Write the formula of the conjugate acid of HCO₂⁻.

Taking into account the Brønsted-Lowry acid-base theory, the conjugate acid of HCO₂⁻ is H₂CO₂.

<h3>Brønsted-Lowry acid-base </h3>

The Brønsted-Lowry acid-base theory (or the Brønsted-Lowry theory) identifies acids and bases based on whether the species accepts or donates protons or H⁺.

According to this theory, acids are proton donors while bases are proton acceptors. That is, an acid is a species that donates an H⁺ proton while a base is a chemical species that accepts an H⁺ proton from the acid.

So, reactions between acids and bases are H⁺ proton transfer reactions.

<h3>Conjugate base and conjugate acid</h3>

Then, a conjugate base is an ion or molecule resulting from the acid that loses the proton, while a conjugate acid is an ion or molecule resulting from the base that gains the proton:

acid + base ⇄ conjugate base + conjugate acid

<h3>Conjugate acid of HCO₂⁻</h3>

Like a conjugate acid is an ion or molecule resulting from the base that gains the proton, the conjugate acid of HCO₂⁻ is H₂CO₂.

Р<br> +<br> 02<br> =<br> P4O6 <br> balance the equation
sergejj [24]

To balance a chemical equation, both sides should have equal mass, or in other words both sides should have same number of atoms as to follow the conservation of mass rule.

P + O₂ = P₄O₆

LHS:

Number of Phosphorus atoms = 1 atom

Number of Oxygen atoms = 2 atoms

RHS:

Number of Phosphorous atoms = 4 atoms

Number of Oxygen atoms = 6 atoms

Also since P₄O₆ has the most number of atoms we will make the LHS equalize to P₄O₆.

Difference between Phosphorous atoms in LHS to RHS = 3

Since phosphorous is a monatomic we need 3 phosphorous atoms extra

Difference between Oxygen atoms is LHS to RHS = 4

But Oxygen is diatomic, so we need 4/2 = 2 Oxygen molecules

Now lets see if it is balanced

P + 3P + O₂ + 2O₂ -------> P₄O₆

               4P + 3O₂ ------>  P₄O₆

LHS:

Phosphorous atoms = 4 atoms

Oxygen atoms = 3 × 2 = 6 atoms

RHS:

Phosphorous atoms = 4 atoms

Oxygen atoms = 6 atoms

LHS = RHS

Therefore the balanced equation is 4P + 3O₂ =  P₄O₆

Alenkinab [10]

Answer:

20.0928.

Explanation:

The average atomic mass is (90 * 19.992 + 10* 21) / 100

= 20.0928.

Alexxandr [17]

Answer:

H₃PO₄ is an acid because donates the proton to fenolate.

Fenolate is the base because accepts the proton from the acid.

Explanation:

Bronsted theory mentioned that acid is the one that donates a proton to another compound and base is the one that receives it.

H₃PO₄   +   C₆H₅O⁻    ⇄      H₂PO₄⁻      +       C₆H₅OH

acid              base              conj. base            conj. acid

H₃PO₄ is an acid because donates the proton to fenolate.

Fenolate is the base because accepts the proton from the acid.

If we follow the dissociation, the diacid phosphate can donate two more protons, it is still a Bronsted acid, but it can act as an acid or a base. This is called amphoteric.

Of the following, ________ should have the highest critical temperature. Of the following, ________ should have the highest crit
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

H2

Explanation:

Critical temperature is the temperature above which gas cannot be liquefied, regardless of the pressure applied.

Critical temperature directly depends on the force of attraction between atoms, it means stronger the force of higher will be the critical temperature. So, from the given options H2 should have the highest critical temperature because of high attractive forces due to H bonding.

Hence, the correct option is H2.
