Question

recall the definition of a base that you learned in chemistry. Explain how the reaction below illustrates the basic properties of adrenaline

Answer 1

Answer:

Explanation: A Base is any substance that is so soapy to touch and mainly Bitter in taste. Bases are of two types : Mild Base and Strong base .

MILD BASE means the base which does not ionize properly and we can call it as weak bases too .

STRONG BASES like Sodium Hydroxide are corrosive in nature and can damage our skin .

ALKALIES = These are bases which dissolve in water . Remember All alkalies are bases but not all bases are alkalies .

NOTE : All bases end with the surname Hydroxide or Oxide

Adrenaline - C9H13NO3 = It is a mild base , slightly alkaline thing present in Human body . It helps in heart rate, increasing blood pressure and expanding the air passages of the lungs .

Answer 2

The definition of a base that we learned in chemistry:

• A base is a chemical entity in an aqueous solution that gives electrons, receives protons, or releases hydroxide (OH-) ions. Bases have specific distinguishing characteristics that may be utilised to assist identify them.
• Bases are ionic substances that when dissolved in water create negative hydroxide (OH) ions.

The basic properties of adrenaline are:

• To conduct electricity, an aqueous base solution dissociates into ions.

• It has a pH level higher than 7.

• When they react with acids, they generate salts.

• They aid in the promotion of specific chemical processes.

• When exposed to alkali solutions, they develop a harsh flavour.

• Caustic bases are those that are strong or concentrated.

• It alters the colour of the indicator from red to blue litmus paper.

• It is capable of receiving protons from proton sources.

• It has OH ions in it.

• When they come into touch with acids, they respond quickly.

• They're slick to the touch.

• When dissolved in water, they conduct electricity.
