Answer:

Water acts as a Brønsted-Lowry Base.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, for the theories describing acids, we say that a Brønsted-Lowry Acid is such substance which is able to donate a H⁺ and a Brønsted-Lowry base is such substance which is able to accept a donated H⁺.

In such a way, since hydronium (H₃O⁺) is a product, meaning that water received one H⁺, we conclude water is acting as a Brønsted-Lowry base. Moreover, ammonium ion acts as Brønsted-Lowry Acid.

Best regards.

Zinc will displace copper from a solution of copper sulfate, and magnesium will displace zinc from a solution of zinc sulfate. W
Anna [14]

Answer:

The displacement reactions are regarded as redox reactions because they involve the formal transfer of electrons from one chemical specie to the other

2) The series of reactivity of the metals in the order of increasing reactivity are;

  • Copper

           ↓

  • Zinc

           ↓

  • Magnesium

Explanation:

1) Redox (oxidation-reduction) reaction is a chemical reaction involving the loss and gain of electrons from one chemical species to another, where the chemical species that undergoes oxidation, loses electrons and is termed the reducing agent, while the other chemical species that undergoes reduction, gains electrons, and is termed the oxidizing agent

2) The redox reaction can being based on the affinity for electrons depends on the positions of the reactants in the electrochemical series as well as the chemical reactivity of the metals with zinc being a stronger reducing agent and more chemically reactive than copper and magnesium being a stronger reducing agent and more chemically reactive than zinc

Least  reactive (Cu)  <     (Zn)        < Mg Most reactive

Copper                     <      Zinc       < Magnesium.

Carbon dioxide (CO2) is a gaseous compound. Calculate the percent composition of this compound. Answer using three significant f
Tamiku [17]

Carbon dioxide is a gaseous molecule made up of the elements, C and O. Each mole of carbon dioxide has one mole C and two mole oxygen atoms.

Molar mass of carbon dioxide (CO_{2})=(1 * 12.01\frac{g}{mol}) +(2* 16\frac{g}{mol})=44.01\frac{g}{mol}

Percentage by mass of carbon = \frac{(1*12.01\frac{g}{mol}) }{44.01\frac{g}{mol} } *100=27.3%

Percentage by mass of oxygen = \frac{(2*16\frac{g}{mol})}{44.01\frac{g}{mol} } *100=72.7%

Therefore C is 27.3 % and O is 72.7 % by mass in 1 mol CO_{2}

Zinc sulfate is a 2-ion electrolyte,
Gekata [30.6K]

<u>Answer:</u> The value of <em>i</em> is 1.4 and 40% dissociation of 100 particles of zinc sulfate will yield 60 undissociated particles.

<u>Explanation:</u>

The equation used to calculate the Vant' Hoff factor in dissociation follows:

\alpha =\frac{i-1}{n-1}

where,

\alpha = degree of dissociation = 40% = 0.40

i = Vant' Hoff factor

n = number of ions dissociated = 2

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.40=\frac{i-1}{2-1}\\\\0.40=i-1\\\\i=1.4

The equation used to calculate the degee of dissociation follows:

\alpha =\frac{\text{Number of particles dissociated}}{\text{Total number of particles taken}}

Total number of particles taken = 100

Degree of dissociation = 40% = 0.40

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.40=\frac{\text{Number of particles dissociated}}{100}\\\\\text{Number of particles dissociated}=(0.40\times 100)=40

This means that 40 particles are dissociated and 60 particles remain undissociated in the solution.

Hence, 40% dissociation of 100 particles of zinc sulfate will yield 60 undissociated particles.
