Answer: a substance that increases the hydroxide ion concentration of a solution

Explanation: According to Arrhenius concept, an acid is a substance which donates hydronium ions $[H^+]$ ions when dissolved in water and base is a substance which donates hydroxide ions $[OH^-]$ ions in water.

According to the Bronsted Lowry conjugate acid-base pair, an acid is a substance that donates protons and a base is a substance that accepts protons.

According to Lewis concept, an acid is the substance which accepts electron pairs and abase is a substance which donates electron pairs.

Thus a substance that increases the hydroxide ion concentration of a solution is an Arrhenius base.

Hi May I know how to balance this

almond37 [142]

Answer:

2Ba₃(PO₄)₂ +6SiO₂ ⇒ P₄O₁₀ +6BaSiO₃

Explanation:

Equating coefficients, you get ...

aBa₃(PO₄)₂ +bSiO₂ ⇒ cP₄O₁₀ +dBaSiO₃

For Ba: 3a = d

For P: 2a = 4c

For O: 8a +2b = 10c +3d

For Si: b = d

Expressing everything in terms of b and c, we get ...

d = b

a = b/3 = 2c

From the second, b = 6c, so we have ...

a = 2c

b = 6c

c = c

d = 6c

And we can write the equation with c=1 as ...

2Ba₃(PO₄)₂ +6SiO₂ ⇒ P₄O₁₀ +6BaSiO₃

Carbonyl fluoride, COF2, is an important intermediate used in the production of fluorine-containing compounds. For instance, it

lions [1.4K]

Answer: The equilibrium concentration of $COF_2$ is 0.332 M

Explanation:

We are given:

Initial concentration of $COF_2$ = 2.00 M

The given chemical equation follows:

$2COF_2(g)\rightleftharpoons CO_2(g)+CF_4(g)$

Initial: 2.00

At eqllm: 2.00-2x x x

The expression of $K_c$ for above equation follows:

$K_c=\frac{[CO_2][CF_4]}{[COF_2]^2}$

We are given:

$K_c=6.30$

Putting values in above expression, we get:

$6.30=\frac{x\times x}{(2.00-2x)^2}\\\\x=0.834,1.25$

Neglecting the value of x = 1.25 because equilibrium concentration of the reactant will becomes negative, which is not possible

So, equilibrium concentration of $COF_2=(2.00-2x)=[2.00-(2\times 0.834)]=0.332M$

Hence, the equilibrium concentration of $COF_2$ is 0.332 M

If a Kleenex box has a length of 8cm, width or 2cm, and a height of 4cm what is the volume of the Kleenex box?

Anettt [7]

Answer:

The volume of the Kleenex box is 64 cm.

Explanation:

Volume = B x W x H

So: V = 8cm x 2cm x 4cm = 64cm

[11]. Of these four liquids, which is the most viscous?

-Dominant- [34]

The most viscous among the choices is D. Honey at room temperature.

Viscosities of liquids typically vary with temperature. The higher the temperature, the lower the viscosity. Among the choices, only motor oil and honey appear to be the most viscous. The clue that helps determined the answer are the words "hot" and "room temperature". Hot motor oil is less viscous, while honey at room temperature is more viscous. Even comparing their viscosities at room temperature, honey already has a higher viscosity than motor oil.
