Answer:We will use an acid to test whether sample contains calcium carbonate or not.

Explanation:

Calcium carbonate reacts with acids to give off carbon-dioxide gas ,water and calcium chloride. it is a salt of strong base calcium hydroxide and weak acid carbonic acid.

CaCO_3+2HCl\rightarrow CO_2+H_2O+CaCl_2

Evolution of carbon-dioxide on the reaction is also termed as effervescence.

If the sample contains the calcium carbonate strong effervesces will be observed and if not no effervescence will be observed.

We will use an acid to test whether sample contains calcium carbonate or not.

Acidity is a measure of the amount of dissolved hydroxide ions in a solution.
Gekata [30.6K]

The concentration of hydrogen ions in a solution is a measure of its acidity. So the correct option is (b) false.

When an Arrhenius acid is dissolved in water, hydrogen ions are produced:

H+(aq) + A- = HA + H2O (aq)

Here, H+ is the hydrogen cation, A- is the solvated anion, also known as the conjugate base, and HA is the non-dissociated acid. When an Arrhenius base is dissolved in water, hydroxide ions are produced:

BOH + H2O → B+(aq) + OH-(aq)

Is a material with at least one hydrogen atom that has the ability to split apart in an aqueous solution to produce an anion and an H + ion (a proton), creating an acidic solution. Bases are substances that, when dissolved in water, create hydroxide ions (OH) and a cation, resulting in a basic solution.

What would happen if I removed a resistor from a parallel circuit? What would
barxatty [35]

Answer:

In a parallel circuit, current divides through resistors and current might be different depending upon the resistor and all resistors have the same potential difference. Therefore, if a parallel resistor was removed then the total resistance of the circuit will increase.

Which one of the atoms shown would be most likely to form a cation with a charge of 1?
olga55 [171]
Ions are stable atoms of elements formed when original atoms loose or gain electrons to form stable configuration. Anions are negatively charged ions formed when atoms gain electrons while cations are the positively charged ions formed when atoms loose electrons. In this case a charge of +1 means an atom lost one electron to form a stable configuration. Therefore, the correct answer is A
