A base is a substance that has the tendency to release OH- ions. These ions then attract protons to form water.
For example:
NaOH is a strong base which dissociates into Na+ and OH- ions.
NaOH → Na+ + OH-
The OH- ions can then grab the H+ ions from water, thereby reducing the hydrogen ion concentration and increasing the pH
Ans :
When a base is added to water, hydrogen ions decrease.
The answer is decrease.
A 'spontaneous reaction' in chemistry refers to a reaction that continues on its own once started, not a reaction that starts spontaneously. A sparkler, once lit, undergoes a combustion reaction that needs no additional energy input.
The term spontaneous reaction in chemistry does not mean that a reaction starts spontaneously without any trigger. It actually refers to a reaction that, once started, continues without any additional external input. In the case of a sparkler, the initial energy to start the reaction is provided by lighting the sparkler. Once lit, the combustion reaction continues on its own, making it a spontaneous reaction.
The reactants in the sparkler (often metal powders and an oxidizing agent) are in a higher energy state than the products (typically metal oxides and heat) they form during burning. This difference in energy drives the reaction forward, making it spontaneous. The overall energy of the system decreases, which aligns with the principle of thermodynamics stating that a spontaneous process leads to a decrease in the system's free energy.

a) How many grams of iron can be made from 6 moles H2
223.4 g of iron can be formed from 6 moles of hydrogen gas.
Explanation:
Fe₂O₃(s) + 3 H₂(g) → 2 Fe(s) + 3 H₂O(l)
Since the given equation is the balanced one, we need 3 moles of hydrogen gas to make 2 moles of iron, so the molar ratio is 3:2. So, from 6 moles of hydrogen gas, we can make few moles of iron as,
Molar mass of iron = 55.85 g
So amount of iron produced = 4 moles × 55.85 g/mol = 223.4 g of iron
