Answer:

Explanation:

The food contains the large proportion of water and added insoluble fibers which also contains essential nutrients does not add up much to the total gram weight of the food.

When we talk about the gram weight of any food item, it may or may not include the gram weight of its different nutrient molecules. It may have different reasons to it. One of the reasons can be because the nutrient molecule might contain a large percentage or proportion of water. Also, the nutrient molecules might be insoluble or indigestible fiber so it does not add up to the total gram weight of food.

Which of the following is not true of acids?
NeTakaya

Answer is: 2. dillute acids feel slipper.

1) Acids are corrosive is correct. For example hydrochloric acid (HCl) will react with most metals.

2) Dillute acids feel slippery is not correct. Bases, for example solution of sodium hydroxide feels slipery.

3) Acids have a distinctly sour taste is correct. For example, vinegar is mixture of acetic acid (CH₃COOH) and water (H₂O). Vinegar is colourless liquid with sour taste and pungent smell, freezing point of the vinegar is lower than glacial acetic acid.

4) Acids have more hydronium ions than hydroxide ions is correct. Because acid gives a lot of hydrogen cations (H⁺), pH (pH = -log[H⁺]) is lower than seven (acidic solution).

Write a net ionic equation to show that acetylsalicylic acid (aspirin), hc9h7o4, behaves as a brønsted-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.

Write the complete balanced equation for the neutralization reaction that occurs when aqueous hydroiodic acid, HI, and sodium hy
Serhud [2]

Answer:

H+ ( aq ) + HCO3- ( aq ) ------> H2O( l ) + CO2 ( g )

Explanation:

The complete reaction when hydroiodic acid and sodium hydrogen carbonate combine, would be as follows -

HI + NaHCO3 ----> NaI + H2O + CO2

net reaction

H2CO3 is highly unstable, and thus decomposes into the water and carbon dioxide you see present as the reactants. If you didn't know already, H2CO3 is also reffered to as carbonic acid. The rest of the elements present on the reactant side are Iodine and Sodium, which is why they are present on the product side as NaI.

Let me include the " physical states " in this reaction as well -

HI ( aq ) + NaHCO3 ( aq ) ----> NaI ( aq ) + H2O ( l ) + CO2 ( g )

Now the complete ionic equation would simply be each compound present as ions in an aqueous solution, so there is no need for an explanation on this step -

H+ ( aq ) + I- ( aq ) + Na+ ( aq ) + HCO3- ( aq ) -------> Na+ ( aq ) + I- ( aq ) + H2O( l ) + CO2 ( g )

The spectator ions in this reaction are I- and Na+, so canceling them out, you would receive the following net ionic equation -

H+ ( aq ) + HCO3- ( aq ) ------> H2O( l ) + CO2 ( g )

<u><em>Hope that helps!</em></u>
