Sulfuric acid (h2so4) is spilled on a laboratory bench. which chemical would be useful for neutralizing the acid

1 answer:

8 0

Sulphuric acid (H2SO2) is a dibasic acid. It generated H+ ions when dissolved in water. In order to neutralize an acid, a base containing hydroxy ion (OH-) will be required.

NaOH, Ca(OH)2, KOH, etc. can be used to neutralize H2SO4.

If NaOH is used as a base, following reaction is initiated.

2NaOH + H2SO4 → Na2SO4 + H2O
(base) (acid) (salt)

How many moles would be equal to 22.4 g of CO2?

Rzqust [24]

Answer:

Number of moles = 0.51 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of CO₂ = 22.4 g

Number of moles = ?

Solution:

Number of moles of CO₂:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Molar mass of CO₂ = 44 g/mol

by putting values,

Number of moles = 22.4 g/ 44 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.51 mol

Na+ and Cl- __________ ___________________________ Na+ and PO4 3- __________ ___________________________ Na+ and SO4 2- ________

bagirrra123 [75]

Answer:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

The cations and anions being oppositely charged attract each other through strong coloumbic forces and form an ionic bond.

(1) Sodium is carrying +1 charge called as $Na^{+1}$ cation and chloride $Cl^{-1}$ is an anion carrying -1 charge. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral $NaCl$ .

How many valence electrons should be used to draw a Lewis structure of methane CH4

olganol [36]

Answer:

8 valence electrons

Explanation:

There are 4 valence electrons in carbon because it is in group 4A of the periodic table. There is 1 valence electron per hydrogen based on its position on the periodic table, but CH4 has 4 hydrogens in it. So 1 times 4 is 4. Add the 4 valence electrons from carbon with the 4 electrons from H4 to get 8.

Lucia is playing with magnetic toy vehicles. She has two identical toy vehicles (purple and pink) that start on opposite sides o

pentagon [3]

Answer:

The potential energy of both toy vehicles (purple and pink) decreased. Since the pink toy was moved closer to the magnet, it will have less potential energy because of the short distance it will take to travel to the magnet. Although the purple toy is now closer to the magnet, it is still pretty far and will have a somewhat big potential energy when traveling to the magnet.

Explanation:

Hey, I'm in middle school and I had the same question for a science test, I'm not sure if I am correct but this is what I have.
