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!

kakasveta [241]

Answer:

1) SO₄ ²⁻ : (+6)

  H₂S : (-2)

Explanation:

a) <u>Sulfate reducers</u> are widespread in muds and other sediments, water-logged soils, etc., environments that contain SO₄ ²⁻ and become anoxic as a result of microbial decomposition.

Sulfate (SO₄ ²⁻), the most oxidized form of sulfur (+6), <u>is reduced</u> by these

sulfate-reducing bacteria. The end product of sulfate reduction is hydrogen sulfide, H₂S, (oxidation number -2) an important natural product that participates in many biogeochemical processes. The H₂S they generate is responsible for the pungent smell (like that of rotten eggs) often encountered near coastal ecosystems. When sulfate-reducing bacteria grow, the H₂S formed from SO₄ ²⁻ reduction combines with the ferrous iron to form black, insoluble ferrous sulfide, which is not toxic. This is important for the conservation of the environment.

b) The net ionic equation under acidic conditions is:

              4 H₂ + SO₄²⁻ + H⁺ → HS⁻ + 4 H₂O

    Global reaction:  SO₄²⁻ + 2H⁺ → H₂S + O₂

Olivia bought new gym shoes to play volleyball because she kept slipping when she ran in her old shoes. How will the new soles h
HACTEHA [7]
Maybe her old shoes had soft worn out bottoms and she slips in them. So her new shoes had more grip than her old ones so they kept her from falling.

Consider the rate law below.
Serga [27]

C. quadruples the rate

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

The rate law :

R=k[A]²

Required

The rate

Solution

There are several factors that influence reaction kinetics :  

  • 1. Concentration  
  • 2. Surface area  
  • 3. Temperature  
  • 4. Catalyst  
  • 5. Pressure  
  • 6. Stirring  

The rate is proportional to the concentration.

If the concentration increased, the reaction rate will increase

The reaction is second-order overall(The exponent is 2)

The concentration of A is doubled, the reaction rate will increase :

r = k[A]² ⇒ r= k[2A]²⇒r=4k[A]²

<em>The reaction rate will quadruple.</em>

Calculate the frequency of radiation with a wavelength of 1.08 x 10^-6 m. simple explanation please​
pishuonlain [190]
C = vf
c stands for the speed of waves (which is a constant that is 3 x 10^8)
v stands for the wavelength (which is given)
f stands for frequency (what we are solving for)
3 x 10^8 = (1.08 x 10^-6)f
Divide both sides by the given wavelength
f = 2.78 * 10^14 seconds

Suppose you have a 2.0 molar solution of sodium hydroxide (naoh), and you need 65 ml of 0.6 molar naoh. how should you make this
nalin [4]

The given molarity of sodium hydroxide solution = 2.0 M

The required concentration of sodium hydroxide is 65 mL of 0.6 M NaOH

Converting 65 mL to L:

65mL*\frac{1L}{1000mL} =0.065L

Calculating the moles of NaOH in the final solution:

0.065L * \frac{0.6 mol}{L} =0.039mol

Finding out the volume of 2.0 M solution taken to prepare the final solution:

0.039 mol * \frac{1L}{2.0mol}=0.0195L*\frac{1000mL}{1L} =19.5mL

Therefore, 19.5 mL of 2.0 M NaOH solution and make it up to 65 mL to prepare 0.6 M NaOH solution.
