Answer:

A solvent is a substance that dissolves a solute, resulting in a solution. A solvent is usually a liquid but can also be a solid, a gas, or a supercritical fluid.

Answer:

Synergism

Explanation:

Synergism -

It refers to the process of interaction between the any two or more chemicals , i.e. , combining the chemicals increases the effect of the chemical , is referred to as synergism .

The individual drug or chemical might not be strong or harmful in any respect , but combining it with various other drugs or chemical , might make it very strong or harmful .

Hence ,from the given scenario of the question ,

The correct answer is synergism .

What evidence do you see that a chemical reaction is taking place when you add hydrogen peroxide to potassium ioxide??

Yuri [45]

Answer:

Bubbling/Foaming

Heat is produced

Explanation:

A chemical reaction has occurred if

1. There is a change in colour

2. Formation of a precipitate

3. Formation of a gas

4. Change in temperature

5. Change of smell

In the reaction of hydrogen peroxide and potassium iodide, the solution quickly rises which shows the formation of gas. This means it is a chemical reaction.

The beaker/test tube/whatever you used should also become warm because it is an exothermic reaction. This means its a chemical reaction

Wht are the trends for electronegativity and ionzation energy similar

FinnZ [79.3K]

Answer:

Along period electronegativity and ionization energy increases.

Along group electronegativity and ionization energy decreases.

Explanation:

Along period:

As we move from left to right across the periodic table the number of valance electrons in an atom increase. The atomic size tend to decrease in same period of periodic table because the electrons are added with in the same shell. When the electron are added, at the same time protons are also added in the nucleus. The positive charge is going to increase and this charge is greater in effect than the charge of electrons. This effect lead to the greater nuclear attraction. Thus the attraction of the atoms for valance electrons increases. The electrons are pull towards the nucleus and valance shell get closer to the nucleus. As a result of this greater nuclear attraction atomic radius decreases and ionization energy increases because it is very difficult to remove the electron from atom and more energy is required, and electronegativity also increases.

Along group:

As we move from top to bottom in periodic table the atomic sizes increases.The electrons are added in next energy level in every next element. Thus the valance electrons farther away from the nucleus and hold of nucleus becomes weaker, because of weak nuclear attraction atomic radii increases and electronegativity and ionization energy decreases.

Hydrocyanic acid, HCN, is a weak acid. (a) Write the chemical equation for the dissociation of HCN in water. (b) Identify the Br

12345 [234]

Answer: a) $HCN(aq.)+H_2O\rightleftharoons H_3O^+(aq.)+CN^-(aq.)$

b) $HCN$ : acid $CN^-$ :conjugate base.

And, $H_2O$ : base $H_3O^+$ : conjugate acid.

c) $HCN(aq.)+NaOH(aq)\rightleftharoons NaCN(aq.)+H_2O(l)$

d) $NaCN(aq)\rightarrow Na^+(aq.)+CN^-(aq)$

e) $NaCN(aq)+HCl(aq)\rightarrow NaCl(aq.)+HCN(aq)$

Explanation:

a) Weak acid is defined as the acid which does not completely dissociates when dissolved in water. They have high pH. These releases $H^+$ ions in their aqueous states.

The equation for the dissociation of $HCN$ acid is given by:

$HCN(aq.)+H_2O\rightleftharoons H_3O^+(aq.)+CN^-(aq.)$

b) According to the Bronsted-Lowry conjugate acid-base theory, an acid is defined as a substance which looses donates protons and thus forming conjugate base and a base is defined as a substance which accepts protons and thus forming conjugate acid.

For the given chemical equation:

$HCN$ is loosing a proton, thus it is considered as an acid and after losing a proton, it forms $CN^-$ which is a conjugate base.

And, $H_2O$ is gaining a proton, thus it is considered as a base and after gaining a proton, it forms $H_3O^+$ which is a conjugate acid.

c) Neutralization reaction is a reaction in which an acid reacts with base to produce salt and water.

$HCN(aq.)+NaOH(aq)\rightarrow NaCN(aq.)+H_2O(l)$

d) The chemical equation for dissociation of $NaCN$ in water.

$NaCN(aq)\rightarrow Na^+(aq.)+CN^-(aq)$

e) The chemical equation for the reaction of $NaCN$ and $HCI$

$NaCN(aq)+HCl(aq)\rightarrow NaCl(aq.)+HCN(aq)$
