Concept explainers
(a)
Interpretation:
The balanced equation for formation of dihydrogen phosphate from Phosphoric acid in water should be explained.
Concept Introduction:
The law of conservation of mass states that no atoms can be created or destroyed in a
Bronsted Acid: An acid donates (loses)
Bronsted Base: A base accepts (gains)
(b)
Interpretation:
The net ionic equation for the ionization of dihydrogen phosphate in water and the nature of the dihydrogen phosphate should be explained.
Concept Introduction:
The law of conservation of mass states that no atoms can be created or destroyed in a chemical reaction, therefore, the number of atoms present in the reactants is equal to the number of atoms present in the products.
Bronsted acid: An acid donates (loses)
Bronsted Base: A base accepts (gains)
Amphiprotic substance: An amphiprotic substance is a substance that can donate or accept a proton.

Each of the tablets is expected to contain about 0.32 g of HC9H7O4. What molarity of NaOH(aq) should we use for titration volumes of about 23 mL? HC9H7O4(aq) + OH-(aq) C9H7O4-(aq) + H2O(l)arrow_forward(A) if both sentences are true,(B) if both sentences are false,(C) if the first sentence is true but the second is false, and(D) if the first sentence is false but the second is true. 1. In a redox reaction, the oxidation number of iron changed from +2 to +3; thus, sulfur is a reducing agent. In a redox reaction, the oxidation number of nitrogen was unchanged; thus, nitrogen is an oxidant. 2. In a redox reaction, the reducing agent is oxidized and it gains electrons. In a redox reaction, the oxidizing agent is reduced and it gains electrons. 3. Bending stress is also known as flexural stress. The test used in observing the mechanical strength of chocolate is the three-point bend test. 4. The flexural strength of materials may be expressed in Pascals. Magnesium is more reactive than silver; therefore, magnesium corrodes faster than silver with the aid of air, oxygen, and sea water.arrow_forward
