What is an acid and also what is a base​

Chemistry
1 answer:
expeople1 [14]3 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!!!

exactly 1mol of n2o4 is placed in an empty 1 l container. if at equilibrium n2o4 is dissociated 20%, what is the value of equili
egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

K = 0.2

Explanation:

Based on the chemical dissociation of N₂O₄:

N₂O₄ ⇄ 2NO₂

The equilibrium constant, K, of the reaction is:

K = [NO₂]² / [N₂O₄]

Now, if 20% of N₂O₄ is dissociated, 80% remains as N₂O₄ = 0.8mol/L = 0.8M

as 20% is dissociated, 0.2moles of N₂O₄ were dissociated and 0.2*2 = 0.4mol/L of NO₂ are produced.

Replacing in K:

K = [0.4M]² / [0.8M]

<h3>K = 0.2</h3>

What purpose does ammonia lauryl sulfate serve as a surfactor
Alborosie

Answer:

See below  

Step-by-step explanation:

Ammonium lauryl sulfate has the structural formula CH₃CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂CH₂OSO₂O⁻ NH₄⁺.

The long nonpolar hydrocarbon chain and the ionic sulfate end group make it a surfactant.  

The ionic end tends to dissolve in water, but the nonpolar chain does not. This makes the compound an excellent <em>foaming agent,</em> so it is used in many shampoos and toothpastes.

The molecules form <em>micelles</em> in water, small spherical shapes with the polar heads outside, facing the water, and the nonpolar tails are inside.

They reduce the surface tension or the water so that, when you brush your teeth or shampoo your hair, the air bubbles are stable and do not break.

Question 4 (1 point)
Diano4ka-milaya [45]

In an endothermic reaction products are <u>HIGHER </u>than reactants in potential energy and <u>LESS </u>stable.

Explanation:

Energy is input into the reaction in an endothermic reaction. This means the products are of a higher energy level than the reactants. Therefore the reaction increases Gibb's free energy and reduces entropy. Remember in thermodynamic stability involves an increase in entropy and a decrease in Gibbs free energy. Therefore the products are less stable than the reactants. This is why endothermic reactions do not occur spontaneously like exothermic reactions.

Why does it make sense that Hydrogen and Helium would be the first elements to form in the Universe?
Illusion [34]

Answer:

Explanation:

It makes sense because Helium and Hydrogen only hold 1 and 2 subsequent protons/neutrons and electrons. When the Big Bang happened the entire universe was so hot that it was impossible for elements to form since it was impossible for electrons to stay bound to the atoms. After a few seconds the universe began to cool enough for electrons to bond to atoms and create different elements. Since Helium and Hydrogen have 1 and 2 electrons subsequently we can assume that they were the first elements to be created. Also they are the most abundant elements in the Universe which backs up this theory.
