Answer:

a. H₂O (conjugate acid) ; b. OH⁻ (conjugate base), H₃O⁺ (conjugate acid) ; c. H₂CO₃ (conjugate acid), CO₃⁻² (conjugate base) ; d. NH₄⁺ (conjugate strong acid) e. H₂SO₄ (conjugate acid), SO₄⁻² (conjugate base) ; f. No conjugate acid either base; g. H₂S (conjugate acid), S⁻² (conjugate base);

h. H₄N₂ (conjugate base)

Explanation:

a. OH⁻ + H⁺ ⇄ H₂O

The hydroxide acts like a Bronsted Lory base, so it can catch a proton. Water will be the conjugate acid.

b. H₂O, is an amphoterus compound. It can act as an acid or a base. If it is a base, the conjugate acid is the H₃O⁺. If it is an acid, the conjugate base is the OH⁻.

c. HCO₃⁻ + H⁺ ⇄ H₂CO₃

HCO₃⁻ + H₂O ⇄ CO₃⁻² + H₃O⁺

The bicarbonate is also amphoteric. When it catches the proton, the carbonic acid is the conjugate acid, cause it works as a base.

When the HCO₃⁻ (acid) release the proton, the conjugate base is the carbonate.

d. Ammonia is a weak base, so the conjugate strong acid is the ammonium.

NH₃ + H₂O ⇄ NH₄⁺ + OH⁻

e. Another amphoteric compound. The acid sulfate acts an acid and a base.

(like bicarbonate). When it is a base, the conjugate acid is the sulfuric acid, when it is an acid, the conjugate base is the sulfate.

HSO₄⁻ + H₂O ⇄ SO₄⁻² + H₃O⁺

HSO₄⁻ + H⁺ ⇄ H₂SO₄

f. H₂O₂ does not recieve H⁺ or OH⁻, and it does not release H⁺. It is a neutral compound and it doesn't act as a base or acid.

g. HS⁻ is amphoterous.

HS⁻ + H⁺ ⇄ H₂S

HS⁻ + H₂O ⇄ S⁻² + H₃O⁺

Same case as bicarbonate or acid sulfate.

h. H₅N₂⁺ + H₂O ⇄ H₄N₂ + H₃O⁺

Hidrazinium acts an acid, so, the conjugate base will be the hidrazine.

Write the chemical symbol for three different atoms or atomic cations with 22 electrons

damaskus [11]

Answer:

Explanation:

To write the chemical symbol for an atom or cation with 22 electrons, we must understand some few things about an atom.

An atom is made up of positively charged paticles called protons which are located in the nucleus. The neutrons do not have any charges and are they reside together in the nucleus with the protons.

Electrons are negatively charged particles which orbits the nucleus.

Titanium in its neutral state is the 22nd element on the periodic table and it has 22 electrons.

Vanadium is the the 23rd element on the periodic table. If it loses an electron, it becomes positively charged and it is a cation.

Chromium is the 24th element on the periodic table. A loss of two electrons makes the net electrons remaining on it 22.

The symbols are:

₂₂Ti

₂₃V¹⁺

₂₄Cr²⁺

Answer:

1) Nitrogen

2) Methane

3) Dipeptide

4) Ammonia

5) Glycine

In Polish/Po polsku

1) Azot

2) metan

3) dipeptyd

4) Amoniak

5) glicyna

Explanation:

English Translation

Solve logogriffs. Read the password from the highlighted fields and write it down.

1.The chemical element being the main component of air (it occupies 78% of its volume),

2. The simplest saturated hydrocarbon,

3. Is a result of combining two amino acid molecules,

4. Gas with a pungent odor, soluble in water; hydrogen and nitrogen synthesis product.

5. Common name of aminoacetic acid

(the first has four boxes, the second has five boxes, the third has eight quarters has seven, fifths and seven).

Thank you in advance

1) The main component of air that makes up 78% of the air is Nitrogen.

2) The simplest saturated hydrocarbon is the first member of the alkane family, Methane.

3) Two amino acids combine by forming peptide bonds between the carboxyl group of one amino acid and the amino group of another through dehydration synthesis (loss of 1 molecule of water). Hence, the result of the combination of two amino acids are called Dipeptides.

4) Nitrogen and Hydrogen come together to form only one known water soluble gas with pungent smell, called Ammonia.

5) Aminoacetic acid as its name suggests is an amino acid with the acetyl group. It is the simplest amino acid. The common name for this compound is Glycine.

In Polish/Po polsku

1) Głównym składnikiem powietrza, które stanowi 78% powietrza, jest azot.

2) Najprostszym nasyconym węglowodorem jest pierwszy członek rodziny alkanów, metan.

3) Dwa aminokwasy łączą się, tworząc wiązania peptydowe między grupą karboksylową jednego aminokwasu i grupą aminową innego przez syntezę odwodnienia (utrata 1 cząsteczki wody). Stąd wynik połączenia dwóch aminokwasów nazywa się dipeptydami.

4) Azot i wodór tworzą razem jeden znany gaz rozpuszczalny w wodzie o ostrym zapachu, zwany amoniakiem.

5) Kwas aminooctowy, jak sama nazwa wskazuje, jest aminokwasem z grupą acetylową. To najprostszy aminokwas. Powszechna nazwa tego związku to glicyna.

Hope this Helps!!!

Which type of bonding is most important in ch3ch2ch2ch2ch2ch3?

saveliy_v [14]

The compound $CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_3$ is formed only by sharing of electrons between the atoms. The structure of the compound is shown in the image.

Each line between two atoms represents the sharing of an electron pair which results in the formation of a single bond. Since, carbon has 4 electrons in its valence shell and hydrogen has 1 electron in its valence shell so in order to complete the octet ( to have 8 electrons in their valence shell, noble gas configuration) to attain stability carbon needs 4 more electrons and hydrogen needs 1 electron. So, sharing of electron will occur as shown in the image and the formed compound is stable in nature.

Since, the bond that is formed by sharing of electrons between atoms is known as covalent bond. So, covalent bonding is most important in $CH_3CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_2CH_3$ .

The correct order given below shows the changes that occurs in a mice population in response to changes in their environment:

The population of mice is in an environment with many black rocks
Mice with black for are more likely to survive and reproduce than mice with brown fur
After many generations, most of the mice in the population have black fur
A sandstorm covers most of the population's environment with brown sand
Mice with black fur are less likely to survive and reproduce than mice with brown fur
After many generations, most of the mice in the population have brown fur

<h3>What is the correct order for natural selection in the desert environment given?</h3>

Based on the process of natural selection due to envrionmental pressures, the population of the mice in the desert changes as follows before and after the environmental change:

The population of mice is in an environment with many black rocks
Mice with black for are more likely to survive and reproduce than mice with brown fur
After many generations, most of the mice in the population have black fur
A sandstorm covers most of the population's environment with brown sand
Mice with black fur are less likely to survive and reproduce than mice with brown fur
After many generations, most of the mice in the population have brown fur

Therefore, the correct order shows the changes that occurs in a mice population in response to changes in their environment.
