Answer: A substance that produces hydroxide ions when placed in water is base.

Explanation:

Bases are the substance:

Which gives negatively charged hydroxide( $OH^-$ ) ions in aqueous solution.

Which have pH value ranging from 7 to 14.

$BOH(aq)\rightarrow B^+(aq)+OH^-(aq)$

Where as acid gives positively charged hydronium ion( $H^+$ ) in aqueous solution.

A substance that produces hydroxide ions when placed in water is a base. When a base is dissolved in water, the molecule will form into ions and bases produce OH- ions. Meanwhile, acids produce H+ in water.

I need help identifying the type of reactions. Can anyone help?

Eddi Din [679]

Answer:

Reaction 5: Decomposition reaction.

Reaction 6: Single replacement reaction

Reaction 7: Combination reaction.

Reaction 8: Combustion reaction.

Explanation:

Reaction 5: 2KClO₃ → 2KCl + 3O₂.

It is a decomposition reaction.

A decomposition reaction is a type of chemical reaction in which a single compound breaks down into two or more elements or new compounds.

In this reaction: potassium chlorate decomposes into two single components (potassium chloride and oxygen).
So, it is a decomposition reaction.

Reaction 6: Zn + 2HCl → H₂ + ZnCl₂.

It is a single replacement reaction.

A single-replacement reaction, a single-displacement reaction, is a reaction by which one (or more) element(s) replaces an/other element(s) in a compound.
It is most often occur if element is more reactive than the other, thus giving a more stable product.

In this reaction, zinc metal (more active) displaces the hydrogen to form hydrogen gas and zinc chloride, a salt. Zinc reacts quickly with the acid to form bubbles of hydrogen.

Reaction 7: N₂O₅ + H₂O → 2HNO₃.

It is a combination "synthesis" reaction.
A synthesis reaction has two or more reactants and only one product.
In this reaction, dinitrogen pentoxide reacts with water to produce nitric acid.
So, it is considered as a synthetic "combination" reaction.

Reaction 8: 2C₂H₆ + 7O₂ → 4CO₂ + 6H₂O.

It is a combustion reaction.

A combustion reaction is a reaction where hydrocarbon alkane is completely burned in oxygen to produce water and carbon dioxide.

In this reaction 1.0 mole of ethane is burned to give 4.0 moles of carbon dioxide and 6.0 moles of water.

So, it is considered as a combustion reaction.

NikAS [45]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

Classify each element. Note that another term for main group is representative, another term for semi-metal is metalloid, and the inner transition metals are also called the lanthanide and actinide series.

Hf, Am, In, Ta, As, Se, Rn

Answer:

Hafnium and tantalum are transition elements.

Americium is a inner transition element.

Indium, Selenium and Radon are main group elements.

Arsenic is a metalloid.

Explanation:

Main group elements are the elements which belong to s block and p block. They are also known as representative elements.

S-block elements are defined as the elements whose last electron enters s-sub shell. The general electronic configuration of these elements is $ns^{1-2}$

P-block elements are defined as the elements whose last electron enters p-sub shell. The general electronic configuration of these elements is $np^{1-6}$

Metalloids are defined as the elements which show intermediate properties between metals and non-metals. There are 7 metalloids in the periodic table. They are: Boron, Silicon, germanium, Arsenic, Antimony, Tellurium and Polonium.

Transition elements are known as d-block elements. D block elements are defined as the elements whose last electron enters d sub shell. The general electronic configuration of these elements is $[(n-1)d^{1-10}ns^{0-2}]$

Inner transition elements are known as (f block) elements. (F block) elements are defined as the elements whose last electron enters (f subshell). The general electronic configuration of these elements is $[(n-2)f^{1-14}(n-1)d^{0-1}ns^{2}]$ . They are also known as lanthanide and actinide series.

For the given elements:

Option 1: Hf

Hafnium is the 72nd element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Xe]4f^{14}5d^26s^2$

As, the last electron is entering the d subshell, it is a transition element.

Option 2: Am

Americium is the 95th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Rn]5f^{7}6d^07s^2$

As, the last electron is entering the (f subshell), it is a inner transition element.

Option 3: In

Indium is the 49th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Kr]5s^25p^1$

As, the last electron is entering the p subshell, it is a main group element.

Option 4: Ta

Tantalum is the 73rd element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Xe]4f^{14}5d^56s^2$

As, the last electron is entering the d subshell, it is a transition element.

Option 5: As

Arsenic is the 33rd element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Ar]4s^24p^3$

As, the last electron is entering the p subshell, it is a main group element. It shows an intermediate property of metal and non-metal. Thus, it is a metalloid.

Option 6: Se

Selenium is the 34th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Ar]4s^24p^4$

As, the last electron is entering the p subshell, it is a main group element.

Option 7: Rn

Radon is the 86th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of $[Xe]4f^{14}5d^{10}6s^26p^6$

As, the last electron is entering the p subshell, it is a main group element.

Blank + BaCl2 = BaSO4 + 2NaCl

crimeas [40]

The blank is filled by Na₂SO₄, and the complete equation for the double displacement reaction is:

Na₂SO₄ + BaCl₂ = BaSO₄ + 2 NaCl

<h3>What is a double displacement reaction?</h3>

It is a reaction in which both reactants exchange anions and cations.

Let's consider the following incomplete double displacement reaction.

_____ + BaCl₂ = BaSO₄ + 2 NaCl

If we compare the left and right sides, we can see that the missing ions in the left side are Na⁺ and SO₄²⁻. Thus, the missing compound is Na₂SO₄. The complete equation is:

Na₂SO₄ + BaCl₂ = BaSO₄ + 2 NaCl
