Answer:
Explanation:
The definition of acids and bases by Arrhenius Theory was modified and extended by Bronsted-Lowry.
Bronsted-Lowry defined acid as a molecule or ion which donates a proton while a base is a molecule or ions that accepts the proton. This definition can be extended to include acid -base titrations in non-aqueous solutions.
In this theory, the reaction of an acid with a base constitutes a transfer of a proton from the acid to the base.
From the given information:
From above:
We will see that HCN releases an H⁺ ion, thus it is a Bronsted-Lowry acid
accepts the H⁺ ion ,thus it is a Bronsted-Lowry base.
The formula of the reactant that acts as a proton donor is <u>HCN</u>
The formula of the reactant that acts as a proton acceptor is <u>H2O</u>
Explanation:
Distinguish chemical substances from mixtures
Key Points
Matter can be broken down into two categories: pure substances and mixtures. Pure substances are further broken down into elements and compounds. Mixtures are physically combined structures that can be separated into their original components.
A chemical substance is composed of one type of atom or molecule.
A mixture is composed of different types of atoms or molecules that are not chemically bonded.
A heterogeneous mixture is a mixture of two or more chemical substances where the various components can be visually distinguished.
A homogeneous mixture is a type of mixture in which the composition is uniform and every part of the solution has the same properties.
Various separation techniques exist in order to separate matter, including include distillation, filtration, evaporation and chromatography. Matter can be in the same phase or in two different phases for this separation to take place.
Terms
substanceA form of matter that has constant chemical composition and characteristic properties. It is composed of one type of atom or molecule.
elementA chemical substance that is made up of a particular kind of atom and cannot be broken down or transformed by a chemical reaction.
mixtureSomething that consists of diverse, non-bonded elements or molecules.
Answer
D
Explanation:
They take up usable forms of nitrogen found in soil
Complete balanced equation: 2HNO₃ + Ca(OH)₂ → Ca(NO₃)₂ + 2H₂O
Ionized equation (with spectator ions):
2H⁺ + 2NO₃⁻ + Ca²⁺ + 2OH⁻ → Ca²⁺ + 2NO₃⁻ + 2H₂O
By eliminating the ions that are the same of both sides of the equation (spectator ions):
2H⁺ + 2OH⁻ → 2H₂O [Net Ionic Equation]
