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!

What is the velocity of a rocket that goes 700 km north in 25 second
Dmitrij [34]

Answer: 28000m/s

Explanation:

Displacement = 700 km due north = 700000m

Time = 25secs

Velocity =?

Velocity = Displacement / Time

V = 700000 / 25 = 28000m/s

Which metal is more active than H2?<br> (1) Ag (3) Cu<br> (2) Au (4) Pb
astraxan [27]

Answer is (4) - Pb.


According to the reactivity series of elements

- the elements which are above the hydrogen are more reactive than hydrogen.

- the elements which are below the hydrogen are less reactive than hydrogen.


Among the given choices, only Pb is placed above the hydrogen in the reactivity series and rest are below the hydrogen.


Hence, Pb is more active than hydrogen.

How many particles are in 23 g of H 2 O?
Sedaia [141]
1 mole of any substance contains 6.022 × 1023 particles.

⚛ 6.022 × 1023 is known as the Avogadro Number or Avogadro Constant and is given the symbol NA

N = n × NA

· N = number of particles in the substance

· n = amount of substance in moles (mol)

· NA = Avogardro Number = 6.022 × 10^23 particles mol-1


For H2O we have:

2 H at 1.0 each = 2.0 amu
1 O at 16.0 each = 16.0 amu
Total for H2O = 18.0 amu, or grams/mole

It takes 18 grams of H2O to obtain 1 mole, or 6.02 x 1023 molecules of water. Think about that before we answer the question. We have 25.0 grams of water, so we have more than one mole of water molecules. To find the exact number, divide the available mass (25.0g) by the molar mass (18.0g/mole). Watch how the units work out. The grams cancel and moles moves to the top, leaving moles of water. [g/(g/mole) = moles].

Here we have 25.0 g/(18.0g/mole) = 1.39 moles water (3 sig figs).

Multiply 1.39 moles times the definition of a mole to arrive at the actual number of water molecules:

1.39 (moles water) * 6.02 x 1023 molecules water/(mole water) = 8.36 x 1023 molecules water.

That's slightly above Avogadro's number, which is what we expected. Keeping the units in the calculations is annoying, I know, but it helps guide the operations and if you wind up with the unit desired, there is a good chance you've done the problem correctly.

N = n × (6.022 × 10^23)


1 grams H2O is equal to 0.055508435061792 mol.

Then 23 g of H2O is 1.2767 mol


To calculate the number of particles, N, in a substance:

N = n × NA

N = 1.2767 × (6.022 × 10^23)

N= 176.26

N=
