Select the correct answer. Which statement describes the acid found in vinegar (acetic acid)? A. It tastes bitter. B. It feels slippery. C. It changes red litmus paper to blue. D. It reacts with Mg to produce H2. E. It releases OH- in a solution.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

The acetic acid, (CH_(3)COOH) present in vinegar reacts wit magnesium and therefore, it releases hydrogen gas and magnesium acetate.

The chemical reaction will be as follows.

       2CH_(3)COOH + 2Mg \rightarrow 2Mg(CH_(3)COO) + H_(2)

An acid is a substance which has pH less than 7 and changes blue litmus red. Acids taste sour as they are acidic in nature and releases hydrogen ions.

Whereas bases have pH greater than 7 and changes red litmus into blue.Bases taste bitter and releases hydroxide ions.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement it reacts with Mg to produce H_(2) best describes the acid found in vinegar (acetic acid).

Answer 2
Answer:

Answer:

D. It reacts with Mg to produce H2.

Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson all approved of the United States backing the South Vietnamese in their civil war.a. True
b. False

Answers

A. true.

The statement that Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson all approved of the United States backing the South Vietnamese in their civil war is absolutely true. After the communist North Vietnam got her Independence in 1954, there began a civil war in South Vietnam. The communist insurgents backed by North Vietnam turned against the South Vietnam government. So US supplied its soldiers in South Vietnam to suppress the communist insurgents and the move was approved by Eisenhower, Kennedy, and Johnson.

Which is a product of a condensation reaction? 1. O2 2. CO2 3. H2 4. H2O

Answers

The correct answer is H2O, it is a product of a condensation reaction. It is a type of chemical reaction where two molecules combine to form a larger molecule together with a loss of a small molecule. Usually, this small molecule is water.

Answer:

H_(2)O is a product of a condensation reaction.

Explanation:

In a condensation reaction, two molecules are combined to produced a large molecules along with removal of a water molecule.

For an example, let's consider aldol condensation reaction.

In aldol condensation reaction, an enolate anion reacts and combines with an aldehyde or ketone molecule follwed by dehydration. In that dehydration step  , H_(2)O gets removed and an unsaturated carbonyl product is formed.

Usually, O_(2),CO_(2) and H_(2) are produced as a by product of a decomposition reaction.

Electronegativities of the elements Na, Al, P, and Cl follow a specific trend across the period. Based on this trend, an electron will be most strongly attracted toNa.
Al.
P.
Cl.

Answers

Based on the trend, an electron will be most strongly attracted to Cl, chlorine. The correct option is D.

What is electronegativity?

Electronegativity is a property of an element which show the tendency of that element to accept electrons from other element. When an atom accept electrons, it gets a negative charge, the charge increase with the increase of accepting number of electrons.

Chlorine is a gas and is highly acidic. It has the highest electronegativity because it has the highest tendency to form a covalent bond with other element.

Chlorine has seven electrons in its outer shell, and it needs only one electron to complete its octave equal to the noble gas configuration.

Thus, the correct option is D. Cl.

Answer:

Cl

Explanation:

The electronegativity follow the trend that the higher the element is the more electronegative he is, for exemplo, in F, Cl and Br are all from the same group, 17A, put F has the lowest atomic number, followed by Cl and Br is the last, because of that F is the more electronegative from them, followed for Cl and Br is the element with lowest electronegativity.

And this trend also says that the element that are on the right of the table will have the higher electronegativity, for exemplo F, K and Be, all of the will have electron on the second band of valence but F is for the group 17A, K is from the 1A and Be is form the 2A. Because of that F is, one again, the one with the highest electronegativity followed by Be and K is the one with the lowest electronegativity of them all.

If 2.27 moles of bromine react with excess phosphorus, how many moles of phosphorus tribromide will be produced

Answers

Answer:

The answer to your question is 1.51 moles of PBr₃

Explanation:

Data

moles of Br = 2.27

moles of PBr₃ = x

Balanced chemical reaction

                   2P   +   3Br₂  ⇒   2PBr₃

             Reactant      Element     Products

                   2                  P                 2

                   6                  Br                6

-Use proportions to find the answer

              3 moles of Br₂ ------------------  2 moles of PBr₃

         2.27 moles of Br₂ ------------------  x

               x = (2.27 x 2) / 3

               x = 4.54 / 3

              x = 1.51 moles
