Explanation:
A Bronsted-Lowry base is a substance that accepts a proton in the form of a hydrogen (H) atom.
On the other hand;
Bronsted-Lowry acid is the substance that donates the proton.
HF (aq) + SO32- ⇌ F- + HSO3-
In the forward reaction;
Bronsted-Lowry acid : HF
Bronsted-Lowry base: SO32-
In the backward reaction;
Bronsted-Lowry acid : HSO3-
Bronsted-Lowry base: F-
The conjugate base of HF is F-
The conjugate acid of SO32- is HSO3-
The word elliptical refers to an Oval.
The way you calculate the empirical formula is to firstly assume 100g. To find each elements moles you take each elements percentage listed, times it by one mole and divide it by its atomic mass. (ex: moles of K =55.3g x 1 mole/39.1g, therefore there is 1.41432225 moles of Potassium) Once you’ve completed this for every element you list each elements symbol beside it’s number of moles and divide by the smallest number because it can only go into its self once. After you’ve done this, you’ve found your empirical formula, which is the simplest whole number ratio of atoms in a compound. I’ve added an example of a empirical question I completed last semester :)
