Answer:
b) Baking soda
Explanation:
Baking soda is sodium hydrogen carbonate, NaHCO₃.
It reacts with water according to the equation
NaHCO₃ + H₂O ⇌ H₂CO₃ + NaOH
Thus, baking soda is a base because it increases the concentration of hydroxide ions in water.
<em>Water</em> is <em>neutral</em>.
<em>Lemon juice</em> is an <em>acid</em> because it contains citric acid.
An <em>insulator </em>is a substance that does not conduct electricity. Insulators are <em>neither acidic nor basic</em>.
Argon has 24 known isotopes.
1) Preliminar explanation:
Atoms are neutral spieces: they have the same number of positive charges (protons inside the nucleous) as of negative charges (electrons around the nucleus).
Ions are formed by the gain or loss of electrons.
Positive ions are formed when neutral the atoms lose electrons, and negative ions are formed when neutral atoms gain electrons. Only the elctrons are gain or loss in ions formation (the number of protons remain unchanged).
2) Conclusion (answer)
Therefore, mathematically an ion is the result of adding or subtracting electrons to an atom, creating an imbalance of charge, positve when the atom ends up with less electrons than protons (loss of electrons) or negative when the atoms ends up with more electrons than protons (gain of electrons).
Explanation:
b and c are true statements
A straight-chain alkane differs from a cycloalkane in such a way that the straight-chain has more hydrogen than the cycloalkane. In this case, straight-chain has two more Hydrogen atoms than the cyclic alkane. Basically, they differ in the number of hydrogen atoms attached to the carbon. Straight-chain Alkane has a formula CnH2n+2 while cyclic alkane follows CnH2n.
