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!

If the distance between a point charge and a neutral atom and is multiplied by a factor of 5, by what factor does the force on t
dexar [7]

Given :

The distance between a point charge and a neutral atom and is multiplied by a factor of 5.

To Find :

By what factor does the force on the neutral atom by the point charge change.

Solution :

We know, electrostatic force between two object is directly proportional to product of charge and inversely proportional to distance between them.

Now, charge in neutral atom is 0 C.

So, the electrostatic force between two of them is also 0 N.

Therefore, by changing distance between the charge the forces did no change ( it remains zero).

A 8L sample of gas at 250 K is cooled to 75 K. What is the volume of the gas after it is cooled?
Stells [14]

by \: Charles'\: law: \:  \\  \frac{v_{1}}{t_{1}}  =  \frac{v_{2}}{t_{2}}  \\

Where v is the volume(in L) and t is the temperature(in °K)

\frac{8}{250}  =  \frac{v_{2}}{75} \\\\4/5 =v_2/3 \\\\\boxed{v_{2} = \frac{12}{5}}\\\\\\\huge{=2.5 l}

Why is using only clean glassware important?
stealth61 [152]

Good laboratory technique demands clean glassware because the most carefully executed piece of work may give an erroneous result if dirty glassware is used. In all instances, glassware must be physically and chemically clean and in many cases, it must be bacteriologic-ally clean or sterile.

Which of the following is a precipitation reaction?
erik [133]

Answer:

The precipitated are option a and d.

Explanation:

2 LiI(aq) +Hg2(NO3)2(aq)  →  Hg2I2(s) ↓ + 2 LiNO3(aq)

Cation Hg2+ 2 in the presence of iodide,  a precipitated  is formed.

Zn(s) + 2AgNO3(aq) → 2 Ag(s) ↓ +Zn(NO3)2(aq)

Zinc starts to get rid, and some white particles also stick to it. Afterwards the solution becomes cloudy and a precipitate appears, which is the solid silver
