Lightning rods are mounted on top of tall structures to protect them during thunderstorms. If lightning strikes, it will hit the

rod and be directed to the ground through a wire, instead of passing through the structure. What type of substance should be used to make a lightning rod, and why?

Here we have to point out the necessary character of the substance needed which are used as lightning conductor.  

The substance should have the following properties:

High electricity carrying capacity and less resistant.

High melting point

The substance should have high electricity carrying capacity or the resistance is less so that the electricity generated during the lightning easily conducted to the ground  

The substance should have high melting point so that during lightning the generated high temperature cannot disrupt the material.

Which of the following is an example of ionization of an acid?
Amiraneli [1.4K]

Answer:

NH3(g) + H2O(1) → NH4+(aq) + OH (aq)

HF(aq) + H2O(1) → H3O+(aq) + F (aq)

Explanation:

Acid-base reactions are chemical reactions involving acids and bases. Acids tend to ionize/dissociate in water, a property which determines their strength. Ionization of an acid refers to the acid losing its hydrogen ion (H+) in water solution. An acid ionizes or dissociates to form a conjugate base.

A strong acid is so because it ionizes completely in water i.e. loses all its hydrogen ion (H+) while a weak acid partially ionizes in water.

In the chemical reactions;

1) NH3(g) + H2O(1) → NH4+(aq) + OH (aq)

H20 loses its hydrogen ion (H+) in this reaction to form an anion (OH-). Hence, water (H20) is an acid in this case which ionizes to form a conjugate base (OH-). This is an example of ionization of acid.

2) HF(aq) + H2O(1) → H3O+(aq) + F (aq)

Hydrogen fluoride (HF) loses its hydrogen ion (H+) in the presence of water to form anion (F-). The HF is the acid while F- is it's conjugate base. Thus, an example of ionization of acid
