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

Chemistry

Maurinko [17]3 years ago

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.

Are all molecules of a particular substance alike?
STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

Yes.

Explanation:

Yes, all molecules of a particular substance are similar or alike if the substance has similar shape and structure. Molecule is made up of two or more atoms having no charge on them and the atoms present in it make bonds with each other. For example, water is made of similar molecules i. e. two hydrogen atom and one oxygen atom bonded together with a covalent bond.

Use the periodic table to determine the electron configuration for iodine (i). express your answer in condensed form.
Dovator [93]
Iodine electron configuration is:

1S^2 2S^2 2P^6 3S^2 3P^6 4S^2 3d^10 4P^6 5S^2 4d^10  5P^5
when Krypton is the noble gas in the row above iodine in the periodic table,
we can change 1S^2  2S^2 2P^6 3S^2 3P^6 4S^2 3d^10 4P^6 by the symbol
[Kr] of Krypton.

So we can write the electron configuration of Iodine:
[Kr] 5S^2 4d^10 5P^5

How many CO2 molecules in 0.0189 mol of CO2?
Blizzard [7]

Answer:

option C is correct = 1.14 × 10²² molecules of  CO₂

Explanation:

Given data:

Number of moles of CO₂ = 0.0189 mol

Number of molecules = ?

Solution:

The given problem will solve by using Avogadro number.

It is the number of atoms , ions and molecules in one gram atom of element, one gram molecules of compound and one gram ions of a substance.

The number 6.022 × 10²³ is called Avogadro number.

For example,

18 g of water = 1 mole = 6.022 × 10²³ molecules of water

For given question:

1 mole of CO₂ =  6.022 × 10²³ molecules of  CO₂

0.0189 mol of CO₂ ×  6.022 × 10²³ molecules of  CO₂ / 1mol

1.14 × 10²² molecules of  CO₂

Thus, option C is correct.
