Chemistry In Context
- A base is a substance that dissociates in water into one or more ______ ions and one or more ________. a.hydrogen . . . anions b.hydrogen . . . cations c.hydroxide . . . anions d.hydroxide . . . cationsarrow_forwardStudents are often surprised to learn that organic acids, such as acetic acid, contain OH groups. Actually, all oxyacids contain hydroxyl groups. Sulfuric acid, usually written as H2SO4, has the structural formula SO2(OH)2, where S is the central atom. Identify the acids whose structural formulas are shown below. Why do they behave as acids, while NaOH and KOH are bases? a. SO(OH)2 b. ClO2(OH) c. HPO(OH)2arrow_forwardThe nickel(II) ion exists as [Ni(H2O)4]2+ in aqueous solution. Why is this solution acidic? As part of your answer, include a balanced equation depicting what happens when [Ni(H2O)6]2+ interacts with water.arrow_forward
