Answer:

A base is A. a substance that increace the concentration of OH- ions in solution.

Explanation:

According to Arrhenius Theory, a base is any substance that, when dissolved, releases hydroxyl ions (OH–). The bases are also known as alkalis, because when the hydroxyl groups dissociate and release, the pH of the solutions increases, that is, the solution becomes alkaline. Then its pH is greater than 7.

According to the Brønsted-Lowry Theory, a base is a substance capable of accepting protons (H +) in solution.

According to Lewis Theory, the bases are also considered those substances capable of donating or transferring electrons.

So, a base is A. a substance that increace the concentration of OH- ions in solution.

write a balanced chemical equation for each single replacement reaction that takes place in aqueous solution. write no reaction

Illusion [34]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Write a balanced chemical equation for each single replacement reaction that takes place in aqueous solution. write no reaction if a reaction does not occur

1.) Zn + PbCl₂

2.) Cu + Fe(NO₃)₂

Answer:

For 1: The reaction does occur.

For 2: The reaction does not occur.

Explanation:

Single displacement reaction is defined as the reaction in which more reactive element displaces a less reactive element.

The reactivity of metal is determined by a series known as reactivity series. The metals lying above in the series are more reactive than the metals which lie below in the series.

$A+BC\rightarrow AC+B$

For the given options:

For 1:

Zinc is more reactive than lead as it lies above in the series. So, it will displace lead from its chemical equation.

The chemical equation for the reaction of zinc and lead chloride follows:

$Zn+PbCl_2\rightarrow ZnCl_2+Pb$

For 2:

Copper is less reactive than iron as it lies below in the series. So, it will not displace iron from its chemical equation.

The chemical equation for the reaction of copper and iron (II) nitrate follows:

$Cu+Fe(NO_3)_2\rightarrow \text{No reaction}$

When an atom loses an electron, we say that the atoms was ____________________.

arlik [135]

Answer:

However, if something happens to make an atom lose or gain an electron then the atom will no longer be neutral.

Explanation:

A charged atom is called an ion. When an atom loses electron(s) it will lose some of its negative charge and so becomes positively charged. A positive ion is formed where an atom has more protons than electrons.
