What is a common use of bases?

Chemistry
2 answers:
sattari [20]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Bases are the substances whose solutions has pH value more than 7. Bases are bitter in taste.

Whereas acids are the substances whose solutions have pH value less than 7. Acids are sour in taste.

When excess of acid is formed in the human stomach then an antacid tablet which is basically a base is consumed that helps in reducing the indigestion.

Therefore, we can conclude that a common use of bases is to reduce indigestion.

HELP! Ethanol has a density of 0.8 g/cm3. a. What is the mass of 225 cm3 of ethanol? b. What is the volume of 75.0 g of ethanol?
IRINA_888 [86]

Answer:

The correct answers are:

a) 180 g

b) 93.7 cm³

Explanation:

The density of a substance is the mass of the substance per unit of volume. So, it is calculated as follows:

density= mass/volume

From the data provided in the problem:

density = 0.8 g/cm³

a) Given: volume= 225 cm³

mass= density x volume = 0.8 g/cm³ x 225 cm³ = 180 g

b) Given: mass= 75.0 g

volume = mass/density = 75.0 g/(0.8 g/cm³)= 93.75 cm³≅ 93.7 cm³

I need help with this
lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

Fossils are the some traces or portions of the animals or plants, buried and preserved from past in rocks, sediments or ice.

Explanation:

                                  Correct match  is as follows-

  1. Mold and cast fossils-  An organism is buried in sediment after it dies.The hard part of organism leave behind a empty space imprinted in the rock. Later sediments and minerals fill the space and harden to make the original copy of the organisms.
  2. Carbon film fossils- An organism buried in sediments gets squeezed and heated inside the earth , leaving behind a thin carbon outline of the organism on a rock.
  3. Amber fossil-  An organism covered in tree resin or tree sap , which then hardens with the body of the organisms preserved inside.
  4. Ice fossil- An organism dies in a cold place on earth , its body becomes frozen and covered in layers of ice . The hard and soft part of the body may be preserved.

Chemical Reactions

Chemical changes take place when molecules or elements interact with other elements or molecules to form new chemical compounds. In order for a reaction to take place between molecules and or atoms, these molecules must come into contact with each other.

An example of a chemical reaction can be shown by the reaction of ammonia with hydrogen chloride to form ammonium chloride.  This reaction is usually shown by a shorthand method called a chemical equation. The chemical equation for this reaction is...

NH3   +   HCl   �   NH4Cl

This equation does not clearly show what has happened. In order for these two molecules to react, the pair of electrons on nitrogen must collide with the hydrogen atom of the hydrogen chloride on the side exactly opposite of the chlorine atom. 

This collision must not only be precise as to the angle of the collision, it must have enough energy to break the bond between the hydrogen atom and the chlorine atom and form a new bond between the hydrogen atom and the nitrogen atom. Energy is released when a bond is formed. If all of these requirements are met, a reaction occurs forming a new compound.



The rate of a chemical reaction depends on all of the above factors.  The reaction rate is measured by the change in concentration of one of the reactants or products over a measured period of time.

If some reaction condition is changed, the reaction rate will be changed.

Reaction coordinate diagrams are used to visualize the energy changes in chemical reactions. Some initial energy must be applied to any reaction in order to get the reaction started. This energy is called the energy of activation Ea.

If a reaction releases more energy than it takes to keep it going, it is called an exothermic reaction.



If a reaction requires a constant application of energy to keep it going, it is called an endothermic reaction.



A catalyst is something that, when added to a chemicalreaction, will increase the reaction rate without undergoing a permanent change.  Although it appears that only Ea is lowered for a catalyzed reaction, the actual reaction pathway must change due to the involvement of the catalyst with the reactants. The energy released for the reaction remains the same. Catalysts are used extensively in biochemical reactions in order to decrease the energy demands for the animal or plant.



Matter can neither be gained nor lost in a chemical reaction. The number and type of atoms in the reactants must exactly equal the number and types of atoms in the products. The arrangement of the atoms will be different because new compounds are formed. Therefore, we must balance chemical equations with respect to the numbers of all of the atoms that are involved in the reaction.

Why is n-hexanol is not soluble in H2O​
sdas [7]

Answer:

Ethanol is soluble in water because it has a hydroxyl group which allows it to form hydrogen bonds with the water molecules. This is why hexanol is not soluble in water.
