Textbook Question
Chapter 21, Problem 4TE
Water is formed from the reaction between an acid and a base. Why is water not classified as a salt?
Expert Solution & Answer
To determine
The reason for not classifying water as a salt.
Answer to Problem 4TE
The water is not classified as a salt as it is not an ionic compound.
Explanation of Solution
The ionic compound formed is a result of the neutralization reaction occurring between an acid and a base is called salt. The positively charged part of an acid binds with the negatively charged part of the base. The binding of cations and anions forms the salt. But as water is a covalent compound formed by sharing of electrons cannot be considered as a salt. The water does not dissociate in its molten or aqueous solution as other ionic salts are dissociated in their aqueous state.
Conclusion:
Therefore, the water is not classified as a salt as it is not an ionic compound.

- Part C Find the height yi from which the rock was launched. Express your answer in meters to three significant figures. Learning Goal: To practice Problem-Solving Strategy 4.1 for projectile motion problems. A rock thrown with speed 12.0 m/s and launch angle 30.0 ∘ (above the horizontal) travels a horizontal distance of d = 19.0 m before hitting the ground. From what height was the rock thrown? Use the value g = 9.800 m/s2 for the free-fall acceleration. PROBLEM-SOLVING STRATEGY 4.1 Projectile motion problems MODEL: Is it reasonable to ignore air resistance? If so, use the projectile motion model. VISUALIZE: Establish a coordinate system with the x-axis horizontal and the y-axis vertical. Define symbols and identify what the problem is trying to find. For a launch at angle θ, the initial velocity components are vix=v0cosθ and viy=v0sinθ. SOLVE: The acceleration is known: ax=0 and ay=−g.
