Answer:
The smallest constituent of an element is termed as an atom. According to Jaiden, an atom comprises two subatomic particles and three prime parts, however, this is incorrect as an atom comprises three subatomic particles and two main parts. The three subatomic particles are the protons, electrons, and neutrons. All these parts are smaller in comparison to an atom, thus, they are considered as subatomic particles.
To be considered as an atom, an atom is needed only electrons and neutrons, like hydrogen exhibit one electron and one proton. On the other hand, the overall charge of the atom is not affected by the presence of neutrons, it is the subatomic particle that only enhances the mass of the atom.
Answer:
Arrhenius acid & Bronsted-Lowry acid
Explanation:
Explanation:
The solution of the lactic acd and sodium lactate is referred to as a buffer solution.
A buffer solution is an aqueous solution consisting of a mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base, or vice versa. In this case, the weak acid is the lactic acid and the conjugate base is the sodium lactate.
Buffer solutions are generally known to resist change in pH values.
When a strong base (in this case, NaOH) is added to the buffer, the lactic acid will give up its H+ in order to transform the base (OH-) into water (H2O) and the conjugate base, so we have:
HA + OH- → A- + H2O.
Since the added OH- is consumed by this reaction, the pH will change only slightly.
The NaOH reacts with the weak acid present in the buffer sollution.
