A salt
When zinc reacts with water, it forms zinc hydroxide and hydrogen gas. The reaction rate depends on the presence of acids or other ions in the water.
This is true. Generally an acid is considered a substance that releases a hydrogen ion (H+) in solution or gives one up to another molecule or ion. However, not all hydrogen compounds will release a hydrogen ion. Hydrocarbons (such as methane, CH4 and benzene, C6H6), compounds of carbon and hydrogen, are generally not considered acidic. Some hydrogen compounds are basic, meaning that they produce hydroxide ions (OH-) in water or accept a hydrogen ion from another compound. Examples of basic include ammonia (NH3), potassium hydroxide (KOH), and sodium hydride (NaH). Sodium hydride actually contains the hydride ion (H-), which is highly basic.
Any Arrhenius base will produce the OH- ion. Ammonia is a common example. Example- NH3(g) + H2O(l) -> NH4+(aq) + OH−(aq) Other examples include: natural dissociation of water: H2O -> OH- + H3O+ sodium hydroxide: NaOH(s)->Na+(aq)+OH-(aq)
Hydrogen and oxygen are already elements. Elements do not contain other elements.
Yes, potassium hydroxide is an inorganic compound. Inorganic compounds are typically made up of elements other than carbon, and potassium hydroxide consists of the elements potassium, hydrogen, and oxygen.
Hydrogen is a colourless gas at ordinary temperatures and pressures. It's also an element that combines with many other elements, for example, oxygen, to form water. The element sodium, a metal, can combine with hydrogen and oxygen to form sodium hydroxide. But other metals (and other things) form hydroxides too. Sodium hydroxide is NaOH where Na is sodium, O is oxygen and H is hydrogen. It's the OH part that's the hydroxide. In NH4OH, ammonium hydroxide, which is often used in dilute form for cleaning windows, that OH also stands for hydroxide. The OH is something that sticks together in many ways.
An example of an Arrhenius base is potassium hydroxide (KOH) as it dissociates in water to produce hydroxide ions. Other examples include calcium carbonate (CaCO3), ammonia (NH3), and sodium hydroxide (NaOH). Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is an example of an Arrhenius acid as it dissociates in water to produce hydrogen ions.
When ammonia and hydrogen peroxide react, they form a compound called ammonium hydroxide and water. This reaction releases heat and can produce oxygen gas as a byproduct.
Potassium hydroxide solutions are typically used in hydrogen generators. Many other electrolytes, such as sodium chloride, will produce other products (in the cause of NaCl, chlorine gas) which can destroy the system. Sodium hydroxide can also be used, but some sources report that KOH solutions are more conductive. In either case, these electrolytes will provide a very conductive solution without producing undesirable byproducts. A 10% w/v solution of either of these compounds should be satisfactory.
Bleach and ammonia are not salts; they are chemical compounds. Bleach typically refers to sodium hypochlorite or hydrogen peroxide, while ammonia is a compound of nitrogen and hydrogen (NH₃). Milk of magnesia, on the other hand, is a suspension of magnesium hydroxide, which is a salt formed from magnesium and hydroxide ions. Therefore, only milk of magnesia can be classified as a salt, while bleach and ammonia are distinct chemical compounds.
An organic molecule will always contain carbon and hydrogen depending on the molecule it might also contain hydroxide, oxygen nitrogen, chlorine, and other chemicals depending on the organic compound for example sugar is C6 H12 O6. More complex organic compounds will have more Carbon and hydrogen and other chemicals.
well hydrogen itself is not a compound, it is an element. But hydrogen is mixed with many other elements to make compounds such as water h2o. hope this helps
