Given the balanced equation representing a reaction:

Chemistry
1 answer:
zloy xaker [14]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

An acid because they donate H^+ ions

Explanation:

Let us look at the equation again;

H2SO3 + H2O « H3O+ + HSO3-

An acid donates hydrogen ion while a base accepts hydrogen ion. Hence, we have to look at which species that acted as hydrogen ion donors or acceptors.

We can clearly see that H2SO3 acted as a hydrogen ion donor while H2O acted as a hydrogen ion acceptor.

Thus, H2SO3  acted as an acid by donating hydrogen ions.

Julli [10]

Answer:

Protons and neutrons which packed tightly into central core of the atom.

Explanation:

Atoms are composed of three subatomic particle; electron, proton and neutron. Electrons are negatively charged, protons are positively charged whereas neutrons are neutral, hence does not have any charge.

Out of three, protons and neutrons are present in the nucleus of the atom.

Nucleus is the central part of the atom possessing most of the mass of the atom. In the nucleus, protons and neutrons are tightly packed with the help of nuclear force.

Electrons are present around the nucleus also called electron cloud.

Therefore, nucleus are composed of protons and neutrons which packed tightly into central core of the atom

A chemist has some 40% acid solution, some 60% acid solution, and a wholebunch of free time. How many liters of each should be u
TiliK225 [7]

Answer:

30 Liters of 40% acid solution and 10 L of 60% acid solution is needed.

Explanation:

Let volume of the 40% acid solution be x.

Let volume of the 60% acid solution be y.

Volume of solution formed after mixing both solution = 40 L

x + y = 40 L..[1]

Volume of acid 40% solution = 40% of x= 0.4x

Volume of acid 60% solution = 60% of y= 0.6y

Volume of acid formed = 45% of 40 L = \frac{45}{100}\times 40=18L

0.4x+0.6y=18 L..[2]

Solving [1] and [2]

x = 30 L  ,   y = 10 L

30 Liters of 40% acid solution and 10 L of 60% acid solution is needed.

Which pair of elements is most likely to chemically combine and form ionic bonds, chlorine and chlorine or lithium and chlorine,
olya-2409 [2.1K]
I believe the correct answer from the choices listed above is the second option. The pair of elements that is most likely to chemically combine and form ionic bonds would be <span>lithium and chlorine. Lithium is metal and chlorine is nonmetal which as a compound forms ionic bonds. Hope this answers the question.</span>
