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.

Which of the following statements is true about what happens during a chemical reaction?
tiny-mole [99]

Answer: The correct option is A.

Explanation: In a chemical reaction, reactants react to form a number of products.

For the formation of products, the bonds of the individual reactants must be broken and the bonds of the products must be formed.

For example: Formation of water from hydrogen gas and oxygen gas. Reaction follows:

2H_2(g)+O_2(g)\rightarrow 2H_2O(l)

The Bonds of hydrogen and oxygen molecule are broken and new bonds between hydrogen and oxygen atoms are formed to give water molecule.

Logging trees is often controversial. Why would some people support logging and some people not support logging?
Harlamova29_29 [7]
It seems more and more there are fewer conservation organizations who speak for the forest, and more that speak for the timber industry. Witness several recent commentaries in Oregon papers that are by no means unique. I’ve seen similar themes from other conservation groups across the West in recent years.

Many conservation groups have uncritically adopted views that support more logging of our public lands based upon increasingly disputed ideas about forest health and fire ecology, as well as the age-old bias against natural processes like wildfire and beetles.

For instance, an article in the Portland Oregonian quotes Oregon Wild’s executive director Sean Stevens bemoaning the closure of a timber mill in John Day Oregon. Stevens said: “Loss of the 29-year-old Malheur Lumber Co. mill would be ‘a sad turn of events’” Surprisingly, Oregon Wild is readily supporting federal subsidies to promote more logging on the Malheur National Forest to sustain the mill.

What is the potential energy of a 2 kg plant that is on a windowsill 1.3 m high
gulaghasi [49]

Answer:

P.E = 25.48 J

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass = 2 Kg

Height = 1.3 m

Potential energy = ?

Solution:

Formula:

P.E = m . g . h

P. E = potential energy

m = mass in kilogram

g = acceleration due to gravity

h = height

Now we will put the values in formula.

P.E = m . g . h

P.E = 2 Kg . 9.8 m /s² . 1.3 m

P.E = 25.48 Kg. m² / s²

 Kg. m² / s² = J

P.E = 25.48 J

What are the smallest sub atomic structure
Anton [14]

Answer:

Electrons

Explanation:

In an atom there would be three subatomic particles: Neutrons, electrons, protons. The smallest and lightest in terms of mass is electrons. This is because the nucleus is comprised of the protons and the neutrons, these have a greater mass than electrons as electrons has very little mass that can considered to be 0.
