Water behaves as a base in this reaction.
The Bronsted-Lowry definition is applied, because the reaction involves the transfer of H+ from one reactant to the other.
A Bronsted-Lowry base is defined as a substance that accepts a proton.
Because water gains a proton to form H3O+ in this particular reaction, it acts as a base
5.58 X
Litres is the volume, in liters, occupied by 0.015 molecules of oxygen at STP.
Explanation:
Data given:
molecules of oxygen = 0.015
number of moles of oxygen =?
temperature at STP = 273 K
Pressure at STP = 1 atm
volume = ?
R (gas constant) = 0.08201 L atm/mole K
to convert molecules to moles,
number of moles = 
number of moles = 2.49 x 
Applying the ideal gas law since the oxygen is at STP,
PV = nRT
rearranging the equation:
V = 
putting the values in the rearranged equation:
V = 
V = 5.58 X
Litres.
