Why the arrhenius model of acids and base does not include ammonia in a solution as a base?

According to A<span>rrhenius model acid and base are defined as,

             Acid:
                    A substance which when dissolved in water produces H</span>⁺ Ions is called as Arrhenius Acid.

Example:
                                 HCl        →       H⁺ ₍aq₎ +  Cl⁻ ₍aq₎

                                 HNO₃     →       H⁺ ₍aq₎  +  NO₃⁻ ₍aq₎

                                 H₂SO₄    →       2 H⁺ ₍aq₎  +  SO₄⁻² ₍aq₎

             Base:
                    A substance which when dissolved in water produces OH⁻ Ions is called as Arrhenius Acid.

Example:
                                 NaOH        →       Na⁺ ₍aq₎ +  OH⁻ ₍aq₎

                                 Mg(OH)₂    →       Mg²⁺ ₍aq₎  +  2 OH⁻ ₍aq₎

                                 Sr(OH)₂     →       Sr²⁺ ₍aq₎  +  2 (OH)₂ ₍aq₎

Ammonia (NH₃) is not arrhenius base because it does dot produce OH⁻ ions in water. Therefore, the basicity of ammonia is explained by Bronsted Lowery concept of acids and bases. And according to Bronsted Lowery concept ammonia is abase because it tends to accept  H⁺ as follow,

                                 NH₃  +  H⁺    →    NH₄⁺

Which isotope has the greatest number of protons?
tino4ka555 [31]

Answer:

The isotope with the greatest number of protons is:

  • <u>option D:  Pu-239, with 94 protons</u>

Explanation:

The number of <em>protons</em> is the atomic number and is a unique number for each type of element.

You can tell the number of protons searching the element in a periodic table and reading its atomic number.

Thus, this is how you tell the number of protons or each isotope

Sample       Chemical symbol  Element       atomic number   # of protons

A Pa-238       Pa                         protactinium         91                        91

B U-240         U                          uranium                 92                       92

C Np-238       Np                        neptunium            93                       93

D Pu-239        Pu                        plutonium              94                       94

AlexFokin [52]

Answer:

It is an example of coupling an exogenic reaction to an endogenic reaction.

Explanation:

The endergonic reaction is typically being pushed by coupling it to strongly exergonic reaction. This is in most cases via shared intermediates. Most chemical reactions are endergonic in nature. In other word, the are not spontaneous (i.e ΔG>0). Energy must also be applied externally to initiate the reactions. The reactions can also be coupled to exergonic reactions (with  ΔG<0) to initiate them through a process known as share intermediate. Because Gibbs Energy can be summed up (i.e is a state function), the combined  ΔG  of the coupled reaction will be thermodynamically favorable.  The decomposition of calcium carbonate is a typical example.
