Explain why you get a basic solution when you dissolve NaF in water.

Chemistry
1 answer:
SashulF [63]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

<em>That's </em><em>because</em><em> </em><em>in </em><em>water</em><em> </em><em>NaF </em><em>will </em><em>dissolve</em><em> </em><em>to </em><em>produce </em><em>Na</em><em>+</em><em>,</em><em>the </em><em>conjugate </em><em>base </em><em>of </em><em>a </em><em>strong</em><em> </em><em>acid </em><em>which</em><em> </em><em>will </em><em>not </em><em>react </em><em>with </em><em>water.</em><em>h</em><em>o</em><em>w</em><em>e</em><em>v</em><em>e</em><em>r</em><em> </em><em>F- </em><em>will </em><em>behave </em><em>like </em><em>a </em><em>bronsted </em><em>base,</em><em> </em><em>and </em><em>accept</em><em> </em><em>a </em><em>proton </em><em>from </em><em>water.</em><em>t</em><em>h</em><em>i</em><em>s</em><em> </em><em>is </em><em>called </em><em>hydrolysis</em><em> </em><em>reaction,</em><em> because</em><em> </em><em>a </em><em>molecule</em><em> </em><em>of </em><em>water </em><em>is </em><em>broken </em><em>up.</em>

<em>a </em><em>conjugate</em><em> base</em><em> </em><em>is </em><em>what </em><em>I </em><em>leftover </em><em>after </em><em>an </em><em>acid </em><em>loses </em><em>a </em><em>hydrogen</em><em> </em><em>ion.</em>

<em>I </em><em>hope</em><em> this</em><em> helps</em>

Why is hydrogen a “cleaner” fuel source than gasoline?

hydrogen is natural created and in the air already, gas is a fossil fuel and is killing the Ozone layer.  carbon dioxide is a poison and can really harm us and the world.

this paragraph basically explains the question

Compared to the carbon dioxide that is produced when we burn gasoline, ethanol, and other carbon-containing fuels, the water produced by burning hydrogen has a less harmful effect on Earth’s climate. If we can power our cars with hydrogen without producing carbon dioxide, then why don’t more vehicles use hydrogen fuel? Unfortunately, the technology needed to use hydrogen as a fuel is expensive, and storing hydrogen fuel can be difficult. Also, the most common way of getting pure hydrogen is by separating it from substances that contain carbon—so although burning hydrogen fuel does less harm to Earth’s climate than burning carbon-containing fuels, the production of hydrogen fuel is still a problem for scientists trying to reduce climate change.

nydimaria [60]

Non-metals

Explanation:

Covalent bonds usually occur between nonmetals. For example, in water (H2O) each hydrogen (H) and oxygen (O) share a pair of electrons to make a molecule of two hydrogen atoms single bonded to a single oxygen atom.
