It depends on what the reaction is. Usually H2O is neutral. If in the reaction, it accepts proton(H+), it is base. If it donors the proton(H+), it is acid. So it based on what reaction it is.

Answer: both an acid and base

Explanation: By Bronsted-Lowery acid base theory: proton Donor is acid and proton Acceptor is base.

Here H2O by donating the proton acts as acid.

H2O ------> H^+ + OH^-

And by accepting the proton acts as base

H2O + H+ --------> H3O+

Which of the following two combinations of reactants is more appropriate for the preparation of p-nitrophenyl phenyl ether? Fluo

VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

p-fluoronitrobenzene and sodium phenoxide is more appropriate

Explanation:

An ipso substitution is required to form p-nitrophenyl phenyl ether.

For this ipso substitution, an alkoxide anion needs to attack as a nucleophile at the carbon atom attached to fluorine atom and thereby substitute that F atom.

p-nitrophenoxide is an weak nucleophile as compared to phenoxide due to presence of electron withdrawing resonating effect of nitro group at para position.

p-fluoronitrobenzene is a good choice for nucleophilic attack by alkoxide anion as compared to fluorobenzene due to higher positive charge density at carbon atom directly attached to F atom. Higher positive charge density arises due to presence of electron withdrawing resonating effect og nitro group at para position.

So, p-fluoronitrobenzene and sodium phenoxide is more appropriate

In a titration of 0.35 M HCl and 0.35 M NaOH, how much NaOH should be added to 45.0 ml of HCl to completely neutralize the acid?

Bezzdna [24]

It would be the same amount. So, 45 ml of NaOH is required to be added to the 45 ml of HCI to neutralize the acid fully. Here is a brief calculation:

Firstly, here is your formula: M(HCI) x V(HCI) = M(NaOh) x V(NaOH)
With the values put in: 0.35 x 45 = 0.35 x V(NaOH)
= 45 ml.
There is 45 ml of V(NaOH)

Let me know if you need anything else. :)
