Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

The compound is acetylacetone. This compound is immiscible with water because it is completely nonpolar.

However the introduction of ammonia, leads to the ionization of the specie. In the presence of a base(such as NH3), the molecule acetylacetone is deprotonated and its corresponding anion is formed. This anion can now interact with water and become miscible with it.

Explanation:

Electrons are closer to the nucleus are in filled orbitals and are called core electrons. More energy which in nucleus called nuclear strOng energy to remove electron thars why its also a way harder too..

Write a net ionic equation to show that acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin), hc9h7o4, behaves as a brÃ¸nsted-lowry acid in water.

Thepotemich [5.8K]

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.

How does changing the surface area increase the reaction rate of a chemical change

Anon25 [30]

Effect of increasing surface area on the rate of a reaction. ... Increasing the surface area of a solid reactant exposes more of its particles to attack. This results in an increased chance of collisions between reactant particles, so there are more collisions in any given time and the rate of reaction increases.
