In a bronsted lowry proton transfer reaction, the hydroxide functions as a/an <u>proton acceptor.</u>

Bases are the opposite of acids. Bases are basic since they take or accept protons. For example, a Hydroxide ion can accept a proton to form water.

Answer:

Base

Explanation:

A Brønsted-Lowry acid is simply a compound that supplies a hydrogen ion in a reaction. A Brønsted-Lowry base on the other hand, is a compound that accepts a hydrogen ion in a reaction.

Thus, the Brønsted-Lowry definitions of an acid and a base focus on the movement of hydrogen ions in a reaction, rather than on the production of hydrogen ions and hydroxide ions in an aqueous solution.

The hydroxide ion in these compounds accepts a proton (Hydrogen ion) from acids to form water: This means shydroxides functions as a base.

Answer:

Phenols do not exhibit the same pka values as other alcohols;

They are generally more acidic.

Using the knowledge that hydrogen acidity is directly related to the stability of the anion formed, explain why phenol is more acidic than cyclohexane.

Explanation:

According to Bromsted=Lowry acid-base theory,

an acid is a substance that can release $H^{+}$ ions when dissolved in water.

So, acid is a proton donor.

If the conjugate base of an acid is more stable then, that acid is a strong acid.

In the case of phenol,

the phenoxide ion formed is stabilized by resonance.

$C_6H_5OH -> C_6H_5O^- +H^+$

The resonance in phenoxide ion is shown below:

Whereas in the case of cyclohexanol resonance is not possible.

So, cyclohexanol is a weak acid compared to phenol.

The half-life for beta decay of strontium-90 is 28.8 years. a milk sample is found to contain 10.3 ppm strontium-90. how many ye

ryzh [129]

Answer : The correct answer is 96.68 yrs

Radioactivity Decay :

it is a process in which a nucleus of unstable atom emit energy in form of radiations like alpha particle , beta particle etc .

Radioactive decay follows first order kinetics , so its rate , rate constant , amount o isotopes can be calculated using first order equations .

The first order equation for radioactive decay can be expressed as :

$ln \frac{N}{N_0} = - k*t$ ----------- equation (1)

Where : N = amount of radioisotope after time "t"

N₀ = Initial amount of radioisotope

k = decay constant and t = time

Following steps can be used to find time :

1) To find deacy constant :

Decay constant can be calculated using half life . Decay constant and half life can be related as :

$T _\frac{1}{2} = \frac{ln2}{k}$ ---------equation (2)

Given : Half life of Strontium -90 = 28.8 years

Plugging value of $T_\frac{1}{2}$ in above formula (equation 2) :

$28.8 yrs = \frac{ln 2}{ k }$

Multiply both side by k

$28.8 yrs * k = \frac{ln 2 }{k} * k$

Dividing both side by 28.8 yrs

$\frac{28.8 yrs * k}{28.8 yrs} = \frac{ln 2}{28.8 yrs}$

(ln 2 = 0.693 )

k = 0.0241 yrs⁻¹

Step 2 : To find time :

Given : N₀ = 10.3 ppm N = 1.0 ppm k = 0.0241 yrs⁻¹

Plugging these value in equation (1) as :

$ln (\frac{1.0 ppm}{10.3 ppm} ) = - 0.0241 yrs^-^1 * t$

$ln (0.0971 ) = -0.0241 yrs ^-^1 * t$

(ln 0.0971 = - 2.33 )

Dividing both side by - 0.0241 yrs⁻¹

$\frac{-2.33}{-0.0241 yrs^-^1} = \frac{-0.0241 yrs^-^1 * t}{-0.0241 yrs^-^1}$

t = 96.68 yrs

Hence the concentration of Strontium-90 will drop from 10.3 ppm to 1.0 ppm is 96.68 yrs

How many moles in .5g of sodium bromide?

Genrish500 [490]

I'm not sure how many sign fig's you are required to have.
However I think the final answer would be 0.05 Moles, because of the .5g, that is considered 1 sign fig.
