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

Calculate the amount of heat needed to boil of benzene (), beginning from a temperature of . Be sure your answer has a unit symb
Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Check explanation

Explanation:

From the question, the parameters given are 64.7g of benzene,C6H6; a starting temperature of 41.9°C and bringing it to 33.2°C.

Molar mass of benzene,C6H6= 78.11236 g/mol.

Things to know: heat capacity of benzene, C6H6= 1.63 J/g.K, the heat of fusion = 9.87 kj/mol.

STEP ONE(1): ENERGY USED IN MELTING BENZENE SOLID.

Using the formula below;

Energy used in melting the solid(in JOULES) = (mass of benzene/molar mass of benzene) × heat of Fusion.

=(64.7 g of C6H6/ 78.11236(g per mol) of C6H6) × 9.87 kJ per mol.

= 8.175 J.

= 0.008175 kJ.

STEP TWO (2): ENERGY OF HEATING THE LIQUID.

It can be calculated from the formula below;

Energy= heat capacity (J/g.K) × mass of benzene× (∆T).

= 1.63 J/g.K × 64.7 × (41.9-33.2).

= 917.5J.

= 0.9175 kJ.

Energy required to boil benzene= Energy required to melt the bezene + energy required for boiling.

= 0.008175+ 0.9175.

= 0.93kJ

Approximately, 1 kJ

What are two possible fates of stars larger than 8 sol
attashe74 [19]
Stars born larger than 8 solar masses usually retain enough mass to undergo core collapse, with the resulting shock wave producing a Type Ib supernova (spectra without Hydrogen or Silicon lines, with Helium lines), a Type Ic supernova (without Hydrogen or Helium or Silicon lines) or a Type II supernova

 Describe and name the parts of the atom.
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

The parts of an atom are<em><u> protons, electrons, and neutrons.</u></em>

A proton is positively charged and is located in the center or nucleus of the atom.

Electrons are negatively charged and are located in rings or orbits spinning around the nucleus.

The number of protons and electrons is always equal.
