Chapter 15, Problem 35RQ
Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The element whose oxide forms an acidic solution is to be classified as a metal or a non-metal.

Concept Introduction:

Bronsted-Lowry acids are those species which donate H+ and those which accept H+ are considered as Bronsted-Lowry bases. The species formed after the donation of H+ by a Bronsted-Lowry acid is called its conjugate base while that formed after accepting H+ by a base is called its conjugate acid.

Metals are characterized by their luster, high thermal and electrical conductivity, sonorous nature, ductility, malleability, the formation of ionic hydroxides and tendency to release hydroxides in solution.

Non-metals are characterized by their rough surface, low melting and boiling point, low or no thermal and electrical conductivity, the formation of covalent oxides and tendency to release protons in solution.

What are displacement reactions that occur in the group 7 elements and describe what happens and then explain why this happens ?
Hydrated substances contain H2O as part of their formulas. When a hydrated substance is heated, water is driven off and an anhydrous (without water) substance is formed. In this experiment: determine the formula of 2 different hydrates: A copper (II) sulfate hydrate and a zinc sulfate hydrate 1) Why did the color of the cobalt (II) chloride change? 2) What would you expect to happen to the color of the anhydrous (without water) sample if it was removed from the heat and left in an open container in the lab? 3) One way to tell if all of the water has been removed for this compound is to wait until the color stops changing, but not all hydrates change color when they are dehydrated. What would be another way to tell if all of the water has been removed from a sample?
What associated anion do Ag+, Fe3+, Cu2+, Ba2+, Pb2+, and Na+ have? And what is the formula of this anion?  For reactions involving dilute solutions of aqueous ammonia, what is the key substance involved in the reaction?
