Answer: hydroxide ions

Explanation:

According to the Arrhenius concept, an acid is a substance that ionizes in the water to give hydronium ion or hydrogen ion and a bases is a substance that ionizes in the water to give hydroxide ion .

According to the Bronsted Lowry conjugate acid-base theory, an acid is defined as a substance which donates protons and a base is defined as a substance which accepts protons.

According to the Lewis concept, an acid is defined as a substance that accepts electron pairs and base is defined as a substance which donates electron pairs.

As KOH can give hydroxide ions on dissociation , it is considered as arrhenius base.

N the reaction Mg + 2HCl -> MgCl2 + H2 which element’s oxidation number does not change?

BartSMP [9]

Answer:- Oxidation number of Cl does not change as it is -1 on both sides.

Explanations:- oxidation number of Mg on reactant side is 0 as it is in its elemental form(not combined with another element).

Oxidation number of hydrogen in its compounds is +1, so if H is +1 in HCl the oxidation number of Cl is -1 as the sum has to be zero.

On product side, Mg oxidation number is +2 as the oxidation number of alkaline earth metals in their compounds is +2.

Two Cl are present in magnesium chloride, so if Mg is +2 then Cl is -1.

Oxidation number of H on product side is 0 as it is present in its elemental for, $H_2$ ,

So, it is only chlorine(Cl) whose oxidation number does not change for the given equation.

There are several hazards associated with the chemicals in the qualitative analysis experiment. for each chemical, identify the

Ilia_Sergeevich [38]

You can determine the hazards of these chemicals by looking at their material data safety sheets (MSDS).

1. 0.1 M Ag⁺: Silver compounds are absorbed by skin causing bluish pigmentation. Thus, it causes staining on skin. Also, liquid vapor may be irritating to skin and also moderately toxic when ingested.

2. 0.1 M Ba²⁺: This is mildly toxic when ingested causing stomach irritation, muscle weakness, swelling of organs like brain, liver, kidney and heart.

3. 0.1 M Fe³⁺:Iron is corrosive, has irritating vapor especially to the eyes, and toxic if ingested.

4. 6 M HCl: This is a concentrated strong acid, so it is corrosive, has irritating vapors, flammable and toxic when ingested.

5. 6 M H₂SO₄: This is also a concentrated strong acid. Moreover, it is a strong oxidizing agent. So, its hazards include: corrosive, has irritating vapors, toxic when ingested and causes staining on skin.

6. 6 M HNO₃: This is a concentrated strong acid, so it is corrosive, has irritating vapors, flammable and toxic when ingested.

7. 7.5 M NH₃: This is a weak base. It is characterized for its pungent odor. This is corrosive, has irritating vapors, toxic if ingested, and flammable.
