Answer:

accepts an H⁺

Explanation:

The following balanced ionic equation is given in this question;

HCl + H₂O → H₃O⁺ + Cl⁻

According to Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory, a base is any substance that can accept hydrogen ions or protons (H+). Using this definition for the above equation, water (H2O) accepts a proton or H+ that was donated by HCl to form H30+ (hydronium ion), hence, water is acting as a BASE in this reaction because it accepts an H+.

How would you write and name the ions for tin?
Yakvenalex [24]
For Single Element Ions (e.g. K+ , Mg2+, P3-) To name positive (+) ions write the name as from the Periodic Table and add the word 'ion' afterwards. To name negative (-) ions write the name from the Periodic Table but replace the ending with 'ide'. Put the word 'ion' after the name.

Calculate the mass of butane needed to produce 71.9 g of carbon dioxide.
Naily [24]

<u>1) balanced chemical equation</u>

2\ C_{4}H_{10}_{(g)}\ +\ 13\ O_{2}_{(g)}\ ->\ 10\ H_{2}O_{(g)}\ +\ 8\ CO_{2}_{(g)}

<u>2) convert mass of CO₂ to moles</u>

=71.9g\ CO_{2}\ x\ \frac{1\ mol\ CO_{2}}{44.01g\ CO_{2}} \\\\=1.633719609

<u>3) multiply by molar ratio</u>

<u />

<u />=1.633719609\ mol\ CO_{2}\ x\ \frac{2\ mol\ C_{4}H_{10}}{8\ mol\ CO_{2}}\\\\=0.4084299023

4) convert moles of C₄H₁₀ to mass

=0.4084299023\ mol\ C_{4}H_{10}\ x\ \frac{58.14g\ C_{4}H_{10}}{1\ mol\ C_{4}H_{10}}\\\\=23.74611452

= 23.7 grams of C₄H₁₀ is needed to produce 71.9 grams of CO₂

Where does the peak intensity need to fall on the spectrum for a very intense star?
viva [34]

Answer:

Gamma range

Explanation:

A very intense start is a bright star at very high temperature. Now, hotter the object shorter is the wavelength of peak radiation. The increasing order of wavelength of the given regions in the electromagnetic spectrum are:

gamma range < ultra violet < visible < infrared

Ideally, since the shortest wavelength based on the given options is the gamma range, the peak intensity can also be expected to fall at that wavelength. If the star spectrum was recorded in the UV-visible range of the EM spectrum, then it would fall in the UV range

What type of information can one obtain by taking a mass spectrum of an organic molecule like dodecane?
Furkat [3]
Mass spectrum of Dodecane will give following information.

1 ) Molecular Peak or Parent Peak:
                                                       The Parent peak will appear at m/z = 170. The intensity of this peak will be very weak.

2) Fragments:
                      Usually the fragments of such long chain alkanes appear with spacing of 14 amu, Hence, the peaks in dodecane will be as follow,

         170 - 156 - 142 - 128 - 114 - 100 - 86 - 72 - 58 - 44 - 30 - 16

3) Base Peak:
                     Most probably the Base peak will appear at m/z = 57. This peak is due to the formation of tertiary butyl cation as the intensity mainly depends upon the stability of cation. So this cation might form due to rearrangment giving the intensity of 100%.
