Which one of the following statements is FALSE? a In a neutralization reaction, an acid reacts with base to produce a salt and H

pishuonlain [190]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

HF is a weak acid and not a strong acid. This is because fluorine is a highly electronegative atom and when it combines with a hydrogen atom then it will attract the valence electron of hydrogen atom more towards itself.

As a result, it will not dissociates easily to give hydrogen ion. Hence, it acts as a weak acid.

A neutralization reaction is defined as a reaction in which an acid reacts with a base to give salt and water. For example, $HCl + NaOH \rightarrow NaCl + H_{2}O$

It is true that, spectator ions "appear in the total ionic equation for a reaction, but not in the net ionic equation".

Titration is defined as a process in which concentration of an unknown solution is determined using a solution of known concentration.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement HF, HCl, and HNO3 are all examples of strong acids, is false.

For a particular redox reaction, NO-2 is oxidized to NO-3 and Ag+ is reduced to Ag . Complete and balance the equation for this

Salsk061 [2.6K]

The following are the steps to complete and balnce the equation for the given reaction

Explanation:

We are given, NO2– is oxidized to NO3– and Ag is reduced to Ag

NO2– + Ag+ -----> NO3– + Ag(s)

Step 1) Assign the oxidation state to each element reaction

NO2– + Ag+ -----> NO3– + Ag(s)

N= +3 N = +5

O = -2 O = -2

Ag = +1 Ag = 0

NO2– -----> NO3– ………oxidation half reaction

Ag+ -----> Ag(s) ……….reduction half reaction

Step 2) Balance the element other than O and H

NO2– -----> NO3–

Ag+ -----> Ag(s)

Step 3) Balance the O by adding 1 H2O for 1 O

NO2– + H2O -----> NO3–

Ag+ -----> Ag(s)

Step 4) Balance the H by adding H+

NO2– + H2O -----> NO3– + 2H+

Ag+ -----> Ag(s)

Step 5) Balance the charge by adding electron

NO2– + H2O -----> NO3– + 2H+ + 2e-

Ag+ + 1e------> Ag(s)

Step 6) Balance the electron in both half reaction

NO2– + H2O -----> NO3– + 2H+ + 2e-

2 Ag+ + 2e------> 2 Ag(s)

What is the best way to organize desert several several million different types of organisms on earth

SCORPION-xisa [38]

Answer:

The desert should be divided into different types based on its properties. The organisms living in specific type of desert should be named accordingly.

Explanation:

There are usually five major types of desert in the world. Tropical, rainy, semi arid desert, coastal desert and dry desert. There are many different types of organisms living in these deserts. The biodiversity has made it difficult for the humans to analyse and identify the millions of different types. The best way is to organize and name the organisms that live in specific types of deserts.
