Answer: Potassium hydroxide, KOH, is considered a <u>BASE</u> in an acid-base reaction because it <u>ACCEPTS</u> a hydrogen ion from the other reactant.
According to Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory, Base is a specie which accepts proton (H⁺) while, Acid is a specie which donate proton.
Bases may contain a negative charge or lone pair of electrons, while, Acids contain positive charge or a neutral atom with incomplete octet.
In given statement KOH is acting as a base because it contains a negatively charged hydroxyl group which can accept proton from a acid, i.e.
KOH → K⁺ + OH⁻
Reaction of OH⁻ with any acid,
K⁺ + OH⁻ + HCl → H₂O + KCl
Answer:
Explanation:
Gold (111) Chloride:
AuCl₃
The oxidation state of gold is +3.
Chlorine is present in group seventeen and have seven valance electrons . Thus it accept one electron to complete the octet and show oxidation state -1.
When it react with gold(III) three chlorine atoms are combine with one gold atom to make compound overall neutral.
Calcium Carbonate:
CaCO₃
Carbonate formula is CO₃²⁻ . It means it carry -2 charge . Calcium is present in group two. It has two valance electrons and lose them to get complete octet thus shows +2 oxidation state.
When it combine with carbonate the overall compound is neutral because -2 and +2 charges cancel each other.
Hydrobromic Acid
HBr
Hydrogen has one electron while bromine has seven valance electrons. Bromine require one more electron to complete the octet. It react with hydrogen by sharing of one electron of hydrogen and form polar covalent compound.
