To classify a substance as an Arrhenius acid or base, or as a Brønsted-Lowry acid or base, you must consider how the substance b

ehaves when it dissolves in water. Ammonia forms an aqueous solution according to the following chemical equation.
NH3(aq)+H2O(l)⇌NH4+(aq)+OH−(aq)
Based on this equation, which statement is correct?

a
Ammonia is an Arrhenius base but not a Brønsted-Lowry base.
b
Ammonia is a Brønsted-Lowry base but not an Arrhenius base.
c
Ammonia is an Arrhenius base and a Brønsted-Lowry base.
d
Ammonia is neither a Brønsted-Lowry base nor an Arrhenius base.

Answer:

Ammonia is an Arrhenius base and a Brønsted-Lowry base.

Explanation:

An Arrhenius base is any substance which, when it is dissolved in an aqueous solution, produces hydroxide (OH^-), ions in solution. An aqueous solution is a solution that has water present in it.

A Bronsted-Lowry base is a substance that accepts a proton, that is, a hydrogen ion (H^+).

Looking at the equation above, ammonia satisfies both characteristics. We can see that when ammonia is dissolved in water, hydroxide ions is produced in the solution. Hence it is an Arrhenius base. Similarly, the hydroxide ion is formed when ammonia accepts a proton. This is a characteristic of a Brownstead-Lowry base. Hence ammonia is both an Arrhenius base and a Brownstead-Lowry base.

The greater the friction, or rubbing, between particles in any fluid, the higher the viscosity. A fluid with a high viscosity has a large amount of internal friction. As the temperature of a gas increases, friction increases, and so the viscosity of the gas increases. The warmer the gas, the slower it flows.

thermal windows often have all the air pumped out between the panes and a gas pumped in that is not harmful and wont react with

C. Ar or Argon

<span>It is the most commonly used gas between thermal window panes. Argon has 34% lower thermal conductivity than air and is therefore more suitable to be used instead of air. It is also inert and does not react or causes any form of harm.</span>

Why do some atoms form positive ions and others form negative ions?
kenny6666 [7]
It depends on the location on the periodic table and if it is easier to loose are gain electrons to fill the valence electron shell.

The electron affinity of the neutral atom of the element can show indicate whether or not the element is going the make positive or negative ions.  The higher the electron affinity is, the more the neutral atom wants to gain electrons.  The electron affinity for alkali metals and alkaline earth metals are low due to the fact that they are located on the left of the periodic table and only needs to loose 1 or 2 electrons to have a completed valence shell.  That means that they want to form cations (loose electrons).  Halogens have a high electron affinity since they are located on the right of the periodic table and only have to gain 1 electron to get a completed valence electron configuration.  That means that it forms anions.

I hope this helps.  Let me know if anything is unclear.
