One definition of an acid is a molecule that can donate a H+ ion. So for example if you have an acid such as hydrochloric acid (HCl) in water, HCl will donate it's H+ to the H2O molecule, forming Cl- and H3O+.
In contrast, a base is a molecule that accepts H+ ions. This means a base such as NH3 reacts with H2O to form OH- and NH4.
So when pH is measured, it is the ratio of H3O+ ions to OH- ions. If there are more H3O+ ions, you then know that there are more acidic molecules in the solution, since they must be giving away their H+ ions.
So a solution with an acid in it will have more H3O+ ions (which can be described as H+ ions) in it. However, an acid by itself will have nothing to donate H+ ions to.
hope this helps also please make me the brainliest
This would be true.
The reason why this answer would be true is because a fossil's position in the rock layers determine how long they died and were preserved. If the fossils were right next to each other, then that means both organisms were preserved at the same time.
A is the answer I know bc I take biology
Answer:
Dispersion forces.
Explanation:
CO2 contains dispersion forces, and covalent bonds. It is a linear molecule, and the bond angle of O-C-O is 180 degree. O is more electronegative than C, the C-O contains polar bond with the having negative end pointing towards the O.
CO contains two C-O bonds. They cancel each other out because of the dipoles point in opposite directions. Although, CO2 contains polar bonds, it is known as a nonpolar molecule. So, the only intramolecular forces which CO2 having are London dispersion forces.
Answer:
A.
Explanation:
hope this helped sorry if its wrong!
