Complete the equation to show how hydrofluoric acid, HF, acts as a Brønsted-Lowry acid in water. Balanced equation:

Chemistry

shepuryov [24]3 years ago
8 0

Answer : The balanced equation is,

HF+H_2O\rightleftharpoons H_3O^++F^-

Explanation :

According to the Bronsted Lowry concept, Bronsted Lowry-acid is a substance that donates one or more hydrogen ion in a reaction and Bronsted Lowry-base is a substance that accepts one or more hydrogen ion in a reaction.

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

HF+H_2O\rightleftharpoons H_3O^++F^-

In this reaction, hydrofluoric acid is act as a Bronsted Lowry-acid because it donate one hydrogen ion to H_2O and H_3O^+ is act as a Bronsted Lowry-base because it accept one hydrogen ion from HF.

28 ml of 0.10 m hcl is added to 60 ml of 0.10 m sr(oh)2. determine the concentration of oh− in the resulting solution.
Blababa [14]
Here is an acid-base reaction. Hydrochloric acid (HCl) reacts with strontium hydroxide [ Sr(OH)2 ]

Ions H+ and OH- neutralize each other. If the amounts are not equal, one of them will be in excess. 
Follow the steps as

1. Find moles of ions: mole= Molarity * Volume (in liter) ; n= M * V OR millimole = Molarity * Volume (in ml) ;
2. Write the equation
3. Find out excess ion
4. Use final volume (V acid + V base ) to calculate concentration of excess ion.

n HCI = 28 ml * 0.10 M = 0.28 mmol, releases 0.28 mmol H+ ions
n Sr(OH)2= 60 ml * 0.10 M= 0.60 mmol, releases 2* 0.60=1.20 mmol OH- ions
since Sr(OH)2⇒ Sr2+ + 2OH-

Neutralization reaction is OH- + H+ ---> H2O. The ratio is 1:1. That means 1 mmol hydroxide ions will neutralize 1 mmol hydrogen ions. Since OH- ions are greater in amount, they will be in excess

n(OH-) - n(H+)= 1.20 - 0.28 = 0.92 mmol OH- ions UNREACTED.

Total volume= V acid + V base= 28 ml + 60 ml = 98 ml

Molarity of OH- ions= mole / Vtotal = 0.92/98= 0.009 M

The answer is 0.009 M.

Hibernation is _______. A. An example of an abiotic cycle b. Triggered by changes in the weather c. Caused only by biotic factor
natta225 [31]

The correct answer is option b, that is, triggered by changes in the weather.  

Hibernation refers to a state of lower metabolism and inactivity usually witnessed in endotherms. This condition is featured by a slow heart rate, slow breathing, low metabolic rate, and low body temperature. It assists the majority of the endotherms to thrive in the cold seasons. For example, hibernation of a bear in winters. Therefore, weather change can stimulate hibernation.
