Elements that form diatomic molecules, or molecules of two atoms each, are commonly found on the right side of the periodic table.
They define acids as proton donors, and bases as proton acceptors
If you were to have:
HNO3 + H2O -> H3O+. + NO3-
You can see that the nitric acid (HNO3) gave a hydrogen ion which has 1 proton, 0 neutrons and 0 electrons to the water so we just say that it gave a proton.
Now let's see a base
NH3 + H2O -> NH4+ + OH-
Now, you can see that the ammonia (NH3) gained a hydrogen ion (proton) from the water to become ammonium(NH4). which means it accepted a proton
That's basically it. Feel free to ask if you have any further questions
Answer:
The pOH is 4, 44 and the solution is basic.
Explanation:
The pOH is a measure of the concentration of OH (hydroxyl) ions in the solution.
The pOH is calculated as :
pOH = -log (OH-)= -log (3.67 x 10-5 )= 4, 44. In this case, the solution is basic.
The p0H scale ranges from values of 0 to 14 (less than 7.0 is basic and greater than 7.0 is acidic, a pH = 7.0 is neutral)
