An Arrhenius acid by definition dissociates in water to form H3O+ (or H+) ions while an arrhenius base dissociates in water to form OH- ions.

NH4+(aq) can be categorised as an arrhenius acid since it releases H3O+ ions in aqueous media

NH4+(aq) + H2O (aq) ↔ NH3 (aq) + H3O+(aq)

Answer:

NH₄⁺ will act as acid according to the arrhenius definition.

NH₄⁺ will not act as a base according to the arrhenius definition.

Explanation:

According to the Arrhenius Acid-Base Theory, acids are those substances that dissolved in water divide by generating H⁺ together with an anion (ion with a negative charge). In an aqueous solution, the H⁺ protons react immediately with the water molecules to form H₃O⁺ hydronium ions. A base, on the contrary, according to this theory, is a substance that releases OH- ions in aqueous solution.

This theory is valid only in aqueous medium. And it does not consider non-protic acids (without the presence of H⁺), which are unable to release hydrogen ions, or dehydroxylated bases (they are OH- ions in their structure), unable to release OH- hydroxyl ions.

NH₄⁺ will act as acid because it has an H⁺ proton that can be released into the aqueous solution by:

NH₄⁺(aq) + H₂O (aq) ↔ NH₃ (aq) + H₃O⁺(aq)

NH₄⁺ will not act as a base because it does not have hydroxide ions that can be released into the aqueous medium.

How many grams of NH3 can be produced from 2.30 mol of N2 and excess H2.
MrRa [10]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

78.34 g

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

From the question we are given;

Moles of Nitrogen gas as 2.3 moles

we are required to calculate the mass of NH₃ that may be reproduced.

<h3>Step 1: Writing the balanced equation for the reaction </h3>

The Balanced equation for the reaction is;

   N₂(g) + 3H₂(g) → 2NH₃(g)

<h3>Step 2: Calculating the number of moles of NH₃</h3>

From the equation 1 mole of nitrogen gas reacts to produce 2 moles of NH₃

Therefore, the mole ratio of N₂ to NH₃ is 1 : 2

Thus, Moles of NH₃ = Moles of N₂ × 2

                                  = 2.3 moles × 2

                                  = 4.6 moles

<h3>Step 3: Calculating the mass of ammonia produced </h3>

Mass = Moles × molar mass

Molar mass of ammonia gas = 17.031 g/mol

Therefore;

Mass = 4.6 moles × 17.031 g/mol

         = 78.3426 g

         = 78.34 g

Thus, the mass of NH₃ produced is 78.34 g
