Ba₃(PO₄)₂ is a compound made of a metal cation and polyatomic ion.
polyatomic ion is when 2 or more atoms are covalently bonded together and together have a charge and can act as one compound that can bond with another atom.
In this case Ba²⁺ is the metal cation and PO₄³⁻ is the polyatomic ion. this is called the phosphate ion. one phosphate atom is bonded to 4 O atoms with an net charge of -3 and acts as a single unit.
This dissociation occur because:
O had to bond with H due to the Hydrogen bonding rule, which will form OH~ (Hydroxide).
K is more attracted to Hydroxide than Cl, so it will depart Cl and bond with OH~.
that leaves a H and a Cl, which one has a positive charge and the other has a negative, so they will bond and form Hydrochloric Acid.
The answer would be color. The temperature affects the brightness and the shade of the star.
They define acids as proton donors, and bases as proton acceptors
If you were to have:
HNO3 + H2O -> H3O+. + NO3-
You can see that the nitric acid (HNO3) gave a hydrogen ion which has 1 proton, 0 neutrons and 0 electrons to the water so we just say that it gave a proton.
Now let's see a base
NH3 + H2O -> NH4+ + OH-
Now, you can see that the ammonia (NH3) gained a hydrogen ion (proton) from the water to become ammonium(NH4). which means it accepted a proton
That's basically it. Feel free to ask if you have any further questions
:o really? thank you so much!
