Acid donates a proton and produces a conjugate base.

Chemistry
1 answer:
Len [333]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: Yes! The statement is true

Explanation:

According to Bronsted-Lowry theory, an acid is a substance that donates a proton and produces a conjugate base while a base is a molecule or ion which accepts the proton.

An example of Bronsted-Lowry acid and base is Ethanoic acid, CH3COOH and hydroxide ion, OH- respectively as shown in the reaction below

CH3COOH(aq) + OH-(aq) <---> CH3COO-(aq) + H2O(l)

The Ethanoic acid acts as an acid by donating a proton to the hydroxide ion which accepts it, thus producing ethanoate ion, CH3COO- as a conjugate base.

Thus, the statement "Acid donates a proton and produces a conjugate base" is true.

Read the descriptions below of two substances and an experiment on each. Decide whether the result of the experiment tells you t
Phantasy [73]

Answer:

Samples A and B are mixtures

Explanation:

For sample A, we were told that the initial density of the solution is 0.77/gmL. After distillation, the liquid left has a density of 1.04/gmL. Apparently, A is a mixture of liquids.

As for sample B, the spread of the chromatogram resulting in different colours show that the sample B is not pure. It is a mixture of substances. A pure sample will yield only a single spot.

Explain how the Rutherford gold foil experiment correctly advanced atomic theory away from the plum pudding model?
Rudiy27

Answer is: Rutherford demonstrate that J.J Thompson's Plum Pudding model was not accurate.

Rutherford theorized that atoms have their charge concentrated in a very small nucleus.

This was famous Rutherford's Gold Foil Experiment: he bombarded thin foil of gold with positive alpha particles (helium atom particles, consist of two protons and two neutrons).  

Rutherford observed the deflection of alpha particles on the photographic film and notice that most of alpha particles passed straight through foil.

That is different from Plum Pudding model, because it shows that most of the atom is empty space.

Hi! I need some solar system facts!
nikitadnepr [17]
The Solar System[b] is the gravitationally bound system of the Sun and the objects that orbit it, either directly or indirectly.[c] Of the objects that orbit the Sun directly, the largest are the eight planets,[d] with the remainder being smaller objects, the dwarf planets and small Solar System bodies. Of the objects that orbit the Sun indirectly—the natural satellites—two are larger than the smallest planet, Mercury.[e]
