Answer: Potassium hydroxide, KOH, is considered a <u>BASE</u> in an acid-base reaction because it <u>ACCEPTS</u> a hydrogen ion from the other reactant.
According to Brønsted–Lowry acid–base theory, Base is a specie which accepts proton (H⁺) while, Acid is a specie which donate proton.
Bases may contain a negative charge or lone pair of electrons, while, Acids contain positive charge or a neutral atom with incomplete octet.
In given statement KOH is acting as a base because it contains a negatively charged hydroxyl group which can accept proton from a acid, i.e.
KOH → K⁺ + OH⁻
Reaction of OH⁻ with any acid,
K⁺ + OH⁻ + HCl → H₂O + KCl
1. Convert the number of moles to number of particles (divide 6.41 by 6.022 x 10^23)
2. K2O dissociates into three ions (2 potassium ions and 1 oxide ion), so multiply the result from step 1 by 3 to get your answer
When we can get the Kinetic energy from this formula KE= 1/2 M V^2and we can get the potential energy from this formula PE = M g H
we can set that the kinetic energy at the bottom of the fall equals the potential energy at the top so, KE = PE
1/2 MV^2 = M g H
1/2 V^2 = g H
when V is the velocity, g is an acceleration of gravitational force (9.8 m^2/s) and H is the height of the fall (8 m).
∴ v^2 = 2 * 9.8 * 8 = 156.8
∴ v= √156.8 = 12.5 m/s
