Answer:

(a) Acid

(b) Base

(c) Acid

(d) Base

Explanation:

According to the Arrhenius acid-base theory:

  • An acid is a substance that releases H⁺ in aqueous solution.
  • A base is a substance that releases OH⁻ in aqueous solution.

(a) H₂SO₄ is an acid according to the following equation:

H₂SO₄(aq) ⇒ 2 H⁺(aq) + SO₄²⁻(aq)

(b) Sr(OH)₂ is a base according to the following equation:

Sr(OH)₂(aq) ⇄ Sr²⁺(aq) + 2 OH⁻(aq)

(c) HBr is an acid according to the following equation:

HBr(aq) ⇒ H⁺(aq) + Br⁻(aq)

(d) NaOH is a base according to the following equation:

NaOH(aq) ⇒ Na⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

Hydrogen may not be advantagous as a fuel because-------
sergeinik [125]

Answer:

Hydrogen may not be advantageous as a fuel because...

- Its expensive

- Its difficult to store

- Its highly flammable

- Its dependent on fossil fuels

Explanation:

Its expensive - Not only is hydrogen gas expensive, but it also takes a lot of work to free from other elements. It is both expensive and time-consuming to produce.

Its difficult to store - Moving hydrogen is not an easy task. Moving anything more than small amounts of hydrogen was also very expensive, making it impractical.

Its highly flammable - When exposed to the atmosphere, hydrogen could potentially form explosive mixtures.

Its dependent on fossil fuels - Hydrogen energy itself is renewable. However, the process of separating it from oxygen uses non-renewable sources such as coal and oil.

~Hope this Helps!~

Describe the molecular structure of water and explain why the water molecule is polar
pentagon [3]

Explanation:

Hybridization of O in H_2O = sp^3

So, water molecule has four hybrid orbitals.

Two hybrid orbitals form 2 sigma bond with two H atoms.

Remaining two hybrid orbitals are occupied by two lone pairs.

Because of lone pair-lone pair repulsion, shape of H_2O becomes bent.

Water molecule is polar because of difference in eletronegativities of O and H.

O is more electronegative as comapared to hydrogen. So bonding electrons get attracted towards O atom which results in the development of partial negative charge on O atom and partial positive charge on H atoms.

Because of development of partial negative and partial positive charge, water molecule becomes polar.

The surface tension of which of the following liquid is maximum?
Elden [556K]
The cohesive forces between liquid molecules are responsible for the phenomenon known as surface tension<span>. I think the correct answer is option A. H2O will have the highest surface tension due to the hydrogen bonds that are present. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>
