Answer:

poor hydrogen-ion donor

Explanation:

Acid dissociation constant constant chemistry is the equilibrium constant of the dissociation reaction of an acid, it is denoted by Ka. This equilibrium constant is a measure of the strength of an acid in a solution.

Note these as a rule of thumb:

When Ka is large, the dissociation of the acid is favored.

When Ka is small, the acid does not dissociate to a large extent.

Hence, a Ka of 4.3 x 10-7 shows a weak acid. A weak acid is a poor hydrogen ion donor because it does not dissociate to a large extent in solution.

Which statement describes an Arrhenius acid

liq [111]

Answer:

According to the Lewis concept, an acid is defined as a substance that accepts electron pairs and base is defined as a substance which donates electron pairs. Hence, the correct statement is arrhenius acid produces hydrogen ions in solution.

Gwar [14]

Answer:

4 1/2

Explanation:

Use a ratio to find your answer

4 6

----- = -------

3 x

Cross multiply to solve for x.

4x = 18

x = 18/4

x = 4 2/4 which is the same as 4 1/2

Sierra has a special kind of liquid rubber. She knows that ultraviolet light is

lana66690 [7]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Light is a form of energy. Both ultraviolet light and xrays are part of the electromagnetic spectrum.

As was said in the question, ultraviolet rays is absorbed by the rubber. We must know that prolonged exposure of this piece of rubber to incident ultraviolet light causes the vaporization of volatile materials in the rubber.

When volatile materials in the rubber vaporize, the rubber can become solid. Thus, ultraviolet light can cause rubber to become solid.

However, not all types of light can do this hence it does matter the type of light that falls on the rubber material.

A 4.36 g sample of an unknown alkali metal hydroxide is dissolved in 100.0 ml of water. an acid-base indicator is added and the

Fofino [41]

Answer:

(a) $102.6g/mol$

(b) Rubidium

Explanation:

Hello,

This titration is carried out by assuming that the volume of base doesn't have a significant change when the mass is added, thus, we state the following data a apply the down below formula to compute the molarity of the base solution:

$V_{base}=0.1L; M_{acid}=2.5M, V_{acid}=0.017L\\V_{base}M_{base}=V_{acid}M_{acid}$

Solving for the molarity of base we've got:

$M_{base}=\frac{M_{acid}*V_{acid}}{V_{base}}=\frac{2.50M*0.017L}{0.1L} =0.425M=0.425mol/L$

Now, we can compute the moles of the base as:

$n_{base}=0.425mol/L*0.1L=0.0425mol$

(a) Now, one divides the provided mass over the previously computed moles to get the molecular mass of the unknown base:

$\frac{4.36g}{0.0425mol} =102.6g/mol$

(b) Subtracting the atomic mass of oxygen and hydrogen, the metal's atomic mass turns out into:

$102.6g/mol-16g/mol-1g/mol=85.6g/mol$

So, that atomic mass dovetails to the Rubidium's atomic mass.

Best regards.
