What is an acid and what is a base

Chemistry
2 answers:
Mice21 [21]3 years ago
5 0

Answer: The current common definition of an acid and a base is based upon how the substance releases or attracts hydrogen ions (H+). Acids release H+ ions that can turn neutral molecules into positively charged ions, while bases can attract H+ ions from neutral molecules to produce negatively charged ions.

Answer:

<u>An acid</u> is usually a corrosive liquid. The pH value of acids ranges from 1-6 (7 = a neutral). Acids neutralize alkalis, dissolve some metals, and turns litmus (a water soluble mixture used to test materials for acidity) red. Acid donates protons or hydrogen ions and/or accepts electrons. Most acids contain a hydrogen atom bond.

<u>A base</u> donates electrons, accepts protons from acids, or releases hydroxide ions in liquids. The pH value of bases ranges from 8-14. Base is any substance that is slippery to the touch in water, tastes bitter,  turns red litmus paper blue, and reacts with acids to form salts, and stimulates certain chemical reactions (base catalysis).

A penny has a mass of 2.50g and the Moon has a mass of ×7.351022kg, How many moles of pennies have a mass equal to the mass of t
baherus [9]
Answer: 122 moles

Procedure:

1) Convert all the units to the same unit

2) mass of a penny = 2.50 g

3) mass of the Moon = 7.35 * 10^22 kg (I had to arrage your numbers because it was wrong).

=> 7.35 * 10^22 kg * 1000 g / kg = 7.35 * 10^ 25 g.

4) find how many times the mass of a penny is contained in the mass of the Moon.

You have to divide the mass of the Moon by the mass of a penny

7.35 * 10^ 25 g / 2.50 g = 2.94 * 10^25 pennies

That means that 2.94 * 10^ 25 pennies have the mass of the Moon, which you can check by mulitiplying the mass of one penny times the number ob pennies: 2.50 g * 2.94 * 10^25 = 7.35 * 10^25.

5) Convert the number of pennies into mole unit. That is using Avogadros's number: 6.022 * 10^ 23

7.35 * 10^ 25 penny * 1 mol / (6.022 * 10^ 23 penny) = 1.22* 10^ 2 mole = 122 mol.

Answer: 122 mol
