Answer:

b. NH₃.

Explanation:

Firstly, we need to defined the base;

Base is the substance that can produce OH⁻ ions in the solution.

So, NaOH, KOH, and NH₃ are bases because they can produce OH⁻ ions in the solution.

But, K₂O is not a base, it can not produce OH⁻ ions in the solution.

Now, we need to differentiate between strong and weak bases.

Strong bases are bases that can completely ionized in the solution and produce OH⁻ ions.

NaOH and KOH are strong bases because they can completely ionized in the solution and produce OH⁻ ions.

Weak bases are bases that can not completely ionized (ionized partially) in the solution and produce OH⁻ ions.

NH₃is a weak base hat can not completely ionized (ionized partially) in the solution and produce OH⁻ ions.

So, the right choice is: NH₃.

Pls help me will mark Brianliest!!! I know the answer choice is a bit cut off. Topic is chem equilibrium

Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

See notes on LeChatlier's Principle I gave you yesterday.

Explanation:

Remember chemical see-saw => Removing Fe⁺³ makes the reactant side of the see-saw lighter causing the balance to tilt right then shift left to establish a new equilibrium with new concentration values. Such would result in a decrease in FeSCN⁺² concentration and increases in Fe⁺³ and SCN⁻ concentrations to replace the original amount of ppt'd Fe⁺³. => Answer Choice 'B' ... Also, see attached => Concentration effects on stability of chemical equilibrium .

If equal amounts of silver ion are added to silver bromide and silver chloride, why does the bromide mixture precipitate first?

VARVARA [1.3K]

Answer is: precipitation requires fewer Ag⁺ ions in AgBr than in AgCl.
Chemical reactions:
Ksp(KBr) = 5,3·10⁻¹³.
Ksp(KCl) = 1,8·10⁻¹⁰.
Ksp is solubility product constant. The higher the Ksp value, substance is more soluble. KBr has lower Ksp, so it is easier to form precipitant of KBr than KCl.
