Why is it important that acids and bases have certain naming rules? Why shouldn't we just call them whatever we want?​

Chemistry

Explanation:

This naming can help identify a solution as acid or base (and some of its properties) even before conducting tests. It also allows scientists across the world to collaborate through using a standard naming system.

Naming of the acids and bases is significant in identifying the type and properties of the acid or base. Acids, for example, are named based on the anion attached to the H+ ion in the chemical structure. For example, HCl is called hydrochloric acid because the H+ is bound to a Chloride ion. The suffix for acid is;  –ic, -ate & -ous.

Bases, on the other hand, are named based on the cation attached to the hydroxide eg, CaOH is named calcium hydroxide. The suffix for bases is -ide.

Answer:

<em>It is important to have certain naming rules for both acids or bases so we can distinguish them from one another. </em>

Explanation:

These scientific names are used all over the world. Without these rules, one would not be able to tell the difference between an acid or base. These names not only explain the nature of these substances as well as their reactive properties.  

<u>The name of an acid is classified on the basis of its anions while a base is named using the ionic system. </u>

The examples  of common bases are <em>potassium hydroxide, sodium hydroxide </em>etc while common acids are <em>sulfuric acid, citric acid</em> etc.

According the the arrhenius theory, which species does an acid produce in an aqueous solution?
4vir4ik [10]
Note: Above question is incomplete: Complete question is read as 
<span>According the the arrhenius theory, which species does an acid produce in an aqueous solution?
</span>A) hydrogen ions B) hydroxyl ions C) Sodium ions D) Chloride ion
.....................................................................................................................
Correct answer for above question is A) Hydrogen ions

Reason:
According the Arrhenius theory of acid and base, acid generates hydrogen ions in aqueous medium, while bases generates hydroxyl ions in aqueous medium.  
Example of Acid:
HCl(aq)          →          H+(aq)    + Cl-(aq)

Example of Base:
NaOH(aq)           →          Na+(aq)       +     OH-(aq)

What is the volume in liters of 321 g of liquid with a density of 0.84 g/mL
Rasek [7]
Density is weight by volume.   

First.  If you divide the weight by density you can find the volume

Second you must convert the ML in to Liters.

\frac{321 \frac{g}{1}}{0.84 \frac{g}{mL}} = \frac{321(g)(mL)}{0.84g}=\frac{321mL}{0.84}=382.14mL

1L=1000ml

\frac{1L}{1000mL}

(382.14mL)( \frac{1L}{1000mL})= \frac{(382.14mL)(L)}{1000mL} =\frac{382.14L}{1000}=0.38214L

0.38214 Liters.

Anthracite coal d) is the most abundant grade of coal e) is very soft and burns at high temperatures a) causes the most air poll
forsale [732]

Answer: The correct option is C ( is very hard and burns cleanly).

Explanation:

COAL is a form of rock that is made up of mostly carbon amongst other elements which includes sulphur, nitrogen, hydrogen and oxygen. There are different types of coal which include:

--> anthracite ( 90% carbon)

--> bituminous coal ( 70-90% carbon)

--> lignite ( 60- 70% carbon) and

--> peat (60 % carbon).

Anthracite is the type of coal that contains the highest carbon content ( 90% carbon). This makes it very hard and is often a times referred to as HARD COAL. Anthracite is a higher quality coal for domestic and open fire heating. This is because it contains less impurities than other type of coal and thereby making it to BURN CLEANLY avoiding atmospheric pollution.
