How many moles of base are needed to neutralize 2 mol of acid for HNO3 plus KOH?
Since both the acid and the base have equivalent weights equal to their formula weights, 2 moles of KOH are needed to neutralize 2 moles of nitric acid.
How many amino acids are there if you have 1500 base pairs?
There are three base pairs in each amino acid. If you have 1500 base pairs you would have 500 amino acids.
Tells how many times the base is used as a factor?
The exponent tells us how many times the base is used as a factor.
What is it called that a base is used as a factor?
The exponent tells how many times the base is used as a factor.
Number of times the base is used as a factor?
The exponent shows how many times the base is used as a factor.
What is the name of an acid that donates two hydrogen ions?
There are many such acids including sulfuric acid, sulfurus acid hydrogen sulfide.
Is solution with four times as many hydronium ions hydroxide ions a acid base or a neutral?
acid
What general name is given to solution that have many more hydrogen ions than hydroxide ions?
A solution with a greater concentration of hydrogen ion (H+) than hydroxide ion (OH-) is an acid while the inverse would be a base.
Why is a acid called a acid?
They are acidic due to hydrogen ions. The more hydrogen ions converted from the original solution there are the more acidic it will be. For example Hydrochloric Acid converts more hydrogen ions from (hydrogen + water + chloride) solution than citric acid does from its respective solution...
Is hydrogen basic or acidic?
Elemental hydrogen gas, H2, is neutral. Although hydrogen is the main factor in determining if a substance is a base or an acid; Acids have H+ ions and depending on how many there are determines th strength of them. Bases on the other hand base them selves around OH-(hydroxyl) ions and once again the more of these ions present the stronger the substance basicity is.
What does it mean if an acid or base is ''weak''?
it means that the acid or the base doesn't completely dissociate when placed in water. Let's take a weak acid. HNO2. When placed in water, not all of the HNO2 molecules will break apart. The ions in the solution will be H+, NO2-, and HNO2. Because there are less ions in the solution, the acid/base is weak. Not all of the HNO2 will break apart! A strong acid will completely dissociate. That means if you place HCl in water, the ions will be H+, and Cl-, NO HCl. This is because once they break apart, the chlorine will stay apart from the hydrogen. This leaves many ions in the solution, making the acid/base strong.
What type of ion do acids form in solution?
Not simple to answer - acidic solutions contain more hydrogen ions that hydroxide ions, but there are very many ions that can cause hydrogen ions to be in excess - for instance the hydrogen-sulphate ion (from an acid salt such as sodium hydrogen-sulphate) when added to water has a tendancy to split into hydrogen and sulphate ions, so making the solution acidic. Not all acid salts are acid in soultion - for instance sodium hydrogen-carbonate is alkaline. When dissolved in water, the hydrogen-carbonate ion tends to react with hydrogen ions in the water to form molecular carbonic acid - removing hydrogen ions from the water and hence making it alkaline. Acid salts of strong acids, such as sulphuric, hydrochloric, nitric, are acidic in solution. Acid salts of weak acids, such as carbonic, sulphurous, are alkaline in solution. Just a few simple examples.
Does an acid contain one or more hydroxide ions?
An acidic solution contains many more H+ ions than OH- ions, and a basic solution has more OH- than H+. A pure water solution, which is neutral, has exactly equal number of each.
Definition of a base?
A base is a substance in a solution that captures hydrogen ions and raises the pH.
Do acidic solutions give some or many hydrogen ions?
The more acidic a solution is, the more hydrogen ions it gives off.
Is C5H5NHBr an acid or base?
Benzene is neither an acid or a base, but it reacts with many organic compounds to form fun things like Cocaine and Methamphetamine!
Do all fruit have citric acid?
It's a very weak acid as the chemicals that have acidic properties in a fruit juice are in very low concentrations. An acid is a chemical in which it's molecule let's go of a hydrogen ion / an acid is a proton donator (hydrogen ions are protons)
