Answer:

b) Baking soda

Explanation:

Baking soda is sodium hydrogen carbonate, NaHCO₃.

It reacts with water according to the equation

NaHCO₃ + H₂O ⇌ H₂CO₃ + NaOH

Thus, baking soda is a base because it increases the concentration of hydroxide ions in water.

Water is neutral.

Lemon juice is an acid because it contains citric acid.

An insulator is a substance that does not conduct electricity. Insulators are neither acidic nor basic.

What volume does 4.24g of argon gas occupy at 58.2 degrees celcuis and 1528torr

lilavasa [31]

Answer:

V = 1.434 L

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of argon = 4.24 g

Temperature = 58.2 °C

Pressure = 1528 torr

Volume = ?

Solution:

58.2 °C = 58.2 + 273 = 331.2 K

1528/760= 2.01 atm

Number of moles:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 4.24 g / 39.948 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.106 mol

Volume:

PV = nRT

V = nRT/P

V = 0.106 mol ×0.0821. atm. L. mol⁻¹. K⁻¹ × 331.2K/ 2.01 atm

V = 2.88 atm L/ 2.01 atm

V = 1.434 L

You can obtain a rough estimate of the size of a molecule with the following simple experiment: Let a droplet of oil spread out

mina [271]

Answer:

The diameter of the oil molecule is $4.4674\times 10^{-8} cm$ .

Explanation:

Mass of the oil drop = $m=9.00\times 10^{-7} kg$

Density of the oil drop = $d=918 kg/m^3$

Volume of the oil drop: v

$d=\frac{m}{v}$

$v=\frac{m}{d}=\frac{9.00\times 10^{-7} kg}{918 kg/m^3}$

Thickness of the oil drop is 1 molecule thick.So, let the thickness of the drop or diameter of the molecule be x.

Radius of the oil drop on the water surface,r = 41.8 cm = 0.418 m

1 cm = 0.01 m

Surface of the sphere is given as: a = $4\pi r^2$

$a=4\times 3.14\times (0.418 m)^2=2.1945 m^2$

Volume of the oil drop = v = Area × thickness

$\frac{9.00\times 10^{-7} kg}{918 kg/m^3}=2.1945 m^2\times x$

$x= 4.4674\times 10^{-10} m= 4.4674\times 10^{-8} cm$

The thickness of the oil drop is $4.4674\times 10^{-8} cm$ and so is the diameter of the molecule.

The alkali metals all react with water. which is the most reactive metal?

kifflom [539]

Alkali Metals (Group 1) elements experience an increase in the vigour of their reaction in water as they go down the group (as the atomic number increase). As such the most reactive Alkali Metal would be FRANCIUM, which is at the base of Group One.

Quite frankly, you do not want Francium to react with water- that's a huge explosion on your hand.
