Chemistry

6 0

Answer:

The first element in the periodic table is hydrogen.

Explanation:

Hydrogen has an atomic number of one, making it the first element of the periodic table. The atomic number of an element is just the number of protons in the nucleus, so hydrogen has one proton. The neutrons and electrons do not affect the atomic number. After hydrogen with one proton comes helium with two, lithium with three, beryllium with four, and so on.

Which of the following pairs lists a substance that can neutralize H2SO4 and the salt that would be produced from the reaction?
Bogdan [553]

The second option only.

  • LiOH, Li₂SO₄.
<h3>Explanation</h3>

A base neutralizes an acid when the two reacts to produce water and a salt.

Sulfuric acid H₂SO₄ is the acid here. There are more than one classes of bases that can neutralize H₂SO₄. Among the options, there are:

Metal hydroxides

  • Ca(OH)₂ and
  • LiOH.

Metal hydroxides react with sulfuric acid to produce water and the sulfate salt of the metal.

\text{Ca}(\text{OH})_{\bf 2}+\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \to \textbf{Ca}\textbf{SO}_{\bf 4} +{\bf 2}\;\text{H}_2\text{O}.

The formula for calcium sulfate \text{CaSO}_4 in option A is spelled incorrectly. Why? The charge on each calcium \text{Ca}^{2+} is +2. The charge on each sulfate ion {\text{SO}_4}^{2-} is -2. Unlike \text{Li}^{+} ions, it takes only one \text{Ca}^{2+} ion to balance the charge on each {\text{SO}_4}^{2-} ion. As a result, \text{Ca}^{2+} and {\text{SO}_4}^{2-} ions in calcium sulfate exist on a 1:1 ratio.

2\;\text{LiOH} +\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \to \text{Li}_2\text{SO}_4 + 2\;\text{H}_2\text{O}.

Ammonia, NH₃

Ammonia NH₃ can also act as a base and neutralize acids. NH₃ exists as NH₄OH in water:

\text{NH}_3 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \to \textbf{NH}_{\bf 4}\text{OH}.

The ion {\text{NH}_4}^{+} acts like a metal cation. Similarly to the metal hydroxides, NH₃ (or NH₄OH) neutralizes H₂SO₄ to produce water and a salt:

2\;\textbf{NH}_{\bf 4}\text{OH}+ \text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \to (\textbf{NH}_{\bf 4})_2\text{SO}_4+2\;\text{H}_2\text{O}.

The formula of the salt (NH₄)₂SO₄ in the fourth option spelled the ammonium ion incorrectly.

As part of the salt (NH₄)₂SO₄, the ammonium ion NH₄⁺ is one of the products of this reaction and can't neutralize H₂SO₄ any further.

DochEvi [55]

Well, I think it's mainly for photosynthesis and gas exchange. A leaf is normally flat, light, and thin, so that the sunlight can get to the chloroplasts in the cells.
