Why are acids called proton donors?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Ulleksa [173]2 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.

In Balancing Equations, why do I put a 3 before reactant H?
Katena32 [7]
You have 3 (h2(so4)) on the reactants side so you need to have 6 total hydrogen’s on the products side. Therefore 3(h2) is required.

What is the pressure in a 5.00 L tank with<br> 7.10 moles of oxygen at 39.3 °C?
Katena32 [7]

Answer:

36.4 atm

Explanation:

To find the pressure, you need to use the Ideal Gas Law. The equation looks like this:

PV = nRT

In this equation,

-----> P = pressure (atm)

-----> V = volume (L)

-----> n = moles

-----> R = constant (0.0821 L*atm/mol*K)

-----> T = temperature (K)

Before you can plug the given values into the equation, you first need to convert Celsius to Kelvin.

P = ? atm                         R = 0.0821 L*atm/mol*K

V = 5.00 L                       T = 393 °C + 273.15 = 312.45 K

n = 7.10 moles

PV = nRT

P(5.00 L) = (7.10 moles)(0.0821 L*atm/mol*K)(312.45 K)

P(5.00 L) = 182.130

P = 36.4 atm

The literature value for the Ksp of Ca(OH)2 at 25 °C is 4.68E−6. Imagine you ran the experiment and got a calculated value for K
svet-max [94.6K]

Answer:

D. The Ca[OH]2 solution may have been unsaturated

Explanation:

The solubility product constant Ksp of any given chemical compound is a term used to describe the equilibrium between a solid and the ions it contains solution. The value of the Ksp indicates the extent to which any compound can dissociate into ions in water. A higher the Ksp, implies more greater solubility of the compound in water.

If the Ksp is more than the value in literature, this false value must have arisen from the fact that the solution was unsaturated hence it appears to be more soluble than it should normally be when saturated.
