Why do we call them "Neutralization reaction"?This is section 2.6 Chemical Reactions

Only some reactions are called neutralization reactions. The most common are acid-base reactions, and the reason is that the consequence of the reaction is the acidity of the acid is reduced, and the basicity of the base is reduced.

A canonical example would be HCl + NaOH = NaCl + H2O. The HCl solution is a very strong acid, e.g. it will react strongly with many things, including your skin if you get it on you. Same for the NaOH solution. However the result, for an equimolar reaction, would just be a solution of table salt (NaCl) in water, which has almost zero reactivity with anything. You can drink it. So we say in this reaction the acid and base have both been "neutralized" -- their potent powers eliminated... hope this helps!

Why is it better to measure the percent change in mass<br> ratherthan just using the change in mass?
never [62]

Answer: The result is presented in proportion which gives a clearer understanding and accurate result.

Explanation: Percentage change in mass is the proportion of the initial mass of a substance changed after sometime. The results is presented as a percentage making it more accurate and can help to give future reference to weight calculations.

Change is Mass is the mass of a substance left after sometime mostly given in grams. It is not as accurate as percentage change in mass. It is generally better to show results in percentage change in mass as it gives a better understanding of what mass of a substance was lost after a given period or after application of energy like Heat or increased temperature.

Which best explains why water is able to “stick” to the side of glass?
AveGali [126]

Explanation:

Adhesion means the ability to stick on the surface of another substance.

Water exhibits adhesive forces due to which it is able to stick to the glass.  Due to adhesive forces water spreads over the surface of glass and sticks to it.

These adhesive forces between the glass and water enough that it deforms the spherical shape of water molecules and help them stick to the surface of glass. As a result, adhesive forces overcome the repulsion between like molecules.

Hence, water is able to “stick” to the side of glass due to strong adhesive forces.

<u>Chemistry</u>

<u>Atomic Structure</u>

  • Using Dimensional Analysis
  • STP (Standard Conditions for Temperature and Pressure) = 22.4 L per mole at 1 atm, 273 K
<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

0.07 mol Ne (g)

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

STP - 22.4 L per mole

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

  1. Set up:                                \displaystyle 0.07 \ mol \ Ne(\frac{22.4 \ L \ Ne}{1 \ mol \ Ne})
  2. Multiply:                              \displaystyle 1.568 \ L \ Ne

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 1 sig fig.</em>

1.568 L Ne ≈ 2 L Ne
