Answer : A substance that can donate a pair of electrons to form a covalent bond is known as a(n) Lewis-base.

Explanation :

According to the Lewis acid-base theory,

Lewis acid : It is a substance that can accepts pairs of electrons to form a covalent bond.

Lewis-base : It is a substance that can donates pairs of electrons to form a covalent bond.

For example :

$H^++OH^-\rightarrow H_2O$

In this reaction, $H^+$ ion is Lewis-acid and $OH^-$ ion is a Lewis-base. The $OH^-$ ion donates electrons to $H^+$ ion to form $H_2O$ .

Hence, a substance that can donate a pair of electrons to form a covalent bond is known as a(n) Lewis-base.

A substance that can donate a pair of electrons to form a covalent bond is known as a Lewis base. It is any substance that can donate a pair of nonbonding electrons. The Lewis theory suggests that acids react with bases to share a pair of electrons with no change of oxidation numbers of any atoms.

15. transition metals has ____ valence electrons

Gemiola [76]

2 valence electrons

Explanation:

Most transition metals have 2 valence electrons. Valence electrons are the sum total of all the electrons in the highest energy level (principal quantum number n). Most transition metals have an electron configuration that is ns2(n−1)d , so those ns2 electrons are the valence electrons.

What volume (L) of 0.250 M HNO3 is required to neutralize a solution prepared by dissolving 17.5 g of NaOH in 350 mL of water ?

IRINA_888 [86]

<h3>Answer:</h3>

1.75 L HNO₃

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

We are given;

Molarity of HNO₃ as 0.250 M

Mass of NaOH as 17.5 g

Volume of NaOH = 350 mL

We are required to calculate the volume of 0.250 M

We are going to first write the balanced reaction:

NaOH(aq) + HNO₃(aq) → NaNO₃(aq) + H₂O(l)

Then, we calculate the number of moles of NaOH

Moles = Mass ÷ Molar mass

Molar mass of NaOH = 39.997 g/mol

= 17.5 g ÷ 39.997 g/mol

= 0.4375 moles

We can now calculate the number of moles of HNO₃ using the mole ratio from the equation;

Mole ratio of NaOH to HNO₃ is 1 : 1

Therefore, if moles of NaOH are 0.4375 moles then;

Moles of HNO₃ will also be 0.4375 moles

We can now calculate the volume of HNO₃

Morality = Number of moles ÷ Volume

Thus;

Volume = Number of moles ÷ Molarity

= 0.4375 moles ÷ 0.250 M

= 1.75 L

Therefore, the volume of HNO₃ is 1.75 L

Zinc metal (Zn) will react with aqueous hydrochloric acid (HCI aq) to produce aqueous zinc chloride (ZnCl2 aq) and hydrogen gas

Debora [2.8K]

Answer:

$5$

Explanation:

Here, we want to get the equation of the reaction between Hydrochloric acid and Zinc metal

Zinc metal displaces the hydrogen from hydrochloric acid to form zinc chloride

We have the equation of reaction as:

$2HCl_{(aq)}\text{ + Zn}_{(s)}\text{ }\rightarrow\text{ ZnCl}_{2(aq)}\text{ + H}_{2(g)}$
