Michael analyzes a Chemical and determines it is calcium chloride (CaCl). After further tests, Michael declares that calcium chloride is a salt and has no effect on pH.

A. ____ This means that the Chemical Will release:

(A) only H= ions into water.

(B) only OH - ions into water.

(C) Equal amounts of OH- and H+ ions into water.

(D) neither OH- or H+ ions into water.

B. When placed in water, wha ions does this Chemical release?

Respuesta :

Answer:

D  Neither OH- or H+ ions into water,

B Ca2+ and Cl- ions are released.

Explanation:

The salt breaks up into calcium and chloride ions.

Answer:

A)

Solution:

Salt is formed when an acid reacts with a base. We call this reaction as a Neutralization reaction.

For example  

[tex]NaOH+HCl>NaCl+H_2O[/tex]

[tex]CaCl_2[/tex] is formed from a strong base [tex]Ca(OH)_2[/tex] and  strong acid HCl as shown in the Equation

[tex]Ca(OH)_2+2HCl>CaCl_2+2H_2 O[/tex]

[tex]CaCl_2[/tex] is a salt which produces ions [tex]Ca^{2+}[/tex] and [tex]Cl^-[/tex] ions into water

So the Answer is option D

Neither [tex]OH^-[/tex] or [tex]H^+[/tex] ions into water.

B)

Solution:

Arrhenius Theory: An acid is a substance which produces one or more hydrogen ions, (H+) in aqueous solution.

Examples:

[tex]HCl(aq)>H^+(aq)+Cl^-(aq)\\\\HBr(aq)>H^+(aq)+Br^- (aq)\\\\H_2SO_4(aq)>2H^+(aq)+SO_4^{2-}(aq)\\\\H_3 PO_4(aq)>3H^+(aq)+PO_4^{-3}(aq)\\\\CH_3COOH(aq)>CH_3 COO^-(aq)+H^+(aq)[/tex]

A Base is a substance which produces one or more hydroxyl ion or hydroxide ion (OH-) in aqueous solution.

Examples

[tex]KOH(s)> K^+(aq) +OH^-(aq)\\\\Ca(OH)_2(s)>Ca^{2+}(aq)+2OH^- (aq)\\\\Al(OH)_3 (s)> Al^{3+}(aq)+3OH^- (aq)[/tex]

Please note: (aq) stands for aqueous which means in the presence of water that is, water acts as a solvent.

[tex]CaCl_2[/tex] is formed from a strong base [tex]Ca(OH)_2[/tex] and  strong acid HCl as shown in the Equation  

[tex]Ca(OH)_2+2HCl>CaCl_2+2H_2 O[/tex]

So when placed in water [tex]CaCl_2[/tex] as it is formed from a strong base it releases OH- ions and as it is formed from a strong acid it releases H+ ions .

So, option C is the Answer

Equal amounts of OH- and H+ ions into water
