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 ability to produce hydroxyl ions $OH^-$ , so:

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

With this in mind we can write the reaction for each substance:

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

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

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

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

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

I hope it helps!

Which of the following statements is true?

Lera25 [3.4K]

The statement which is true is

metals lose electrons to become cations

Explanation

metals tends to loss electrons to attain noble gas electrons configuration.
When metal loses electrons they form a positive charged ions.
The positively charged ion is known as cations.
for example sodium metal (Na) loses 1 electron to form a cation with a charge of positive 1 ( Na^+)

Does the temperature of the solvent (water) affect the rate of dissolving?

gregori [183]

Yes. Heating up the solvent gives the molecules more kinetic energy. The more rapid motion means that the solvent molecules collide with the solute with greater frequency and the collisions occur with more force. Both factors increase the rate at which the solute dissolves.

(1)List three things you know about an atom? (2) What is matter created of?

kicyunya [14]

Answer:

Atoms consist of three basic particles: protons, electrons, and neutrons. The nucleus (center) of the atom contains the protons (positively charged) and the neutrons (no charge). The outermost regions of the atom are called electron shells and contain the electrons (negatively charged).

To what volume in millimeters must 50.0 mL of 18.0 M H2SO4 be diluted to obtain 4.35 M H2SO4?

poizon [28]

We know that to relate solutions of with the factors of molarity and volume, we can use the equation: $M_{1} V_{1} = M_{2} V_{2}$

**NOTE: The volume as indicated in this question is defined in L, not mL, so that conversion must be made. However it is 1000 mL = 1 L.

So now we can assign values to these variables. Let us say that the 18 M $H_{2} SO_{4}$ is the left side of the equation. Then we have:

$(18 M)(0.050 L)=(4.35M) V_{2}$

We can then solve for $V_{2}$ :

$V_{2}= \frac{(18M)(0.05L)}{4.35M}$ and $V_{2} =0.21 L$ or $210 mL$

We now know that the total amount of volume of the 4.35 M solution will be 210 mL. This is assuming that the entirety of the 50 mL of 18 M is used and the rest (160 mL) of water is then added.
