Answer:
base
Explanation:
carbonic acid - H2CO3 - is a weak acid. Therefore, HCO3 itself is its conjugate base. The Na(sodium) ion is neutral.
This means that NaHCO3 is a base. (a weak one)
Answer:
(a) O = Valance Electrons (6), Inner electrons (8)
(b) Sn = Valance Electrons (2), Inner electrons (36)
(c) Ca = Valance Electrons (2), Inner electrons (20)
(d) Fe = Valance Electrons (2), Inner electrons (26)
(e) Se = Valance Electrons (6), Inner electrons (34)
Answer:
If the pKa of the acid is low (negative), then the acid is strong.
Explanation:
Ka, <em>the acid ionization constant, </em>measures the strength of an acid in a solution. Stronger acids have higher Ka values.
We defined: pKa = -log[Ka]
This function is a decreasing function, meaning that pKa will be getting smaller and smaller, while increasing Ka (high values of Ka will have negative pKa values). Therefore, stronger acids (high values of Ka), will have low (negative) pKa values.
Answer:
Increasing the surface area of the reactants
Explanation:
An increase in surface area of the reactant will always cause an increase in the rate of reaction. This is so because, an increase in the surface area of the reactant will cause the reactant particles to collide effectively thereby bringing about an increase in the reaction rate.
Collision theory suggests that for a reaction to occur, the reactant particles must collide with the right orientation. As the surface area of the reactants are increased, the reactants particles collide more with the right orientation bringing about definite increase in the rate of reaction.
