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 can we increase the rate of collisions between the reactants in this reaction? mg 2hcl → mgcl2 h2
Minchanka [31]

<u>The frequency of </u><u>collisions </u><u>between the two reactants increases as the </u><u>concentration </u><u>of the reactants increases</u>. When collisions happen, they don't always cause a reaction (atoms misaligned or insufficient energy, etc.). Higher concentrations result in more collisions and reaction opportunities.

Increasing a reactant's surface area increases the frequency of collisions and thus the reaction rate. The surface area of several smaller particles is greater than that of a single large particle. The greater the available surface area for particles to collide, the faster the reaction will occur.

<h3>How does concentration affect the rate of collisions between reactants?</h3>

Thus, we can conclude that by increasing the concentration of Mg in the reaction mixture we increase the rate of collisions between the reactants in this reaction.

<h3>What does the half reaction of an oxidation-reduction reaction show?</h3>

Iron gains electrons in the half reaction of an oxidation-reduction reaction. What does iron's electron gain mean? It has been reduced. Predict the product that will precipitate out of the reaction using the solubility rules and the periodic table.

What must be absorbed to a higher frequency in order for an electron to be absorbed?
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer:

An electron will jump to a higher energy level when excited by an external energy gain such as a large heat increase or the presence of an electrical field, or collision with another electron.
