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).

leva [86]
Here's the equation:
<span>Fe2 O3 + 2Al → 2Fe + Al2 O3 
</span>
Here's the question.
What mass of Al will react with 150g of Fe2 O3? 

<span>In every 2 moles Al you need 1 mole Fe2O3 </span>

<span>moles = mass / molar mass </span>
<span>moles Fe2O3 = 150 g / 159.69 g/mol </span>
<span>= 0.9393 moles </span>

<span>moles Al needed = 2 x moles Fe2O3 </span>
<span>= 2 x 0.9393 mol </span>
<span>= 1.879 moles Al needed </span>

<span>mass = molar mass x moles </span>
<span>mass Al = 26.98 g/mol x 1.879 mol </span>
<span>= 50.69 g </span>
<span>= 51 g (2 sig figs) 
</span>
So the <span>mass of Al that will react with 150g of Fe2 O3 is 51 grams.</span>
