Do bases contain hydrogen ions (H+)

Chemistry
1 answer:
Dmitrij [34]4 years ago
6 0

One definition of an acid is a molecule that can donate a H+ ion. So for example if you have an acid such as hydrochloric acid (HCl) in water, HCl will donate it's H+ to the H2O molecule, forming Cl- and H3O+.  

In contrast, a base is a molecule that accepts H+ ions. This means a base such as NH3 reacts with H2O to form OH- and NH4.

So when pH is measured, it is the ratio of H3O+ ions to OH- ions. If there are more H3O+ ions, you then know that there are more acidic molecules in the solution, since they must be giving away their H+ ions.  

So a solution with an acid in it will have more H3O+ ions (which can be described as H+ ions) in it. However, an acid by itself will have nothing to donate H+ ions to.

hope this helps also please make me the brainliest

How much heat is absorbed by 15.5g of steam to turn into liquid water when its temperature is decreased from 120.0°C to 100.0°C?
Natali [406]

Answer:

- 618.8 J.

Explanation:

  • To solve this problem, we can use the relation:

<em>Q = m.c.ΔT,</em>

where, Q is the amount of heat released by steam (Q = ??? J).

m is the mass of the steam (m = 15.5 g).

c is the specific heat of the steam (c of steam = 1.996 J/g.°C).

ΔT is the difference between the initial and final temperature (ΔT = final T - initial T = 100.0°C - 120.0°C = - 20.0°C).

<em>∴ Q = m.c.ΔT</em> = (15.5 g)(1.996 J/g.°C)(- 20.0°C) =<em> - 618.8 J.</em>

1. Islands in the middle of the oceans (for example, Great Britain, Hawaii, Bermuda) tend to have more stable climates with smal
ehidna [41]
The land of mass that is surrounded by water has more stable climate and smaller temperature flactuation is because of the property of water called specific heat, water has a specific heat of 4180 J/kg C this means that it needs a lot of energy to raise the temperature of water and also vice versa. unlike in the area surrounded by mass like deserts where the sand has a specific heat of about 880 j/kg C which means it only needs small amount of energy to raise its temperature and also to cool down, that is why during at morning in the desert is too hot while at night it is too cold

What is the amount of ca3(po4)2 that can be prepared from a mixture of 9g of Ca(OH) 2 and 11g of H3po4?
schepotkina [342]
Moles Ca(OH)2 = 12.9 /74.092 g/mol=0.174 
<span>moles H3PO4 = 18.37/98.0 g/mol=0.187 </span>
<span>3 : 2 = x : 0.187 </span>
<span>x = moles Ca(OH)2 needed =0.281 </span>
<span>we have only 0.174 moles of calcium hydroxide so it is the limiting reactant </span>
<span>moles Ca3(PO4)2 = 0.174/3=0.0580 </span>
<span>mass = 0.0580 mol x 310.18 g/mol=18.0 g</span>
