Bitter taste (opposed to sour taste of acids)

Slimy, or soapy feel on fingers.

Many bases react with acids and precipitate salts.

Strong bases may react violently with acids. ...

Bases turn red litmus paper blue.

Base's physical characteristics:
1) Bitter in taste
2) Soapy feeling (in shampoo or body wash)
3) pH>7

Base's chemical characteristics:
1) BASW ( Base reacts with Acid to form Salt and Water)
2) Ability to turn moist red litmus paper blue due to its basic properties. (pH>7)
3) IMPORTANTLY is that it dissociate Into OH- ions or hydroxide ion when dissolved in water! (For alkali)

Alkali is SOLUBLE salt. Most bases are insoluble.

7. What is the mass of a piece of copper (Cu) that undergoes a 25.0 °C
Olegator [25]

Answer:

0.0428 kg or 42.8 g

Explanation:

Applying,

Q = cmΔt.............. Equation 1

Where Q = heat lost of heat gained, c = specific heat capacity of copper, m = mass of copper, Δt = temperature change.

make m the subject of the equation above

m = Q/cΔt.................. Equation 2

From the question,

Given: Q = 428 J, Δt = 25 °C

Constant: c = 400 J/kg.°C

Substitute these values into equation 2

m = 428/(25×400)

m = 0.0428 kg

m = 42.8 g

Does 1 gram of phosphorus react with 6 grams of iodine to form 4 grams of phosphorus triodine in P4(s)+6I2(s)=4PI3(s)
mafiozo [28]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

One mole of P₄ react with six moles of I₂ and gives 4 moles of PI₃.

When one gram phosphorus and 6 gram of  iodine react they gives 8.234 g ram of PI₃ .

Given data:

Mass of phosphorus = 1 g

Mass of iodine = 6 g

Mass of  PI₃ = ?

Solution:

Chemical equation:

P₄ + 6I₂    →  4PI₃

Number of moles of P₄:

Number of moles = Mass /molar mass

Number of mole = 1 g / 123.9 g/mol

Number of moles  = 0.01 mol

Number of moles of I₂:

Number of moles  = Mass /molar mass

Number of moles = 6 g / 253.8 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.024 mol

Now we will compare the moles of PI₃ with I₂ and P₄.

                I₂              :              PI₃

                  6              :               4

                 0.024       :             4/6×0.024 = 0.02

                  P₄            :               PI₃

                 1                :                4

                 0.01          :               4 × 0.01 = 0.04  mol

The number of moles of PI₃ produced by I₂ are less it will be limiting reactant.

Mass of PI₃ = moles × molar mass

Mass of PI₃ = 0.02 mol × 411.7 g/mol

Mass of PI₃ =  8.234 g

What is the relationship between the concentration of particles in a solution and the solution’s vapor pressure? As solute conce
kap26 [50]

Answer:

As solute concentration increases, vapor pressure decreases.  

Step-by-step explanation:

As solute concentration increases, the number of solute particles at the surface of the solution increases, so the number of <em>solvent </em>particles at the surface <em>decreases</em>.

Since there are fewer solvent particles available to evaporate from the surface, the vapour pressure decreases.

C. and D. are <em>wrong</em>. The vapour pressure depends <em>only</em> on the number of particles. It does not depend on the nature of the particles.
