What is Alkaline and acid​

Chemistry
1 answer:
Lunna [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Alkaline is a substance that is over the pH of 7. an acid is a substance that is lower than the pH of 7

When universal indicator is put into an alkaline substance it will turn blue/purple/black. If it is an acid the substance will turn red/orange/yellow

The same will happen if litmus paper is used instaed. If the paper turns blue/purple/black it means that the substance is an alkaline. If the paper turns red/orange/yellow it means that the substance is an acid

If the substance or the litmus paper turns green it means that it is neutral (It has the pH of 7)

The question is incomplete, this is the complete question;

In the process of attempting to characterize a substance, a chemist makes the following observations. Which are physical properties and which are chemical properties?

(a) The substance is a silvery white, lustrous metal.

(b) The substance melts at 649 ∘C

(c) The substance boils at 1105 ∘C.

(d) The density of the substance at 20 ∘C is 1.738 g/cm³.

(e) The substance burns in air, producing an intense white light.

(f) The substance reacts with chlorine to give a brittle white solid.

(g) The substance can be pounded into thin sheets or drawn into wires.

(h) The substance is a good conductor of electricity.

Answer:

(a) Physical

(b) Physical

(c) Physical

(d) Physical

(e) Chemical

(f) Chemical

(g) Physical

(h) Physical

Explanation:

(a) The substance is a silvery white, lustrous metal - is appearance which is physical.

(b) The substance melts at 649 ∘C metling point is a physical measurement

(c) The substance boils at 1105 ∘C boiling point is a physical measurement

(d) The density of the substance at 20 ∘C is 1.738 g/cm3 how heavy a substance is,is physical.

(e) The substance burns in air, producing an intense white light. Burning is a chemical change. It is a reaction of a substance with oxygen

(f) The substance reacts with chlorine to give a brittle white solid. This is a chemical reaction as the question says.

(g) The substance can be pounded into thin sheets or drawn into wires. Ductility is a physical change, the substance remains chemically unchanged

(h) The substance is a good conductor of electricity. Any conductivity is physical, the substance remains chemically unchanged

What assumptions do we make in order to use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation? a. Both the weak acid and its conjugate base are
zepelin [54]

Answer:

The final and initial concentration of the acid and it's conjugate base are approximately equal, that is we use the weak acid approximation.

Explanation:

The Henderson-Hasselbalch is used to calculate the pH of a buffer solution. It depends on the weak acid approximation.

Since the weak acid ionizes only to a small extent, then we can say that [HA] ≈ [HA]i

Where [HA] = final concentration of the acid and [HA]i = initial concentration of the acid.

It also follows that [A^-] ≈ [A^-]i where [A^-] and[A^-]i refer to final and initial concentrations of the conjugate base hence the answer above.

The specific heat of a substance is the heat that must be absorbed to increase the temperature of 1 gram of a substance by 1 deg
Vlad1618 [11]

Answer:

True.

Explanation:

Specific heat is the amount of heat required to raise one gram of a particular substance by one degree Celsius or Kelvin.

Formula for calculating specific heat is the amount of heat absorbed or released = mass x specific heat x change in temperature.

= m * Cp * delta T
