Determine if each statement below is True or False regarding Arrhenius and Br∅nsted-Lowry definitions for acids and bases.
1 answer:
Answer:
All statements are true
Explanation:
Arrhenius theory:-
The Arrhenius theory was introduced introduced by Swedish scientist named Svante Arrhenius in 1887.
According to the theory, acids are the substances which dissociate in the aqueous medium to produce electrically charged atoms ( may be molecule). Out of these species furnished, one must be a proton or the hydrogen ion, .
Hence, statement 1 is correct.
Bronsted-Lowry base is the specie which accepts the proton form the medium. For example, Benzoate ion is the conjugate base of the benzoic acid. It is a Bronsted-Lowry base and the dissociation of benzoate ion can be shown as:-
Hence, statement 2 is correct.
Acetic acid will dissociate as:-
Hence, statement 3 is also correct.

Answer:
Density, melting point. and magnetic properties
Explanation:
I can think of three ways.
1. Density
The density of Cu₂S is 5.6 g/cm³; that of CuS is 4.76 g/cm³.
It should be possible to distinguish these even with high school equipment.
2. Melting point
Cu₂S melts at 1130 °C (yellowish-red); CuS decomposes at 500 °C (faint red).
A Bunsen burner can easily reach these temperatures.
3. Magnetic properties
You can use a Gouy balance to measure the magnetic susceptibilities.
In Cu₂S the Cu⁺ ion has a d¹⁰ electron configuration, so all the electrons are paired and the solid is diamagnetic.
In CuS the Cu²⁺ ion has a d⁹ electron configuration, so all there is an unpaired electron and the solid is paramagnetic.
A sample of Cu₂S will be repelled by the magnetic field and show a decrease in weight.
A sample of CuS will be attracted by the magnetic field and show an increase in weight.
In the picture below, you can see the sample partially suspended between the poles of an electromagnet.
