Given below are two statements one is labelled as Assertion A and the other is labelled as Reason R:
Assertion A: The amphoteric nature of water is explained by using Lewis acid/base concept
Reason R: Water acts as an acid with NH3 and as a base with H2S.
In the light of the above statements choose the correct answer from the options given below:
The correct option is(D): A is false but R is true.
The amphoteric nature of water is explained by using Bronsted-Lowry acid base concept
\(H_2O(acid)+NH_3⇋OH^-+NH_4^+\)
\(H_2O(base)+H_2S⇋H_3O^++HS^-\)
Hence, A is false but R is true.
Arrange the following in decreasing acidicstrength
If the system of equations \[ x + 2y - 3z = 2, \quad 2x + \lambda y + 5z = 5, \quad 14x + 3y + \mu z = 33 \] has infinitely many solutions, then \( \lambda + \mu \) is equal to:}
The equilibrium constant for decomposition of $ H_2O $ (g) $ H_2O(g) \rightleftharpoons H_2(g) + \frac{1}{2} O_2(g) \quad (\Delta G^\circ = 92.34 \, \text{kJ mol}^{-1}) $ is $ 8.0 \times 10^{-3} $ at 2300 K and total pressure at equilibrium is 1 bar. Under this condition, the degree of dissociation ($ \alpha $) of water is _____ $\times 10^{-2}$ (nearest integer value). [Assume $ \alpha $ is negligible with respect to 1]
To neutralize stomach acids antacids type of drug are used. This tablet contain substances such as calcium, sodium bicarbonate, and magnesium, which act as base in the stomach.
