Which characteristic might identify a substance as an Arrhenius acid?

1 answer:

6 0

Historically, the first chemical definition of an acid and a base was put forward by Svante Arrhenius, a Swedish chemist, in 1884. An Arrhenius acid is a compound that increases the H+ion concentration in aqueous solution. The H+ ion is just a bare proton, and it is rather clear that bare protons are not floating around in an aqueous solution. Instead, chemistry has defined the hydronium ion(H3O+) as the actual chemical species that represents an H+ion. H+ ions and H3O+ ions are often considered interchangeable when writing chemical equations (although a properly balanced chemical equation should also include the additional H2O). Classic Arrhenius acids can be considered ionic compounds in which H+ is the cation. Table 12.1 "Some Arrhenius Acids"lists some Arrhenius acids and their names.

Which of the following includes the correct pairing of volcano and its formation? Cinder volcano; large, explosive eruptions Cin

Anarel [89]

The correct pairing of the volcano to its formation would be the composite volcano wherein it usually yields large and violent eruptions. In addition to that, composite volcanoes or also known as the stratovolcano is usually made of materials containing increasing layers of hardened lava.

Calculate the amount in moles of 125 g of CaSO4.

Leto [7]

Answer:

Number of moles = 0.92 mol

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of CaSO₄ = 125 g

Number of moles of CaSO₄ = ?

Solution:

Formula:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Molar mass of CaSO₄:

Molar mass of CaSO₄ = 40 + 32+ 16×4

Molar mass of CaSO₄ = 40 + 32+ 64

Molar mass of CaSO₄ = 136 g/mol

Number of moles:

Number of moles = mass/ molar mass

Number of moles = 125 g/ 136 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.92 mol

The mole is defined as the amount of a substance containing the same number of particles as exactly 12 g of C-12. The amu is def

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Because it wouldn't make any sense

Explanation:

First of all, I think it's important to highlight the definition of isotope.

Isotope (Wikipedia): Variants of a particular chemical element <u>which differ in neutron number</u>...

This means that two isotopes are the same element but have different net mass per atom, due to the different number of neutrons.

Therefore, it's important to make the definition on the same isotope so that the proportion is equal. If the definition would be made on different isotopes, the proportion wouldn't have any sense. Let me be clear with this example:

mass in grams of a C-12 atom = 1.9944235 × 10 ^ -23 g --> this is the mass of a single C atom.

By definition --> 1 mol of anything = 6.02 x 10 ^ 23 particles of anything

Therefore, we know how much a single C atom weights. How many grams do you think that 6.02 x 10 ^ 23 atoms of C (i.e a mol of C) could weight??

1 single C atom ----------------------------- 1.9944235 × 10 ^ -23 g

6.02 x 10 ^ 23 atoms of C ------------ <u>12.006 g !!</u>

These 12 g is the same quantity than above! Therefore, 1 mol of C weights 12 g. If the definition were made with 13 g of C-13 (the other C isotope), these numbers will not be the same --> There would be a contradiction.

Regarding the second question, we need to search Ne-20 atomic mass in grams --> 3,3509177 × 10 ^ -23 g

Hence, if we follow the same rule, the amu would be 1/12 of Ne-20.

[ 3,3509177 × 10 ^ -23 g ] / 12 = 2.79 ^ -24 g
