In a lab, silver nitrate,AgNO₃, is dissolved in water until no solid is observed in the container. Then, a solution of sodium ch
leva [86]

Answer:

The answer to your question is: A, C, E

Explanation:

After reading the information given, we can conclude that both reactants react to form a new solid product and another product that do not precipitate.

The reaction is:

                         AgNO₃ + NaCl   ⇒      AgCl  +  NaNO₃

a. Formation of a solid indicates that a chemical reaction occurred  This option is correct, precipitation indicates that a changed occurred in the solution due to a chemical reaction.

b. The initial disappearance of silver nitrate in water indicates a chemical reaction occurred  No, what is happing is that silver nitrate is dissolving in water, this process is a physical change because matter do not change its nature.

c. The color change of the solution indicates a chemical reaction occurred  This option is true, when a color appears suggest the formation of a new product.

d. A chemical reaction occurred when silver nitrate was added to water

This option is not correct, in this process silver nitrate is dissolving in water but it is not a chemical reaction because matter does not change is nature.

e. A chemical reaction occurred when the solutions were combined  This option is true because silver nitrate and sodium chloride react to form a new product (solid formation and change in color).

f. The lack of temperature change indicates a chemical reaction didn't occur This is false, some reactions do not need a change of color to happen.

Can the pH scale be utilized for all acids (Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowry, and Lewis)? Give examples of substances from each definit
CaHeK987 [17]

Answer:

No

Explanation:

The pH scale is a scale graduated from 0-14 which shows the degree of acidity of alkalinity of a substance. The pH scale is graduated in such a way that 0-6.9 indicates acidity, 7.0 indicate a neutral substance, while a pH of 8-14 indicates alkalinity respectively.

There are three main definitions of acids/bases

- Arrhenius definition

-Brownstead-Lowry definition

-Lewis definition

Arrhenius explains acids as any substance that produces hydrogen ions as its only positive ion in solution while a base produces hydroxide ions as its only negative ion in solution. The pH scale is based on corresponding values of pH derived from aqueous solutions of these substances.

However, not all acids/bases produces hydrogen or hydroxide ions in solution. Brownstead-Lowry definition of acids and Lewis definition of acids could be extended to nonaqueous media where the pH can not be measured as there are no hydrogen or hydroxide ions present in the solution.

This implies that pH measurement may not apply to acids/bases in the all the categories of acids/bases hence it can not be utilized for all acids and bases.

Arrhenius - sodium carbonate

Brownstead-Lowry - concentrated HF

Lewis acid - AlCl3
