By definition, Bronsted-Lowry acid is a proton donor in the acid-base neutralization reaction. When a weak acid like acetylsalicylic acid is reacted with water, the water here acts as the Bronsted-Lowry base. This is possible because water has properties of amphoterism - can act as an acid or base. In this case, acetylsalicylic acid would have to donate its H+ atom to water, so that it would yield a hydronium ion, H₃O⁺. The complete net ionic reaction is shown in the picture.

So, in the reaction, the products yield are the acetylsalicylate ion and the hydronium ion.

Why can a liquid change to take the shape of its container but NOT expand to fill the container itself?

tiny-mole [99]

Answer: Option (C) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Molecules in a liquid have less force of attraction as compared to solids. But liquid molecules have more force of attraction as compared to gases.

Since molecules of a gas are held together by weak Vander waal forces, therefore, they expand to fill the container whereas molecules in a liquid are not expanded in a container like gases because of more force of attraction within molecules of liquids as compared to gases.

Hence, a liquid can take the shape of container in which it is kept.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, a liquid change to take the shape of its container but NOT expand to fill the container itself because the particles of a liquid are held together loosely enough to flow, but not so loose that they expand.

Which statement is TRUE about oxidation-reduction reactions? a. Every oxidation must be accompanied by a reduction. b. There are

Tomtit [17]

Answer:

Every oxidation must be accompanied by a reduction.

Explanation:

Oxidation and reduction are complementary processes. There can be no oxidation without reduction and vice versa. It is actually a given an take affair. A specie looses electrons which must be gained by another specie to complete the process. This explains why the selected option is the correct one.
