Why do many metal ions produce acidic solutions when dissolved in water?

Chemistry
1 answer:
lakkis [162]3 years ago
8 0
<span>Water molecules form a complex with metal ions (usually a 6-coordinate complex). And the high charge density on a metal ion draws electrons away from the water molecules, making the O-H bonds more polar than normal. This allows the dissociation of the protons, making solutions of most metal ions acidic</span>

If you put an egg on a sidewalk on a hot day in July and try to cook it you are using?
Zepler [3.9K]

Answer:

  • <em><u>Passive solar energy</u></em>

Explanation:

First of all, you must know that you if you put an egg on a sidewalk you are dealing with energy from the Sun, i.e. solar energy, while geothermal energy is energy that comes from the inner of the Earth and biomass energy comes from plant or animal material.

The term passive solar energy refers to the fact that the energy of the sun is used directly for the intended task, which in this case is to cook the egg.

The term active solar energy refers to the fact that the energy of the Sun is converted into a  different form of energy and then used for your purpose. For instance, if the energy of the Sun were used to produce electricity and then this electricity used to cook the egg, you would be using an acitve solar energy.

What is a vocab word for Friction?
Leona [35]

Answer: Friction is the resistance to motion of one object moving relative to another. It is not a fundamental force, like gravity or electromagnetism. Instead, scientists believe it is the result of the electromagnetic attraction between charged particles in two touching surfaces.
