I would say B, because in normal reactions (non-nuclear) protons are not moved around, and according to Bronsted-Lowry theory, bases accept ELECTRONS. Thus the answer cannot be A, C, or D and must be B.

10) The presence of nitrates in soil can be shown by warming the soil with
tresset_1 [31]

Answer:

ammonia

Explanation:

Nitrogen fertilizers contain N in the forms of ammonium, nitrate and urea. Upon application to the soil, urea-N rapidly hydrolyzes to ammonia, thus it shares similar characteristics as ammonia-based N fertilizers.

The smallest unit of an element that retains all the characteristics of that element is called a(n)
Maksim231197 [3]
<span>The smallest unit of an element that retains all the characteristics of that element is called an A. atom.
Atoms consist of protons, electrons, and neutrons, but they are particles and don't have the characteristics of the element which is why D is incorrect. B and C are not the smallest units - atoms are smaller than them.

Magnesium reacts with a certain element to form a compound with the general formula MgX. What would the most likely formula be f
ziro4ka [17]

Answer:K2X

Explanation: Valency can be defined as the combining power of an element. It is the valency that dictates the value an element will have when writing a chemical formula for its compound.

MgX is a compound of magnesium and an element X. The valency of magnesium in most of its compound is +2. Now for the 2 to have been absent in the chemical formula, this shows that the element X itself have a valency if -2 for the valencies of both to have canceled out.

Now considering the element potassium, it is an alkaline metal belonging to group 1 of the periodic table. Hence, it is expected that it has a valency of +1

Forming a compound with element X means there would be an exchange of valencies between the two. We have established that x has a valency of -2. The formula of the compound thus formed by exchanging the valencies of both element would be K2X

pav-90 [236]

Answer:

Balance molecular equation:

K2CO3(aq) + Sr(NO3)2(aq) → SrCO3(s) + 2KNO3(aq)

Net ionic equation:

CO3∧-2(aq) + Sr∧+2(aq) → SrCO3(s)

Explanation:

Potassium carbonate = K2CO3

Strontium nitrate = Sr(NO3)2

Chemical equation:

K2CO3 + Sr(NO3)2 → SrCO3 + KNO3

Balance chemical equation with physical states:

K2CO3(aq) + Sr(NO3)2(aq) → SrCO3(s) + 2KNO3(aq)

Ionic equation:

2K+(aq) + CO3∧-2(aq) + Sr∧+2(aq) + 2NO∧-3(aq) → SrCO3(s) + 2K+(aq) + 2NO∧-3(aq)

Net ionic equation:

CO3∧-2(aq) + Sr∧+2(aq) → SrCO3(s)

2K+ and 2NO∧-3 ions are spectator ions that's way these are not written in net ionic equation.

Spectator ions:

These are the ions that are present same on both side of chemical reaction and does not effect the equilibrium.
