<span>Dried fruits and raisins get terribly soggy after being drenched in milk for a long period of time. They act like a sponge, absorbing all of the milk up making them wet and "soggy". I prefer them to be like that when I eat my cereal in the morning.</span>
A base generally releases a hydroxide ion (OH-) when dissolved in water.
There are exceptions, such as ammonia NH3, which acts as a base but does not produce OH- ions. There are three definitions of acids and bases (Arrhenius, Bronsted-Lowry, and Lewis) and each one looks at acid/base characteristics differently. OH- donation is the Arrhenius definition.
<u>Answer:</u> The true statement is iron can reduce
to gold metal
<u>Explanation:</u>
Single displacement reaction is defined as the reaction in which more reactive element displaces a less reactive element from its chemical reaction.
The reactivity of metal is determined by a series known as reactivity series. The metals lying above in the series are more reactive than the metals which lie below in the series.

Metal A is more reactive than metal B.
We are given:
Iron can reduce copper, silver can reduce gold, sodium can reduce iron and copper can reduce silver metal.
The increasing order of reactivity thus follows:

where, sodium is most reactive and gold is least reactive
For the given options:
<u>Option 1:</u> Copper cannot easily reduce sodium ion to sodium metal because it is less reactive.

<u>Option 2:</u> Iron cant easily reduce gold ion to gold metal because it is more reactive.

<u>Option 3:</u> Silver cannot easily reduce iron ion to iron metal because it is less reactive.

Hence, the true statement is iron can reduce
to gold metal
Answer:
1) correct
2) incorrect
3) correct
4)incorrect
Explanation:
1) A Lewis acid is a substance that accepts a nonbonding pair of electrons.
A Bronsted-Lowry acid is a substance that donates a proton H⁺
Since the donation of a proton involves the acceptance of a pair of electrons, every Bronsted-Lowry acid is also a Lewis acid.
2)A Lewis acid not necessarily needs to have a proton to be donated.
3) Conjugated acids of weak bases are strong acids and conjugated acids of strong bases are weak acids.
4)K⁺ comes from a strong base, therefore is does not have an acidic behaviour.
