A. Sugar... Because the others are mixes of things and combinations. Sugar is pure and on its own.

I hope this helps!

Mila [183]

Answer:

Their average kinetic energy increases

Explanation:

The average kinetic energy of the rice molecules increases as the pot is left on the cooking stove.

Heat is transferred to the pot by conduction from the heat source. The heat is then transferred to the rice in the cooking pot by convection.

As the water in the pot heats up.
The rice gains thermal energy.
This causes the molecules of the rice particles to start vibrating.
As the molecules vibrate about their fixed position, their thermal energy continues to increase.
Therefore, the amount of heat absorbed by the rice increases with time and this actually cooks the food.

Which of the following pairs lists a substance that can neutralize H2SO4 and the salt that would be produced from the reaction?

Bogdan [553]

The second option only.

LiOH, Li₂SO₄.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

A base neutralizes an acid when the two reacts to produce water and a salt.

Sulfuric acid H₂SO₄ is the acid here. There are more than one classes of bases that can neutralize H₂SO₄. Among the options, there are:

Metal hydroxides

Ca(OH)₂ and
LiOH.

Metal hydroxides react with sulfuric acid to produce water and the sulfate salt of the metal.

$\text{Ca}(\text{OH})_{\bf 2}+\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \to \textbf{Ca}\textbf{SO}_{\bf 4} +{\bf 2}\;\text{H}_2\text{O}$ .

The formula for calcium sulfate $\text{CaSO}_4$ in option A is spelled incorrectly. Why? The charge on each calcium $\text{Ca}^{2+}$ is +2. The charge on each sulfate ion ${\text{SO}_4}^{2-}$ is -2. Unlike $\text{Li}^{+}$ ions, it takes only one $\text{Ca}^{2+}$ ion to balance the charge on each ${\text{SO}_4}^{2-}$ ion. As a result, $\text{Ca}^{2+}$ and ${\text{SO}_4}^{2-}$ ions in calcium sulfate exist on a 1:1 ratio.

$2\;\text{LiOH} +\text{H}_2\text{SO}_4 \to \text{Li}_2\text{SO}_4 + 2\;\text{H}_2\text{O}$ .

Ammonia, NH₃

Ammonia NH₃ can also act as a base and neutralize acids. NH₃ exists as NH₄OH in water:

$\text{NH}_3 + \text{H}_2\text{O} \to \textbf{NH}_{\bf 4}\text{OH}$ .

The ion ${\text{NH}_4}^{+}$ acts like a metal cation. Similarly to the metal hydroxides, NH₃ (or NH₄OH) neutralizes H₂SO₄ to produce water and a salt:
