Which statement is true about a base when it reacts with another substance?

Answer:

A. It receives a hydrogen ion.

Explanation:

The Bronsted lowry theory of acids and bases solves this problem. The theory states that;

Any compound that can transfer a proton to any other compound is an acid, and the compound that accepts the proton is a base. A proton is a nuclear particle with a unit positive electrical charge; it is represented by the symbol H+ because it constitutes the nucleus of a hydrogen atom.

So among the options, the option that says a base receives a hydrogen ion is the right answer which is option A.

Take the following reaction for example:

HCl  + NH₃    ⇌  NH₄⁺  +  Cl⁻

Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is the Brønsted-Lowry acid because it donates a hydrogen ion. Ammonia (NH3) is the Brønsted-Lowry base because it accepts the hydrogen ion.

Answer:   a. It receives a hydrogen ion.

Explanation:  Base is a species which is capable of donating its negative quantity and accepting the positive one.

For example, ammonia is considered as a base because it is capable of donating its lone pairs of electrons and can accept an proton as well.

Here, out of the given options, Hydrogen H^{+} is a proton which is acting as a positive species and hydroxide ion OH^{-} is a negative species.

Thus, option (A) is the correct answer as it will receive a hydrogen ion from another base making itself a conjugate acid.

Answer:

Value = 1.80 g/cm³ (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

\frac{3.39 \times 10^7g}{(\frac{4}{3} )(3.1416)(1.65 \times 10^2 cm)^3}

Computation:

\frac{3.39 \times 10^7g}{(\frac{4}{3} )(3.1416)(1.65 \times 10^2 cm)^3} \\\\\frac{3.39 \times 10^7g}{(\frac{4}{3} )(3.1416)(4.492125 \times 10^6 cm^3)} \\\\ \frac{3.39 \times 10^7g}{(\frac{4}{3} )(3.1416)(4.492125 \times 10^6 cm^3)}\\\\ \frac{3.39 \times 10^7g}{18.8166132\times 10^6 cm^3} \\\\ 1.80159945g/cm^3

Value = 1.80 g/cm³ (Approx)

What happens when carbon dioxide is passed through lime water for a long time? write with equation​
Vlada [557]

Answer:

when CO2 gas is passed through lime water it turns milky due to the formation of calcium carbonate which formula is CaCO3.

Ca(OH)2+ CO2------ CaCO3

when excess of carbon dioxide is passed through calcium carbonate calcium hydrogen carbonate is formed and solution become colourless.

CaCO3+CO2------ Ca(HCO3)
