When hno2 dissociates in water, which atom is dontaing electrons, allowing water to act as a lewis base?
1 answer:
Answer to this is O-atom.
Explanation: The Bronsted acid-base theory is the backbone of chemistry. This theory focuses mainly on acids and bases acting as proton donors or proton acceptors.
where is the Lewis Acid and
is the Lewis Base and
is the Covalent Bond.
Reaction of dissociation of in
is given as:
In this reaction O-atom has lone pair in water and therefore it accepts the proton from forming a Lewis Base.

Answer:
First of all they are super tiny particles of neutrons, electrons and protons. Then they come together to organize a structure of atom. Atoms come together to form a molecule and smaller molecules work together to form macromolecules. Thus, how they organize and form building blocks of a substance.

Answer:
So the answer would be 10 moles
Explanation:
1) Start with the molecular formula for water:
2) If there are 10 moles of water use a mole ratio to calculate the moles of oxygen it would produce.
(This question is... interesting... since they chose an element that is diatomic in free state so It could TECHNICALLY be two answers, moles of O or moles of )
The mole ratio is 1 moles of to 1 moles of O. This is because the coefficient for oxygen in water is simple 1, so the ratio is 1:1.
3) that means if 10 moles of water decompose, they decompose into 10 moles of and 10 moles of O.
Extra:
About what I was saying before about the question being slightly interesting:
10 moles of pure oxygen is produced but free state oxygen exists as so it could possibly be 10 OR 5! However, notice it says elements. This leads me to believe the answer is 10 (monatomic oxygen) instead of 5 (free state/diatomic oxygen).
I hope this helps!
