Answer: A. Acids have a slippery feel.

Explanation:

Acid : It is a substance that has ability of donating proton or hydrogen ion, $H^+$ .

The properties of an acid are :

Acids are sour in taste.

The texture of an acid solution is sticky.

It changes the color of the litmus paper to red.

It react with a metal to give compound and hydrogen gas.

Base : It is a substance that has ability of donating hydroxide ion, $OH^-$ .

The properties of an base are :

Base are bitter in taste.

The texture of a base solution is slippery.

It changes the color of the litmus paper to blue.

It does not react with a metal.

Thus bases have slippery nature and not acids.

Suppose a compound is involved in three different reactions denoted R1, R2, and R3. Tripling the concentration of this reactant

pickupchik [31]

Answer:

The order of reaction is as follows, R1 = 1; R2 = 2; R3 = 0

Explanation:

The rate of a chemical reaction is the number of moles of reactants consumed per unit time or the number of moles of products formed per unit. the rate of a chemical reaction is affected by the concentration of reactants

The relationship between the rate of a chemical reaction and the concentration of its reactants is given by the rate law or equation.

Generally, the rate equation is given as;

Rate = k[A]ᵃ[B]ᵇ..., where k = rate constant which is independent of concentration of the reactants, [A] = concentration of reactant A, a = order of reaction A, [B] = concentration of reaction B, b = order of reaction B.

For the given reactions R1, R2 and R3

For R1; rate = 3, Concentration = 3[A]

3 = k[A]3ˣ

3¹ = k[A]3ˣ

Since rate is proportional to concentration, therefore, the order of reaction, x = 1

For R2; rate = 9, Concentration = 3[A]

9 = k[A]3ˣ

3² = k[A]3ˣ

Since rate is proportional to concentration, therefore, the order of reaction, x = 2

For R1; rate = 1, Concentration = 3[A]

1 = k[A]3ˣ

3⁰ = k[A]3ˣ

Since rate is proportional to concentration, therefore, the order of reaction, x = 0

Therefore, the order of reaction is as follows, R1 = 1; R2 = 2; R3 = 0

A salt bridge is used to provide electrons a path to flow from the electrode of one half-cell to another. TRUE FALSE

kicyunya [14]

It is false. The salt bridge is not a path for electrons, but a path for ions to flow from one half-cell to another. It help to balance the charge between the oxidation and reduction vessels.

He molecular formula mass of this compound is 180 amu . what are the subscripts in the actual molecular formula?

mezya [45]

I can't actually answer this one if the empirical formula is not given. Luckily, I've found a similar problem from another website. The problem is shown in the picture attached. It shows that the empirical formula is CH₂O. Let's calculate the molar mass of the empirical formula.

Molar mass of E.F = 12 + 2(1) + 16 = 30 g/mol

Then, let's divide this to the molar mass of the molecular formula.
Molar mass of M.F/Molar mass of E.F = 180/30 = 6

Therefore, let's multiply 6 to each subscript in the empirical formula to determine the actual molecular formula.
<em>Actual molecular formula = C₆H₁₂O₆</em>
