A strong acid OR base is one that:

Chemistry
1 answer:
kupik [55]4 years ago
6 0

Answer: completely (100%) dissociates, producing a significant amount of H+ and OH- ions in solution, making it conduct electricity well.

Explanation:

A strong acid is one that ionizes or dissociate completely in water to yield its hydrogen ion (H+) as the only positively charged ion.

For example: Hydrochloric acid (HCl) dissociates completely in water to give hydrogen ion and chlorine ion

HCl(aq) --> H+(aq) + Cl-(aq)

A strong base, on the other hand, dissociates completely in water to yield an hydroxyl ion (OH-) as the only negatively charged ion. A good example is Sodium hydroxide NaOH

NaOH (aq) --> Na+(aq) + OH-(aq)

And since mobile and charged ions help transmit electric current, a strong acid or base produces significant amount of H+ and OH- ions that conduct electricity well.

Solve an equilibrium problem (using an ice table) to calculate the ph of each solution: part a a solution that is 0.195 m in hc2
IrinaK [193]
To determine the pH of a solution which has 0.195 M hc2h3o2 and 0.125 M kc2h3o2, we use the ICE table and the acid dissociation constant of hc2h3o2 <span>to determine the concentration of the hydrogen ion present at equilibrium. We do as follows:

HC2H3OO = H+ + </span>C2H3OO-
KC2H3OO = K+ + C2H3OO-

Therefore, the only source of hydrogen ion would be the acid. We use the ICE table,
                    HC2H3OO           H+        C2H3OO-
I                     0.195                  0              0.125
C                      -x                    +x               +x
------------------------------------------------------------------
E                 0.195-x                x              0.125 + x

Ka = <span>1.8*10^-5 = (0.125 + x) (x) / 0.195 -x 
x = 2.81x10^-5 M = [H+]

pH = - log [H+]
pH = -log 2.81x10^-5
pH = 4.55

Therefore, the pH of the resulting solution would be 4.55.

The equation of the reaction is;

Ca(OH)2(aq) + 2HCl(aq) ------> CaCl2(aq) + 2H2O(l)

<h3>What is neutralization?</h3>

The term neutralization has to do with the process in which an acid reacts with a base to form salt and water only. A neutralization reaction is known by the fact that water is obtained by the reaction of hydrogen and hydroxide ions.

The equation of the reaction is;

Ca(OH)2(aq) + 2HCl(aq) ------> CaCl2(aq) + 2H2O(l)

The HF bond length is 92 pm, 16% shorter than the sum of the covalent radii of H (37 pm) and F (72 pm). Suggest a reason for thi
Elza [17]

Due to electronegativity difference between H and F atom.

<h3>What is the reason for the difference ?</h3>
  • The bond length of HF is 92 pm. It is 16% shorter than the sum of the covalent radii of H (37 pm) and F (72 pm).
  • The shorter of the bond length is due to the difference in electronegativity between H and F atom. The electronegativity of F is 4.0, whereas the electronegativity of H is 2.1.
  • Greater the difference of electronegativity between the bonded atoms, shorter will be the bond length.
  • As  becomes smaller i.e. as we proceed from HF to HI, this effect becomes lessens and bond length will be more predictable.

Thus from the above conclusion we can say the difference in electronegativity between H and F atom this is the reason for shorter bond length of HF.

The overall equation for the cellular respiration of glucose is C6H12O6 + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + energy. C5H12O6 + 6 O2 → 5 CO2
olga55 [171]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: first option.

Explanation:

C6H12O6 + 6 O2 → 6 CO2 + 6 H2O + energy.  This option is correct, 1 molecule of glucose reacts with 6 molecules of oxygen and produces 6 molecules of carbon dioxide, six molecules of water and energy.

C5H12O6 + 6 O2 → 5 CO2 + 6 H2O + energy. This option is incorrect because glucose has 6 carbons not five.

5 CO2 + 6 H2O → C5H12O6 + 6 O2 + energy. This is the reaction of photosynthesis, it is the inverse reaction of cellular respiration.

C6H12O6 + energy → 6 CO2+ 6 H2O + 6 O2. This reaction does not exist.

Identify each of the following half-reactions as either an oxidation half-reaction or a reduction half-reaction. half-reaction i
Natasha2012 [34]

Answer: Oxidation reaction:  Al(s)\rightarrow Al^{3+}(aq)+3e^-

Reduction reaction:  Sn^{2+}(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow Sn(s)

Overall redox reaction : 2Al(s)+3Sn^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow 2Al^{3+}(aq)+3Sn(s)

Explanation:

Oxidation-reduction reaction or redox reaction is defined as the reaction in which oxidation and reduction reactions occur simultaneously.

Oxidation reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance looses its electrons. The oxidation state of the substance increases.

Al(s)\rightarrow Al^{3+}(aq)+3e^-

Reduction reaction is defined as the reaction in which a substance gains electrons. The oxidation state of the substance gets reduced.

Sn^{2+}(aq)+2e^-\rightarrow Sn(s)

Overall redox reaction : 2Al(s)+3Sn^{2+}(aq)\rightarrow 2Al^{3+}(aq)+3Sn(s)
