How does the brønsted-Lowry theory define acids and bases?

Chemistry

Leviafan [203]3 years ago

They define acids as proton donors, and bases as proton acceptors

If you were to have:

HNO3 + H2O -> H3O+. + NO3-

You can see that the nitric acid (HNO3) gave a hydrogen ion which has 1 proton, 0 neutrons and 0 electrons to the water so we just say that it gave a proton.

Now let's see a base

NH3 + H2O -> NH4+ + OH-

Now, you can see that the ammonia (NH3) gained a hydrogen ion (proton) from the water to become ammonium(NH4). which means it accepted a proton

That's basically it. Feel free to ask if you have any further questions

Answer:

A  Brønsted-Lowry acid is a proton donor.

A Brønsted-Lowry base is a proton acceptor.

Explanation:

\underbrace{\hbox{NH$_{3}$}}_{\hbox{base}} + \underbrace{\hbox{HCl}}_{\hbox{acid}} \longrightarrow \text{NH$_{4}^{+}$} + \text{Cl$^{-}$}

The NH₃ is a Brønsted-Lowry base because it accepts a proton to become NH₄⁺.

The HCl is a Brønsted-Lowry acid because it donates a proton to NH₃ and becomes Cl⁻ .

Answer: 2) Chloroform & Caustic potash

Explanation:

The carbylamine reaction is a kind of chemical test which is done to detect primary amines in an unknown solution. It cannot detect secondary and tertiary amines.

The reaction involves the heating with up of the unknown solution with alcoholic potassium hydroxide or caustic potash and the chloroform.

In the presence of primary amine, the production of isocyanide results.

How many moles of ammonium ions are in 125 mL of 1.40 M NH4NO3 solution? ________ moles (give answer with correct sig figs in un
Sholpan [36]

The number of mole of ammonium ion, NH₄⁺ in the solution is 0.175 mole

We'll begin by calculating the number of mole of NH₄NO₃ in the solution. This can be obtained as follow:

Volume = 125 mL = 125 / 1000 = 0.125 L

Molarity = 1.40 M

<h3>Mole of NH₄NO₃ =? </h3>

Mole = Molarity x Volume

Mole of NH₄NO₃ = 1.40 × 0.125

<h3>Mole of NH₄NO₃ = 0.175 mole</h3>

Finally, we shall determine the number of mole of ammonium ion, NH₄⁺ in the solution. This can be obtained as follow:

NH₄NO₃(aq) —> NH₄⁺(aq) + NO₃¯(aq)

From the balanced equation above,

1 mole of NH₄NO₃ contains 1 mole of NH₄⁺

Therefore,

0.175 mole of NH₄NO₃ will also contain 0.175 mole of NH₄⁺

Thus, the number of mole of ammonium ion, NH₄⁺ in the solution is 0.175 mole

some inkjet printers produce picoliter-sized drops. how many water molecules are there in one picoliter of water? the density of
GrogVix [38]

3.37 x 10¹⁰ molecules

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Volume of water = 1pL = 1 x 10⁻¹²L

Density of water = 1.00g/mL = 1000g/L

Unknown:

Number of water molecules = ?

Solution:

To solve this problem, we first find the mass of the water molecule in the inkjet.

       Mass of water = density of water x volume of water

Then, the number of molecules can be determined using the expression below:

        number of moles = \frac{mass of water}{molar mass of water}

 Number of molecules = number of moles x 6.02 x 10²³

Solving:

Mass of water = 1 x 10⁻¹² x 1000 = 1 x 10⁻⁹g

Number of moles:

Molar mass of H₂O = 2 + 16 = 18g/mol

Number of moles = \frac{1 x 10^{-12} }{18} = 5.6 x 10⁻¹⁴moles

Number of molecules =  5.6 x 10⁻¹⁴   x   6.02 x 10²³ = 33.7 x 10⁹

                                     = 3.37 x 10¹⁰ molecules

The vapor pressure of diethyl ether (ether) is 463.57 mm Hg at 25 °C. A nonvolatile, nonelectrolyte that dissolves in diethyl et
Alexxx [7]

<u>Answer:</u> The vapor pressure of solution is 459.17 mmHg

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles, we use the equation:

\text{Number of moles}=\frac{\text{Given mass}}{\text{Molar mass}}      .....(1)

  • <u>For testosterone:</u>

Given mass of testosterone = 7.752 g

Molar mass of testosterone = 288.4 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of testosterone}=\frac{7.752g}{288.4g/mol}=0.027mol

  • <u>For diethyl ether:</u>

Given mass of diethyl ether = 208.0 g

Molar mass of diethyl ether = 74.12 g/mol

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

\text{Moles of diethyl ether}=\frac{208.0g}{74.12g/mol}=2.81mol

Mole fraction of a substance is calculated by using the equation:

\chi_A=\frac{n_A}{n_A+n_B}

\chi_{\text{testosterone}}=\frac{n_{\text{testosterone}}}{n_{\text{testosterone}}+n_{\text{diethyl ether}}}

\chi_{\text{testosterone}}=\frac{0.027}{0.027+2.81}\\\\\chi_{\text{testosterone}}=0.0095

The formula for relative lowering of vapor pressure will be:

\frac{p^o-p_s}{p^o}=i\times \chi_{\text{solute}}

where,

p^o = vapor pressure of solvent (diethyl ether) = 463.57 mmHg

p^s = vapor pressure of the solution = ?

i = Van't Hoff factor = 1 (for non electrolytes)

\chi_{\text{solute}} = mole fraction of solute (testosterone) = 0.0095

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\frac{463.57-p^s}{463.57}=1\times 0.0095\\\\p^s=459.17mmHg

Hence, the vapor pressure of solution is 459.17 mmHg
