Answer:

RbOH

Explanation:

For this question, we have to remember what is the definition of a base. A base is a compound that has the <u>ability to produce hydroxyl ions</u> $OH^-$ , so:

$AOH~->~A^+~+~OH^-$

With this in mind we can write the <u>reaction for each substance:</u>

$HCOOH~->~HCOO^-~+~H^+$

$RbOH~->~Rb^+~+~OH^-$

$H_2CO_3~->~CO_3^-^2~+~2H^+$

$NaNO_3~->~Na^+~+~NO_3^-$

The only compound that fits with the definition is $RbOH$ , so this is our <u>base</u>.

I hope it helps!

using the soubility curve what is the solubilityof nh4cl in 10 mL of water at a temperature of 60 degrees Celsius

lukranit [14]

Answer:

Please, see attached two figures:

The first figure shows the solutility curves for several soluts in water, which is needed to answer the question.

The second figure shows the reading of the solutiblity of NH₄Cl at a temperature of 60°C.

Answer: <u>5.5g</u>

Explanation:

The red arrow on the second attachement shows how you must go vertically from the temperature of 60ºC on the horizontal axis, up to intersecting curve for the <em>solubility</em> of <em>NH₄Cl.</em>

From there, you must move horizontally to the left (green arrow) to reach the vertical axis and read the solubility: the reading is about in the middle of the marks for 50 and 60 grams of solute per 100 grams of water: that is 55 grams of grams of solute per 100 grams of water.

Assuming density 1.0 g/mol for water, 10 mL of water is:

$10mL\times 1.0g/mL=10g$

Thus, the solutibily is:

$10gWater\times 55gNH_4Cl/100gWater=5.5gNH_4Cl$

Silicon has 14 protons Potassium has 19 electrons The neutrons are equal to the mass number minus the atomic number. Or the big number minus the small number on the periodic table. hydrogen 1 does not have a neutron.

iron =56 -26 for 30 neutrons in the nucleus

Chlorine 17 protons and 17 electrons. 18 or 19 neutrons on average.

Look at the following enthalpy diagram. Select all that apply.

Drupady [299]

Answer:

Option 2 and 4 are correct

Explanation:

The reactants in the attached image have more enthalpy and hence less stability as they are more reactive. Thus, Product is more stable than the reactants.

This is an addition reaction in which two reactants add up to form the product.

Very less activation energy is required as the reactants themselves are unstable, possess high energy and hence are very reactive.

Reactants have more energy than the products.

Ensure you write the states of the reactants and products.

<h3>Answer:</h3>

Phosphoric acid reacts with magnesium hydroxide to produce magnesium phosphate and water via the following reaction:

2H3PO4 + 3Mg(OH)2 → Mg3(PO4)2 + 6H2O

(solid) (solid) (solid) (liquid)

<h3>Explaination:</h3>

This is a typical neutralization reaction of an acid with a base to form a salt and water. The reaction is exothermic, gives off heat,

ΔH < 0 , and may be balanced by adding balancing numbers in front, ie adding molecules, in order to ensure that the total number of atoms of each element is the same on the left and right hand sides of the equation.

Doing so we obtain :

2H3PO4 + 3Mg(OH)2 → Mg3(PO4)2 + 6H2O

(solid) (solid) (solid) (liquid)
