HNO3 + H2O → H3O^+ + NO3 which ones are acids and which ones are bases

Chemistry
1 answer:
nlexa [21]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

  • HNO₃ and  H₃O⁺ are acids
  • H₂O and  NO₃⁻ are bases

Explanation:

The chemical equation is:

  • HNO₃ + H₂O → H₃O⁺ + NO₃⁻

There are several definitions of acid and bases: Arrhenius', Bronsted-Lowry's and Lewis'.

Bronsted-Lowry model defines and <em>acid</em> as a donor of protons, H⁺.

In the given equation HNO₃ is such substance: it releases an donates its hdyrogen to form the H₃O⁺ ion.

On the other hand, a <em>base</em> is a substance that accepts protons.

In the reaction shown, H₂O accepts the proton from HNO₃ to form H₃O⁺.

Thus, H₂O is a base.

In turn, on the reactant sides the substances can be classified as acids or bases.

H₃O⁺ contain an hydrogen that can be donated and form H₂O; thus, it is an acid (the conjugated acid), and NO₃⁻ can accept a proton to form HNO₃; thus it is a base (the conjugated base).

Write a balanced nuclear reaction for the following:
Andru [333]
<span>Balanced nuclear reaction: 234/91 Pa → 4/2 He + 230/89 Ac.
1) number of protons and neutrons on both side of nuclear reaction must be the same. There are 91 protons (atomic number) and 143 neutrons (mass number - atomic number, 234 - 91 = 143 or (4-2) + (230 - 89) = 143)) on both side of reaction.
2) a</span>lpha decay is radioactive decay<span> in which an atomic nucleus emits an alpha particle (helium nucleus) and transforms into an atom with an atomic number that is reduced by two and mass number that is reduced by four, so atomic mass of new element is 89 (91 - 2) and mass number is 230 (234 - 4 = 230).
3) look at atomic number, element with atomic number 89 is actinium.</span>

My made-up polyatomic ion goldate acts a lot like chlorate (it has the same charge and the same number of oxygens). What would t
Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

d. Pergoldic acid

Explanation:

chlorate = ClO₃⁻

Goldate GoO₃⁻

On this basis we can infer that HClO₄ and HGoO₄ will be similar .

HClO₄ is called perchloric acid , hence HGoO₄ will be called pergoldic acid.

Calculate the standard cell potential given the following standard reduction potentials: Al3++3e−→Al;E∘=−1.66 V Cu2++2e−→Cu;E∘=0
Maru [420]

Answer:

Explanation:

To calculate the cell potential we use the relation:

Eº cell = Eº oxidation + Eº reduction

Now in order to determine which of the species is going to be oxidized, we have to remember that the more the value of the reduction potential is negative,  the greater its tendency to be oxidized is. In electrochemistry we use the values of the reductions potential in the tables for simplicity  because the only thing we need to do is change the sign of the reduction potential for the oxized species .

So the species that is going to be oxidized is the Aluminium, and therefore:

Eº cell = -( -1.66 V ) + 0.340 V =  5.06 V

Equally valid is to write the equation as:

Eº cell = Eº reduction for the reduced species - Eº reduction for the oxidized species

These two expressions are equivalent, choose the one you fell more comfortable but be careful with the signs.
