How does Arrhenius describe acids and bases?

Chemistry

As defined by Arrhenius:

An Arrhenius acid is a substance that dissociates in water to form hydrogen ions (H+). In other words, an acid increases the concentration of H+ ions in an aqueous solution. This protonation of water yields the hydronium ion (H3O+); in modern times, H+ is used as a shorthand for H3O+ because it is now known that a bare proton (H+) does not exist as a free species in aqueous solution.

An Arrhenius base is a substance that dissociates in water to form hydroxide (OH–) ions. In other words, a base increases the concentration of OH– ions in an aqueous solution.

Hope this helps!

Explanation:

According to Arrhenius concept:

An acid is defined as a substance which donates hydronium ions (H_3O^+) in water.

HA(aq)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow A^-(aq)+H_3O^+(aq)

For example: hydrochloric acid , nitric acid etc.

HCl(aq)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow Cl^-(aq)+H_3O^+(aq)

HNO_3(aq)+H_2O(l)\rightarrow NO_3^{-}(aq)+H_3O^+(aq)

A base is defined as a substance which donates hydroxide ions (OH^-) when dissolved in water.

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

For example: sodium hydroxide, calcium hydroxide etc.

NaOH(aq)\rightarrow Na^+(aq)+OH^-(aq)

Ca(OH)_2(aq)\rightarrow Ca^{2+}(aq)+2OH^-(aq)

sesenic [268]

Answer:

91.2 nm

Explanation:

The Rydberg equation is given by the formula

     1/ λ  = Rh ( 1/ n₁² - 1/ n₂²)

where

λ is the wavelength

Rh is Rydberg constant

and n₁ and n₂ are the energy levels of the transion.

We can see from this equation that the wavelength is inversely proportional to the difference of the squares of the inverse of the quantum numbers n₁ and n₂. It follows then that the smallest wavelength will be given when the the transitions are between the greatest separation between n₁ and n₂ whicg occurs when n1= 1 and n₂= ∞ , that is the greater the separation in energy levels the shorter the wavelength.

Substituting for n₁ and n₂ and solving for λ :

  1/λ = 1.0974 x 10⁷ m⁻¹ x ( 1/1² -1/ ∞²)  =  1.0974 x 10⁷ m⁻¹ x ( 1/1² - 0) =

  λ = 1/1.0974 x 10⁷ m = 9.1 x 10⁻8 m = 91.2 nm

what are the moon phases. but be more detailed and don't put in "the phases of the moon" in your own words.
Juliette [100K]
As the moon orbits or circles the Earth, the phase changes. We'll start with what is called the New Moon phase. This is where we can't see any of the lit up side of the moon. The moon is between us and the sun (see the picture). As the moon orbits the Earth we can see more and more of the lit up side until finally the moon is on the opposite side of the Earth from the sun and we get a full moon. As the moon continues to orbit the Earth we now see less and less of the lit up side. The phases of the moon starting with the New Moon are: New Moon Waxing Crescent First Quarter Waxing Gibbous Full Waning Gibbous Third Quarter Waning Crescent Dark Moon.

In the following net ionic equation, identify each reactant as either a Bronsted-Lowry acid or a Bronsted-Lowry base.
gizmo_the_mogwai [7]

Answer:

Bronsted lowry base = Proton acceptor = H2O

Bronsted lowry acid = Proton donor = HF-

Explanation:

The equation is given as;

HF-(aq) + H2O(l) --> F-(aq) + H3O(aq)

A bronsted lowry base is any specie that can accept hydrogen ion (proton) from another molecule.

Basically a bronsted lowry base is  a proton acceptor while a bronsted lowry acid is a proton donor.

In the reaction above, upon comparing both the reactants and products;

Bronsted lowry base = Proton acceptor = H2O

Bronsted lowry acid = Proton donor = HF-

Plz answer 15 points both 8 and 9 please <br>thanks:)

1the carrier would be 3 as to the the yes and the no differ from 2 which would mean they are the same, but if you  take three , you have  more equal  signal, giving it a better digital quality
