What is a base

In chemistry, a base is the opposite of an acid. It has a pH higher than 7. When mixed with an acid it forms a neutral solution with a pH of 7.

acid + base = water + salt.

properties include: bitterness, slimy or soapy, and turns litmus paper blue.

-----------------------------------------------------------------

A base is also an article on which something stands or a military installation.

In sports, a base is one of four plaques fixed to the ground (or other object designated for this function) that must be touched by a runner, without being touched by the ball that is in play, before he or she can score a point in the game.
Base: a substance which when added to water produces hydroxide ions [OH-].

Base Properties: When dissolved in water, bases Conduct electricity Change red litmus to blue Have a slippery feeling React with acids to neutralize their properties."

What is the difference between a strong base and a weak base

A "strong" acid (or base) is one that dissociates completely in dilute aqueous solution. One which does not is a "weak" acid (or base). An acid with a pKa (or a base with a pKb) lower than about -2 is considered to be a "strong" acid.

Weak acids and bases can still be quite corrosive. HF is a "weak" acid with a pKa of around 3.2 (which corresponds to only about one molecule out of every 38 or so being dissociated), but it's pretty terrible stuff and will dissolve even glass.

Which of the following is a strong acid

HCI (Hydrochloric acid)

What happens at the triple point of water

Solid, liquid, and gas exist together.

Apex

What kind of fraction has a value less than 1

1/2 is less than one.

What is the purpose of engineers

Engineers design new products that you buy. They design everything from bridges to planes to computers.

What is the difference between normal reaction and abnormal reaction

Normal reaction happens when the reaction is normal. Abnormal reaction happens when the reaction is abnormal.

Which sentence suggests the least amount of psychic distance

Katia was going to teach them a lesson they'd never forget.

No way, she thought, this is ridiculous.

How does increasing the temperature affect collisions

It increases the number of high-energy collisions

Which has the largest rate constant k

Dynamite exploding

What is Ka for H2CO3 aq H aq HCO3 aq

Ka= [h+][HCO3-]/[H2CO3]

What are Kp aND KC

Kc is the equilibrium constant of a chemical reaction; Kp is the equilibrium constant of a chemical reaction at constant pressure.

How does the rate law show how concentration changes change the rate of reaction

as concentration increase the faster the rate of reaction and vice versa

How can the placebo effect cause problems in an experiment

The placebo effect can causes the dependent variable to change without any causative reason. This distorts the results for the control set in an experiment.

According to Le Chatelier principle what happens if heat is added to a system

The reaction shifts to remove the heat APEX

What best explains the type of characterization used in this passage

savage and war-hungry

What is a rate law

An equation that relates the reaction to the concentrations of the reactants

Which one of the following is an example of a strong base

sodium hydroxide

which of the following is an example of an Arrhenius acid

HI

What is the rate constant of a reaction if rate = 1.5(mol/L)/s, [A] is 1M, [B] is 3 M, m=2, and n=1

0.5
