Answer: Acids have a sour taste. Lemons, vinegar, and sour candies all contain acids. Acids change the color of certain acid-base indicators. Two common indicators are litmus and phenolphthalein. This are som Characteristics of acid.

If 40.0 g of HCl react with an excess of magnesium metal, what is the theoretical yield of hydrogen?

mamaluj [8]

Balanced equation: Mg+2HCl=MgCl2 + H2
Showing that if Mg is not a limiting factor then 2 moles of HCl on complete reaction liberate 1 mole of Hydrogen
therefore:
1 mole of HCl=35.5g, 40g=x
X= 40/35.5= 1.127mole
2 moles of HCl = 1 moles of Hydrogen
1.127=X
X=1.127/2 = 0.56
the theoretical yield of hydrogen

Classify each of the following substances:

Keith_Richards [23]

Explanation:

Carbon dioxide is a polar molecule whose positive center is on the carbon atom: This positive center is able to attract (and accept) the lone electron pairs present on the oxide ion (O2-). carbon dioxide is acts as a Lewis acid

A Lewis acid can accept a pair of electrons from a Lewis base. The boron in BF3 is electron poor and has an empty orbital, so it can accept a pair of electrons, making it a Lewis acid. A Lewis acid is defined as an electron-pair acceptor.

In CO molecule, there is a lone pair on both carbon and oxygen. The substance which can donate an electron pair are called Lewis base. It is clear that CO molecule can donate an electron pair and hence, it is a Lewis base. Also, CO can be BOTH a Lewis acid and base.

Oxygen is a Lewis base (that too a weak one), not a Lewis acid. REASON: It has lone pair of electrons, which can be donated to electron-deficient species (Lewis acids).

Methane is Neither a Lewis Acid or Lewis Base.

If a piece of cadmium with a mass of 37.60 g and a temperature of 100.0 oC is dropped into 25.00 cc of water at 23.0 oC, what wi

zlopas [31]

Answer:

$T_{eq}=28.9\°C$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since it is observed that hot cadmium is placed in cold water, we can infer that the heat released due to the cooling of cadmium is gained by the water and therefore we can write:

$Q_{Cd}+Q_{W}=0$

Thus, we insert mass, specific heat and temperatures to obtain:

$m_{Cd}C_{Cd}(T_{eq}-T_{Cd})+m_{W}C_{W}(T_{eq}-T_{W})=0$

In such a way, since the specific heat of cadmium and water are respectively 0.232 and 4.184 J/(g °C), we can solve for the equilibrium temperature (the final one) as shown below:

$T_{eq}=\frac{m_{Cd}C_{Cd}T_{Cd}+m_{W}C_{W}T_{W}}{m_{Cd}C_{Cd}+m_{W}C_{W}}$

Now, we plug in to obtain:

$T_{eq}=\frac{37.60g*0.232\frac{J}{g\°C}*100.00\°C+25.00g*4.184\frac{J}{g\°C}*23.0\°C}{37.60g*0.232\frac{J}{g\°C}+25.00g*4.184\frac{J}{g\°C}}\\\\T_{eq}=28.9\°C$

NOTE: since the density of water is 1g/cc, we infer that 25.00 cc equals 25.00 g.

Best regards!

A student places a small amount of water in a glass dish and then carefully places a small paperclip on the surface of the water

rosijanka [135]

Include:
- Adding cleanser makes the paperclip fall through the water to the base of the dish.
- Soap is a surfactant.
- Surfactants lessen the surface pressure of a fluid.
- The surface strain of water is the thing that upheld the paper cut.

1. Mg + CuSO4 —> MgSO4 + Cu

=> Single displacement reaction

2. 2HCI + Mg(OH)2 —> MgCI2 + H2O

=> Acid - base reaction

3.AgNO3 + NaCI —> AgCI + NaNO3

=> Double displacement reaction
