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.

Answer:

74mL

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Molar mass of citric acid = 192g/mol

Molar mass of baking soda = 84g/mol

Concentration of citric acid = 0.8M

Mass of baking powder = 15g

Unknown parameters:

Volume of citric acid = ?

Solution

Equation of the reaction:

C₆H₈O₇ + 3NaHCO₃ → Na₃C₆H₅O₇ + 3H₂O + 3CO₂

Procedure:

We work from the known parameters to the unknown. From the statement of the problem, we can approach the solution from the parameters of the baking powder.
From the baking powder, we can establish a molar relationship between the two reactants. We employ the mole concept in this regard.
We find the number of moles of the baking powder that went into the reaction using the expression below:

Number of moles = $\frac{mass}{molar mass}$

Number of moles = $\frac{15}{84}$ = 0.179mole

From the equation of the reaction, we can find the number of moles of the citric acid:

3 moles of baking powder reacted with 1 mole of citric acid

0.179 moles of baking powder would react with $\frac{0.179}{3}$ :

This yields 0.059mole of citric acid

To find the volume of the citric acid, we use the mole expression below:

Volume of citric acid = $\frac{number of moles}{concentration}$

Volume of citric acid = $\frac{0.059}{0.8}$ = 0.074L

Expressing in mL gives 74mL

A scientist investigates on two unknown solutions. Which is not a scientific experiment she can perform on the solutions?

Serga [27]

As you can search and read the definition of a scientific experiment is the process of testing and finding the truth through this scientific method. Thus, all items are considered scientific experiment except for item "c" Ask her coworkers which solution they thick is better.

Here is the electron configuration for Magnesium. How many total electrons are in the 2nd energy level?

balandron [24]

Answer:

8 electrons

Explanation:

Magnesium is present on group 2.

It has 2 valence electrons.

Electronic configuration of magnesium:

Mg₁₂ = 1s² 2s² 2p⁶ 3s²

1st energy level contain 2 electrons.(1s²)

2nd energy level contain 8 electrons. (2s² 2p⁶)

3rd energy level contain 2 electrons. (3s²)

3rs energy level of magnesium is called valence shell. It contain two valance electrons. Magnesium can easily donate its two valance electrons and get stable electronic configuration.

It react with halogens and form salt. For example,

Mg + Cl₂ → MgCl₂
