Anwer: the first option, a hydrogen ion acceptor.

The acid-base model of Bronsted-Lowry is focused on hydrogen ion. An acid is a donor of hydrogen ions and a base is a receptor of hydrogen ions.

\boxed{{\text{A hydrogen ion accept or}}} describes a Bronsted-Lowry base.

Further Explanation:

Different theories have definitions of acids and bases. These theories are as follows:

1. Arrhenius theory: According to this theory, acid produces hydrogen or hydronium ions in a solution, while the base produces hydroxide ions in a solution. HCl, {\text{HN}}{{\text{O}}_3} and  {{\text{H}}_2}{\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_4} are Arrhenius acids while NaOH and KOH are the examples of Arrhenius bases.

2. Bronsted-Lowry theory: This theory defines acid as the proton or hydrogen ion donor and base as the proton or hydrogen ion acceptor. {{\text{H}}_2}{\text{O}} acts as Bronsted acid while {\text{N}}{{\text{H}}_3} is a Bronsted base.

3. Lewis theory: According to this theory, an acid accepts a pair of electrons from electron-rich species while a base donates electrons to electron-deficient species in the reaction. Examples of Lewis acids are {\text{B}}{{\text{F}}_3}, {\text{S}}{{\text{O}}_3} while {{\text{H}}_2}{\text{O}} and ROH are the examples of Lewis base.

A hydrogen ion acceptor

According to Bronsted-Lowry theory, Bronsted-Lowry base is the species that accepts protons or hydrogen ions. So this is incorrect.

An electron pair donor

A compound that donates an electron pair act as Lewis base, not Bronsted-Lowry base. So this is incorrect.

An electron pair acceptor

A compound that accepts an electron pair act as Lewis acid, not Bronsted-Lowry base. So this is incorrect.

A hydrogen ion donor

According to Bronsted-Lowry theory, the species that donates protons or hydrogen ions is known as Bronsted-Lowry acid, not base. So this is incorrect

Can someone help me with number 1 and 2 plz!
GalinKa [24]

Answer:

1) 0 N

2) 8 N

Explanation:

The net force is the sum of all of the forces acting on the object.

For question 1, we can see that there is a force of 5 N acting to the right and 5 N acting to the left.  If we define the right to be positive and the left to be negative, then the net force equals:

Fnet = 5N - 5N = 0 N

Therefore, the net force in question 1 is 0 N.

For question 2, the process is very similar.  We want to find the sum of the forces acting on the object.  In this case, there are forces of 3 N and 5 N acting to the right.

Fnet = 3 N + 5 N = 8 N

Therefore, the net force in question 2 is 8 N.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

<h3>25.0 grams is the mass of the steel bar.</h3>

Explanation:

Heat gained by steel bar will be equal to heat lost by the water

Q_1=-Q_2

Mass of steel= m_1

Specific heat capacity of steel = c_1=0.452 J/g^oC

Initial temperature of the steel = T_1=2.00^oC

Final temperature of the steel = T_2=T=21.50^oC

Q_1=m_1c_1\times (T-T_1)

Mass of water= m_2= 105 g

Specific heat capacity of water=c_2=4.18 J/g^oC

Initial temperature of the water = T_3=22.00^oC

Final temperature of water = T_2=T=21.50^oC

Q_2=m_2c_2\times (T-T_3)-Q_1=Q_2(m_1c_1\times (T-T_1))=-(m_2c_2\times (T-T_3))

On substituting all values:

(m_1\times 0.452 J/g^oC\times (21.50^o-2.00^oC))=-(105 g\times 4.18 J/g^oC\times (21.50^o-22.00^o))\\\\m_1*8.7914=241.395\\\\m_1=\frac{219.45}{8.7914} \\\\m_1=24.9\\\\ \approx25 \texttt {grams}

<h3>25.0 grams is the mass of the steel bar.</h3>
