing bonds.
b) In an endothermic reaction, the energy transferred to the surroundings from forming new bonds is ___less____ than the energy needed to break existing bonds.
c) The energy change of an exothermic reaction has a _____negative_______ sign.
d) The energy change of an endothermic reaction has a ____positive________ sign.
The energy changes occur during the bonds formation and bonds breaking.
There are two types of reaction endothermic and exothermic reaction.
Endothermic reactions:
The type of reactions in which energy is absorbed are called endothermic reactions.
In this type of reaction energy needed to break the bond are higher than the energy released during bond formation.
For example:
C + H₂O → CO + H₂
ΔH = +131 kj/mol
it can be written as,
C + H₂O + 131 kj/mol → CO + H₂
Exothermic reaction:
The type of reactions in which energy is released are called exothermic reactions.
In this type of reaction energy needed to break the bonds are less than the energy released during the bond formation.
For example:
Chemical equation:
C + O₂ → CO₂
ΔH = -393 Kj/mol
it can be written as,
C + O₂ → CO₂ + 393 Kj/mol
Answer:
Explanation:
Sucrose Is Made up of Glucose and Fructose
Glucose is a simple sugar or monosaccharide.
Fructose, or “fruit sugar,” is a monosaccharide like glucose
The one with higher mass has a higher density because it fits more mass into the same amount of space (volume).
Sodium Hydroxide (NaOH) is also known as lye which is a base (very high ph; Alkaline)
Now, in chemistry, equilibrium is what affects the reaction rate of a reaction. If they are in equilibrium, the concentrations of them will not change (both reactants and products).
Now, lets say that to synthesize a certain chemical, we need it to be in an acidic environment with HCL or some other acid as the catalyst for the reaction.
Well, if we were to add Sodium Hydroxide to this which is very alkaline, the ph would change greatly which affects the reaction rate. If we do not have enough energy to overcome the activation barrier, the reaction will not occur (atleast for a very long time).
However, a common mistake is thinking that a catalyst will affect the equilibrium. This is not true. The reaction will still take place but it will have a very slow reaction rate.
TLDR; Adding a catalyst (like NaOH or Sodium Hydroxide) will not change the equilibrium but instead change the reaction rate. The reaction can still occur, although it can take a very, very long time (like diamonds turning into graphite)
