Answer:(4) ----accepts a proton

Explanation:

H2O water can produce both hydrogen and hydroxide ions

H2O --> H+ + OH-

According to the Bronsted-Lowry theory, it can be a proton donor and a proton acceptor.this means that It can donate a hydrogen ion to become its conjugate base, or can accept a hydrogen ion to form its conjugate acid,

When , a water molecule, H2O accepts a proton it will act as a Brønsted-Lowry base especially when dissolved in a strong acidic medium. for eg

HCl + H2O(l) → H3O+(aq) + Cl−(aq)

Here, Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid and ionizes completely in water, since it is more acidic than water, the water will act as a base.

A chemical reaction involves reactant species A, B, and C. Leaving all other factors identical, doubling the concentration of sp

umka21 [38]

Answer:

Rate = k . [B]² . [C]

Explanation:

The dependence of the reaction rate on the concentration of the reactants is given by the reaction order of each one, as shown in the rate equation.

$Rate=k.[A]^{x} .[B]^{y} .[C]^{z}$

where,

k is the rate constant

x, y, z are the reaction orders.

The rate of reaction is not affected by changing the concentration of species A. This means that the reaction order for A is x = 0 since when its concentration changes, the rate stays the same.

Leaving all other factors identical, doubling the concentration of species B increases the rate by a factor of 4. This means that the reaction order for B is y = 2, so when the concentration is doubled, the new rate is 2² = 4 times the initial rate.

The rate of the reaction is linearly dependent on the concentration of C. This means that the reaction order for C is z = 1, that is, a linear dependence.

All in all, the rate equation is:

Rate = k . [B]² . [C]

Which reactants would lead to a spontaneous reaction?

balandron [24]

Answer: Option (b) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The elements which have excess or deficiency of electrons will react readily.

Atomic number of Mn is 25 and electronic configuration of $Mn^{2+}$ is [Ar] $4s^{0}3d^{5}$ . This configuration is stable.

Atomic number of Cr is 24 and electronic configuration of $Cr$ is [Ar] $4s^{1}3d^{5}$ . This configuration is not stable.

Atomic number of Fe is 26 and electronic configuration of $Fe$ is [Ar] $4s^{2}3d^{6}$ . This configuration is stable.

Atomic number of Cu is 29 and electronic configuration of $Cu^{2+}$ is [Ar] $4s^{0}3d^{9}$ . This configuration is not stable.

Atomic number of Al is 13 and electronic configuration of Al is $1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}3s^{2}3p^{1}$ . This configuration is not stable.

Atomic number of Ba is 56 and electronic configuration of $Ba^{2+}$ is [Kr] $4d^{10}5s^{2}5p^{6}$ . This configuration is stable.

Atomic number of Mg is 12 and electronic configuration of $Mg^{2+}$ is $1s^{2}2s^{2}2p^{6}$ . This configuration is stable.

Atomic number of Sn is 50 and electronic configuration of Sn is [Kr] $4d^{10}5s^{2}5p^{2}$ . This configuration is stable.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options, only Fe and $Cu^{2+}$ reactants would lead to a spontaneous reaction as they have incomplete sub-shells. Therefore, in order to gain stability they will readily react.
