Why are acids called proton donors?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ulleksa [173]3 years ago
3 0
Acids are substances that can donate H+ ions to bases. Since a hydrogen atom is a proton and one electron, technically an H+ ion is just a proton. So an acid is a "proton donor", and a base is a "proton acceptor". The reaction between an acid and base is essentially a proton transfer.
The relationship between acids and bases is more aggressive than the donor/acceptor terminology implies. Bases don't passively "accept" protons; they rip hydrogen ions from acids. Acids don't "donate" hydrogen ions; they surrender them.

How much volume (in cm^3)is gained by a person who gains 11.8 lb of our fat? Human fat has a density of 0.918 g/cm^3
Zinaida [17]

The volume (in cm³) gained by a person who gains 11.8 lb of fat is 5830.49 cm³

<h3>What is density? </h3>

The density of a substance is simply defined as the mass of the subtance per unit volume of the substance. Mathematically, it can be expressed as

Density = mass / volume

<h3>How to convert pounds to grams </h3>

1 lb = 453.592 g

Therefore,

11.8 lb = 11.8 × 453.592

11.8 lb = 5352.3856 g

<h3>How to determine the volume </h3>
  • Mass = 5352.3856 g
  • Density = 0.918 g/cm³
  • Volume =?

Volume =  mass / density

Volume =  5352.3856 / 0.918

Volume = 5830.49 cm³

What conclusion can you make about electrons and the periodic table?
kogti [31]

Answer:

The number of valence electrons can be known from the group that the element is in (except the lanthanides, actinides and groups 3-12).

Explanation:

Group 1 has 1 valence electron. Group 2 has 2 valence electrons. Group 13 has 3 valence electrons. Group 14 has 4, group 15 has 5, group 16 has 6, group 17 has 7, and group 18 has 8.

Group 18 are the noble gases which are stable.

Group 17 are the halogens and react well with the alkali metals.
