What are facts or characteristics about acid?

1 answer:

8 0

Acids are ionic compounds (a compound with a positive or negative charge) that break apart in water to form hydrogen ion (H+). Characteristics of acid: Acid taste sour. Acids also react strongly to metals, generally with the evolution of hydrogen gas (Eg: Zn + HCI). Also strong acids are dangerous and can burn your skin off. Acids change litmus red. Acids become less acidic when mixed with bases. An acid has Ph scale of under 7.

An acid with the general formula RCOOH is used to make a 0.10 M solution in water. The pH of this acid solution is measured as 3

Sati [7]

Answer:

0.159 \%

Explanation:

The acid will dissociate according to the reaction shown below:-

$RCOOH + H_2O\rightleftharpoons RCOO^- + H_3O^+$

Given that, pH=3.8

The concentration of can be determined from the expression fo pH as:-

pH = - log $[H^+]$

3.8 = - log $[H^+]$

$[H^+]$ = $1.59\times 10^{-4}\ M$

The initial concentration of RCOOH was 0.10 M, then the percent dissociation was- calculated as shown below:-

$\% \ dissociation=\frac{1.59\times 10^{-4}}{0.10}\times 100=0.159\ \%$

Protozoan infection is not likely to be transmitted by:

anygoal [31]

Hi!

The answer is breathing.

Protozoans are organisms that can multiply themselves in humans, and serious infections can develop from one organism. The most frequently transmission methods are contaminated food or fecal contact. Dog bites inoculate bacteria into deep tissue, and they also serve as a transmission method.

Breathing is not considered to be likely to transmit protozoan infection because protozoans rarely develop in the respiratory tract.

Baking soda (nahco3) is an active ingredient in some antacids. determine the percent composition of oxygen in baking soda.

telo118 [61]

Assuming the question is asking for percent composition by mass,

The molar mass of sodium bicarbonate is:

22.990 + 1.008 + 12.011 + 3*15.999 = 84.006 g/mol

The molar mass of 3 oxygen atoms is:

3*15.999 = 47.997 g/mol

The percentage composition by mass is:

47.997/84.006 * 100% = 57.1% (3 s.f.)
