Answer:

Rank of acid-base definitions from most specific to most general is-

Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowry, Lewis

Explanation:

Arrhenius acids are those which contain H atom and furnish proton ( $H^{+}$ ) in aqueous solution. Arrhenius bases are those which contain -OH group and furnish $OH^{-}$ in aqueous solution.

Bronsted-Lowry acids are those which can donate protons. Bronsted-Lowry bases are those which can accept proton.

So clearly, Bronsted-Lowry acids are also Arrhenius acids and Bronsted-Lowry bases are also Arrhenius bases .

Lewis acids are those which can accept electrons. Lewis bases are are those which can donate electrons.

So, donating or furnishing of proton alternatively suggests acceptance of electrons. Also consumption of proton alternatively suggests donation of electrons.

Hence Lewis acid-base are also Arrhenius acid-base as well as Bronsted-Lowry acid-base.

I know that Lewis acids and bases are the most inclusive because it deals with electron acceptors and donators. so the answer must be A

What is responsible for the larger size of an anion in comparison with the atom from which it is form?

GarryVolchara [31]

Answer:

electron-electron repulsion

Explanation:

When electrons add into valence shell of neutral elements, the element assumes a negative oxidation state. With this, the number of electrons having (-) charges will be larger than the number of protons having positive (+) charges. As a result, the extra electrons repel one another (i.e., like charges repel) and a larger radius is the result.

In contrast, when cations are formed, electrons are removed from the valence level (oxidation) producing an element having a greater number of protons than electrons. The larger number of protons will function to attract the electron cloud with a greater force that results in a contraction of atomic radius and a smaller spherical volume than the neutral unionized element.

To visualize, see attached chart that shows atomic and ionic radii before and after ionization of the elements.

Convert the following into balanced equations:

sesenic [268]

Gallium metal is heated in oxygen gas, it melts and forms solid gallium(III) oxide.

Ga + O₂⇒ Ga O₂

Balance the atoms with simple - whole coefficients.

4 Ga + 3 O₂ 2 Ga₂O₃.

Specify the states of matter.

4 Ga(s) + 3 O₂ (g) ⇒ 2 Ga₂O₃.(s)

Therefore, balanced equation is----- 4 Ga(s) + 3 O₂ (g) ⇒ 2 Ga₂O₃.(s)

What is the balanced formula equation?

A balanced equation is an equation for a chemical reaction in which the number of atoms for each element in the reaction and the total charge is the same for both the reactants and the products. In other words, the mass and the charge are balanced on both sides of the reaction.

Why are equations balanced?

A balanced equation obeys the Law of Conservation of Mass. This is an important guiding principal in science. Finally, a balanced equation lets up predict the amount of reactants needed and the amount of products formed.
