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:

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

The formula of the salt (NH₄)₂SO₄ in the fourth option spelled the ammonium ion incorrectly.

As part of the salt (NH₄)₂SO₄, the ammonium ion NH₄⁺ is one of the products of this reaction and can't neutralize H₂SO₄ any further.

How much energy is required to evaporate grams of water?.
gregori [183]

Answer:

energy known as the latent heat of vaporization is required to break the hydrogen bonds. At 100 °C, 540 calories per gram of water are needed to convert one gram of liquid water to one gram of water vapour under normal pressure.

Explanation:energy known as the latent heat of vaporization is required to break the hydrogen bonds. At 100 °C, 540 calories per gram of water are needed to convert one gram of liquid water to one gram of water vapour under normal pressure.

Many people have a tendency to think that heat and temperature are the same thing. However, this is not true. Heat describes A.
enyata [817]

The correct answer is actually  

B) energy that flows from warmer objects to cooler objects.

because temperature is a measure of the average amount of energy possessed by an object due to the random motions of its particles.  Heat is the energy that flows from warmer objects to cooler objects. Heat cannot flow in the opposite direction.

What process is used to refine aluminum from its ore bauxite?
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

D. Smelting

Explanation:

Bauxite is the aluminum ore from which alumina, also known as aluminum oxide, Al₂O₃, is produced. Bauxite is extracted from the topsoil regions of some subtropical and tropical regions, and the Bayer process is primarily then used to produce alumina from the bauxite.

Aluminum is produced from the alumina by an aluminum smelting process known as the Hall—Heroult electrolytic process which involves the use of a carbon anode and direct current to produce aluminum by reducing the aluminum oxide

A solution of potassium hydroxide reacts completely with a solution of nitric acid. What solid mixture does it create?
KIM [24]

Answer:

\boxed{\text{KNO}_{3}}

Explanation:

The reaction is

KOH(aq) + HNO₃(aq) ⟶ KNO₃(aq) + H₂O(ℓ)

If you evaporate the water, the solid substance is the compound, potassium nitrate.

\boxed{\textbf{KNO}_{3}}

KNO₃(aq) ⟶ KNO₃(s)
