Best Answer

The products of a base (B-) reaction with water (H2O) are: the conjugate acid of the base (BH+) and a hydroxide ion (OH-) which causes the resulting solution to be basic (pH >7).

What is the effect of a Cannizzaro reaction?

The effect of a Cannizzaro reaction involves the attack of hydroxide. This results in an attack on another molecule, which results in the exchange of a proton.


Is sodium borohydride acidic or basic?

Basic because when sodium borohydride is placed in water, the sodium ion and the borohydride ion split, borohydride abstracts a proton (in the form of H+) from a water molecule.

Nuclear fusion in sun is followed by proton proton chain reaction during this reaction hydrogen fused to form helium the main products of this reaction according to nuclear equation is - positron, neutrino, gamma ray photons, isotopes of hydrogen and helium


Why a hydrogen atom can become either an ion or a part of a molecule?

Hydrogen only has one proton ,so it can pass that one proton onto another element, making it part of a molecule. It can become an ion if it loses that proton, or gains that proton.


Is a proton an organic molecule?

No. A proton is a subatomic particle, and a component of atoms. Atoms are components of molecules. An organic molecule must contain carbon atoms.


Which particle is smaller a proton molecule atom or nucleus?

A proton is smaller than a nucleus, which is smaller than an atom, which is again smaller than a molecule.


Which type of isomerism show shifting of proton also give suitable example?

Tautomeric isomerism shows the shifting of a proton. This occurs when a compound can rapidly interconvert between two forms by moving a proton. For example, the keto-enol tautomeric isomerism of cyclohexane-1,3-dione, which can exist as both a keto form and an enol form by interchanging the positions of the hydrogen atom and the double bond.

What determines the extent to which a proton-transfer reaction occurs?

The weaker acid and base determine the extent to which a proton-transfer reaction occurs. Acid base reactions are called proton transfers.
