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

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.

Why would it be more difficult to inject the nucleus of uranium with a proton?
nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

Because there are already 92 protons in the

uranium nucleus, combining their repulsive power to reject the one new one. However, if the energy of the incoming proton is sufficiently great, then at extremely close distance, the uranium nucleus will attract the proton and draw it into the nucleus. This is called the strong force.

An object has a gravitational potential energy that is 800 Joules. Its
olya-2409 [2.1K]

Answer:

36.28 kg

Explanation:

Given data:

Gravitational potential energy of object = 800 J

Height from ground = 2.245 m

Mass of object = ?

Solution:

Formula:

P.E = mgh

g =acceleration due to gravity =  9.8 m/s²

by putting values,

800 J = m× 9.8 m/s² ×2.25 m

J = kgm²/s²

800 kgm²/s² = m× 22.05 m²/s²

m = 800 kgm²/s² /22.05 m²/s²

m = 36.28 kg
