What is an acid and also what is a base​

Chemistry
1 answer:
expeople1 [14]2 years ago
3 0

Answer:

An acid is a substance that donates protons (in the Brønsted-Lowry definition) or accepts a pair of valence electrons to form a bond (in the Lewis definition). A base is a substance that can accept protons or donate a pair of valence electrons to form a bond.

Hope it helps!!!

Calculate the pH of the 4M NaOH
krek1111 [17]

\text{NaOH}(aq) \longrightarrow \text{Na}^{+} (aq)+ \text{OH}^{-}(aq)\\\\k_w = [\text{H}_3 \text{O}^{+}][\text{OH}^{-}]\\\\\implies 10^{-14} = [\text{H}_3 \text{O}^{+}] \cdot 4\\\\\implies   [\text{H}_3 \text{O}^{+}]  = \dfrac{10^{-14}}4 = 2.5 \times 10^{-15}~ M\\\\\text{pH} = -\log[\text{H}_3 \text{O}^{+}] = -log(2.5 \times 10^{-15})=14.603

Write a balanced half-reaction for the reduction of dichromate ion cr2o−27 to chromium ion cr 3 in basic aqueous solution. be su
jasenka [17]
Half reaction: Cr₂O₇²⁻(aq) + 7H₂O(l) + 6e⁻ → 2Cr³⁺(aq) + 14OH⁻(aq).
Chromium change oxidation number from +6 in dichromate ion Cr₂O₇²⁻ to +3 in chromium cation.
Sum of the charges on the left side of the half reaction is -2 and on the left side is -8 (2·(+3) +14·(-1)), so six electrons must be added on the left side of half reaction.

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

CN^- is a strong field ligand

Explanation:

The complex, hexacyanoferrate II is an Fe^2+ specie. Fe^2+ is a d^6 specie. It may exist as high spin (paramagnetic) or low spin (diamagnetic) depending on the ligand. The energy of the d-orbitals become nondegenerate upon approach of a ligand. The extent of separation of the two orbitals and the energy between them is defined as the magnitude of crystal field splitting (∆o).

Ligands that cause a large crystal field splitting such as CN^- are called strong field ligands. They lead to the formation of diamagnetic species. Strong field ligands occur towards the end of the spectrochemical series of ligands.

Hence the complex, Fe(CN)6 4− is diamagnetic because the cyanide ion is a strong field ligand that causes the six d-electrons present to pair up in a low spin arrangement.

chemistry A basketball is inflated to a pressure of 1.10 atm in a 28.0°C garage. What is the pressure of the basketball outside
butalik [34]

Answer : The final pressure of the basketball is, 0.990 atm

Explanation :

Gay-Lussac's Law : It is defined as the pressure of the gas is directly proportional to the temperature of the gas at constant volume and number of moles.

P\propto T

or,

\frac{P_1}{P_2}=\frac{T_1}{T_2}

where,

P_1 = initial pressure = 1.10 atm

P_2 = final pressure = ?

T_1 = initial temperature = 28.0^oC=273+28.0=301.0K

T_2 = initial temperature = -2.00^oC=273+(-2.00)=271.0K

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

\frac{1.10atm}{P_2}=\frac{301.0K}{271.0K}

P_2=0.990atm

Thus, the final pressure of the basketball is, 0.990 atm
