Which one of these is NOT a sign of chemical change? *

CO2+2H2O=H3O^++HCO3^-

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

Bronsted Lowry Theory

$CO_2$ is the acid

$H_2 O$ is the base

$H_3 O^+$ is the conjugate acid and

$HCO_3^-$ is the conjugate base

Explanation:

Bronsted Lowry Theory:

An acid is a substance that can donate one or more protons

A base is a substance which can accept one or more protons

Hydrogen atom which is neutral (No Charge) contains 1 positive proton, 1 negative electron and 0 neutral neutron.

Thus Hydrogen atom has no Charge and it is neutral.

When an hydrogen atom loses an electron, Hydrogen ion is formed, which will contain 1 positive proton and 0 negative electron and 0 neutral neutron.

Thus Hydrogen ion has a positive charge.

Hydrogen ion is also called as a proton since it has only 1 proton in it.

Hydrogen ion in water that is,

$H^++H_2O\Rightarrow H_3O^+$

$H_3O^+$ is called as Hydronium ion.

Acid loses H+ (proton) to form conjugate Base

Base gains H+ (proton) to form conjugate Acid

For example

Let us consider the example given in the question

$CO_2+2H_2 O>H_3 O^+ +HCO_3^-$ can be written as (removed 1 $H_2 O$ from both the sides )

$CO_2+H_2 O>H^++HCO_3^-$ or

$CO_2+H_2 O > H_2 CO_3$ reversing the equation

$H_2 CO_3+H_2 O>H_3 O^+ +HCO_3^-$

$H_2 CO_3$ is the acid which donates $H^+$ to form $HCO_3^-$

$H_2 O$ is the base which gains $H^+$ to form $H_3 O^+$

$HCO_3^-$ is the conjugate base and $H_3 O^+$ is the conjugate acid

So

$CO_2$ is the acid

$H_2 O$ is the base

$H_3 O^+$ is the conjugate acid and

$HCO_3^-$ is the conjugate base

An atom with a high metallic character usually has a ____ electron affinity and a ____ atomic radius.

lianna [129]

Low electron affinity and large atomic radius

Metallic character decreases across a period (from left to right) and increases down a group.

Electron affinity increases from left to right within a period. This is caused by the decrease in atomic radius. Electron affinity decreases from top to bottom within a group. This is caused by the increase in atomic radius.
