How to tell if an equation is acidic or basic?

1 answer:

8 0

<span>Chemical equations are neither acidic nor basic, but you can evaluate the products of the reaction (and maybe the reactants too) and identify the existence of acids or bases which will indicate what kind of effects the reaction will have on the acidity. However, I'm not sure if you're asking the question you want to know the answer to, maybe you're wondering about balancing redox equations (which you do differently in acidic vs basic environments), in which case you'll need additional information beyond just an equation, but if the equation is redox and it's balanced just look for the presence of H+ ions or OH- ions on either side and that will tell you if it is acidic or basic (respectively), if neither is present, it'll be neutral.</span>

The heat of fusion for water is 80. cal/g. How many calories of heat are needed to melt a 35 g ice cube that has a temperature o

HACTEHA [7]

Answer: 2800 calories

Explanation:

Latent heat of fusion is the amount of heat required to convert 1 mole of solid to liquid at atmospheric pressure.

Amount of heat required to fuse 1 gram of water = 80 cal

Mass of ice given = 35 gram

Heat required to fuse 1 g of ice at $0^0C$ = 80 cal

Thus Heat required to fuse 35 g of ice = $\frac{80}{1}\times 35=2800cal$

Thus 2800 calories of energy is required to melt 35 g ice cube

The value of the solubility product constant for Ag2CO3 is 8.5 × 10‒12 and that of Ag2CrO4 is 1.1 × 10‒12. From this data, what

Lena [83]

Answer:

B) 7.7

Explanation:

For the reaction Ag2CO3(s) + CrO42‒(aq) → Ag2CrO4(s) + CO32‒(aq)

Kc = (CO₃²⁻) / (CrO₄²⁻)

and the Ksp given are

Ag₂CO₃ ⇒ 2 Ag⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq) Ksp₁ = (Ag⁺)²(CO₃²⁻)

Ag₂CrO₄ ⇒ 2 Ag⁺(aq)+ CrO₄²⁻(aq) Ksp₂ = (Ag⁺)²(CrO₄²⁻)

Where (...) indicate concentrations M

Notice if we divide the expressions for Ksp we get:

Ksp₁/Ksp₂ = (CO₃²⁻) / (CrO₄²⁻) = 8.5 x 10⁻¹² / 1.1 x 10⁻¹² = 7.7

which is the desired answer.

Why do things dissolve so well in water ?

Goshia [24]

Answer:

Explanation:

Water is called the universal solvent. It is a polar molecule (105 degree angle between the H atoms) that gives it a + and a - side so to speak....which allows it to 'pull apart' substances....overcome their intra-molecular attractions to each other ...i.e. disssovle them
