Why Adding concentrated acid to water is exothermic?
The hydration of protons is exotherm, being an attraction of polar water molecules and (small, postive) H+ ions (protons)
What is formed in the neutralization reaction between a strong acid and a strong base?
Water molecules are formed as a result of the reaction between hydrogen and hydroxyl ions.
Why a strong aqueous acid produces many ions but few molecules?
The acid is dissociated in water in ions and doesn't produce molecules.
What are molecules that dissociate in water releasing hydrogen ions?
HCl (hydrochloric acid)
How does nitrogen react with water?
Nitrous acid and Water reaction produces ions, but there is still molecules of this acid in the water solution. But a strong acid like hydrochloric acid completely breaks into ions, and there is no molecules of this acid in water. Here is the equation: HNO2 + H2O ----> H3O+ + NO2-

What happens to most of the molecules of a strong acid when the acid is mixed with water?
the molecules are donated to water molecules. if a little of the acid remains after it is added to water, then it is a strong acid. if a lot remains, then it is a weak acid. same goes for bases.

What kind of solution do all the molecules of an acid break apart in water?
When an acid dissolves in water, the molecules of the acid break apart into ions. Specifically, the acid molecules donate protons (H+ ions) to the water molecules, resulting in the formation of hydronium ions (H3O+) and negatively charged ions from the acid. This process is called ionization or dissociation.
How are amino acid molecules and fatty acid molecules the same?
amino acid molecules are water soluble meaning they cannot enter the cell. Fatty acid molecules CAN enter the cell.
How do fatty acid molecules differ from amino acid molecule?
amino acid molecules are water soluble meaning they cannot enter the cell. Fatty acid molecules CAN enter the cell.
Why benzoic acid soluble in ethyl acetate?
dipole-dipole attraction with Ethyl acetate molecules would overcome the H-bond attraction between Benzoic Acid molecules due to ratio of the non-polar to polar portion of the benzoic acid molecules to its polar
What is it called when all of the molecules of an acid break apart in water?
This is a strong acid.

Why a strong aqueous acid produces many ions but few molecules?
The acid is dissociated in water in ions and doesn't produce molecules.
How many water molecules will be removed to form a fat composed of 3 fatty acids and 1 glycerol molecule?
Three water molecules will be removed to form a triglyceride composed of three fatty acid chains and one glycerol molecule. One molecule of water is removed for each bond between a fatty acid and the glycerol molecule, for a total of three water molecules removed.
In what kind of solution do all the molecules of an acid break apart in water?
strong acid
