Which of the following substances is a weak base? a. NaOH b. NH3 c. K2O d. KOH

Chemistry
1 answer:
zubka84 [21]3 years ago
8 0

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.

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

<em></em>

  • 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.

<em>So, the right choice is: NH₃.</em>

Which of the following acids will have the strongest conjugate base?HIHCNHNO3HClO4HCl
Andrej [43]

Answer:

HCN

Explanation:

Acids are the species which furnish hydrogen ions in the solution or is capable of forming bonds with electron pair species as they are electron deficient species.

When an acid donates a proton, it changes into a base which is known as its conjugate base.

Bases are the species which furnish hydroxide ions in the solution or is capable of forming bonds with electron deficient species as they are electron rich species. When a base accepts a proton, it changes into a acid which is known as its conjugate acid.

The acid and the base which is only differ by absence or presence of the proton are known as acid conjugate base pair.

Also, the strongest acid leads to the weakest conjugate base and vice versa.

Thus, Out of HI, HCN, HNO_3, HClO_4 and HCl , the weakest acid is:- HCN

<u>Thus, HCN corresponds to the strongest conjugate base. </u>

A solution has [H+] = 2.35 × 10-3 M. Find the [OH-] for this solution
Aleks04 [339]

Answer:

[OH-] for this solution is 4.255*10^-12

Explanation:

We are given

[H+] = 2.35 × 10-3 M

we need to find the concentration of [OH-]

we know from Equilibrium

[H+][OH-] = 10^-14

[OH-] = 10^14/2.35*10^10^-3

[OH-] = 0.4255*10^-11

[OH] = 4.255*10^-12

Therefore the Concentration  of [OH-] for this solution is 4.255*10^-12

How do the key results indicate
Lena [83]
The key results explain how you'll achieve a certain goal. They have to be quantitative, but always measurable in terms of their progress. This has to be considered when it comes to key results, because only results count for each milestone on the way to achieving the goal in question.

How many grams of water react to form 7.21 moles of Ca(OH)2

You have the stoichiometric equation. This tells you unequivocally that an

If you don't from where I am getting these numbers, you should know, and someone will be willing to elaborate.

Here, you have formed
