a.
To determine:
If the given statement “has a sour taste” is the characteristic of an acid or a base.
Introduction:
The chemical compounds or molecules which donate hydrogen ion or proton are known as acid whereas the compounds or molecules which accept the incoming hydrogen ion or proton are known as base. The value of acids on
a.
Answer to Problem 9.1PP
Correct answer:
Having sour taste is the characteristic property of acids.
Explanation of Solution
When acid is dissolved in water or comes in contact with the saliva of the mouth, it releases its proton and stimulates the neural receptors of brain, which gives feeling of tartness. Hence, sour taste is the characteristic of an acid.
b.
To determine:
If the given statement “accepts a proton” is the characteristic of an acid or a base.
Introduction:
The chemical compounds or molecules which donate hydrogen ion or proton are known as acid whereas the compounds or molecules which accept the incoming hydrogen ion or proton are known as base. The value of acids on
b.
Answer to Problem 9.1PP
Correct answer:
Acceptance of proton is the characteristic property of bases.
Explanation of Solution
According to the Bronsted-Lowry theory of acid and base, the substance that release
c.
To determine:
If the given statement “produces H+ ions in water” is the characteristic of an acid or a base.
Introduction:
The chemical compounds or molecules which donate hydrogen ion or proton are known as acid whereas the compounds or molecules which accept the incoming hydrogen ion or proton are known as base. The value of acids on
c.
Answer to Problem 9.1PP
Correct answer:
Production of H+ ions in water is the characteristic property of acids.
