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!

The normal boiling point of ethanol is 78.4 °C and 101.3 KPa. The heat of vaporization for ethanol is 42.32 kJ/mol. Determine th
Mandarinka [93]

Answer:

6.1×10^4Pa or 61KPa

Explanation:

The Clausius-Clapeyron equation is used to estimate the vapour pressure at different temperature, once the enthalpy of vaporization and the vapor pressure at another temperature is given in the question. The detailed solution is shown in the image attached. The temperatures were converted to kelvin and the energy value was converted from kilojoule to joule since the value of the gas constant was given in unit of joule per mole per kelvin. The fact that lnx=2.303logx was also applied in the solution.

How many double bonds are in lewis structure of oxygen difluoride, OF2? 1,0, 2, or 3​
solmaris [256]

Answer:

0

Explanation:

An image of the lewis structure of the compound OF2 is shown in the image attached.

A Lewis structure is a structure in which electron pairs on atoms are shown as dots. Sometimes shared electron pairs are shown by a horizontal straight line connecting the two atoms involved.

OF2 has no double bonds as shown in its structure. It is a compound containing only two O-F sigma bonds and no pi-bonds.
