The synthetic compound Zn(C2H3O2)2 is zinc acetic acid derivation. The molecular composition demonstrates that the mixes incorporate zinc, spoke to by Zn; carbon, spoke to by C; hydrogen, spoke to by H; and oxygen, spoke to by O. Below is the an equation that shows how the anion acts as a base:

C2H3O2−(aq)+H2O(l)⇌HC2H3O2(aq)+OH−(aq)

Explanations:- Acetate ion is a conjugate base of a weak acid(acetic acid). From Bronsted-Lowry concept of acid and base, "Acids are proton donor where as bases are proton acceptors.

To work as a base, acetate ion would be accepting a proton. Water is an amphoteric compound means it could act as an acid as well as a base. So, let's write the reaction of acetate ion with water to show how it acts as a base.

$C_2H_3O_2^-(aq)+H_2O(l)\rightleftharpoons HC_2H_3O_2(aq)+OH^-(aq)$

In the above reaction, acetate ion has accepted a proton from water means its a base and since water has donated a proton so its an acid.

Acetic acid is the conjugate acid of acetate ion and hydroxide ion is the conjugate base of water.

Answer: 0.151

Explanation:

Rate law says that rate of a reaction is directly proportional to the concentration of the reactants each raised to a stoichiometric coefficient determined experimentally called as order.

$2HBr(g)\rightarrow H_2(g)+Br_2(g$

The rate in terms of reactants is given as negative as the concentration of reactants is decreasing with time whereas the rate in terms of products is given as positive as the concentration of products is increasing with time.

$Rate=-\frac{1d[HBr]}{2dt}=+\frac{1d[H_2]}{2dt}=+\frac{1d[Br_2]}{dt}$

Given: $-\frac{d[HBr]}{dt}]=0.301$

Putting in the values we get:

$\frac{0.301}{2}=+\frac{1d[Br_2]}{dt}$

$+\frac{1d[Br_2]}{dt}=0.151$

Thus the rate of appearance of $Br_2$ is 0.151

The law of conservation of mass states that mass is neither created nor destroyed during a chemical reaction. This can be gleane

GenaCL600 [577]

Answer : The total mass of oxygen gas released in the reaction will be, 12.8 grams

Explanation :

Law of conservation of mass : It states that mass can neither be created nor be destroyed but it can only be transformed from one form to another form.

This also means that total mass on the reactant side must be equal to the total mass on the product side.

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

$2MgO\rightarrow 2Mg+O_2$

According to the law of conservation of mass,

Total mass of reactant side = Total mass of product side

Total mass of $2MgO$ = Total mass of $2Mg+O_2$

or,

Total mass of $2MgO$ = Mass of $2Mg$ + Mass of $O_2$

As we are given :

Total mass of $MgO$ = 16.12 grams

The mass of $Mg$ = 9.72 grams

So,

Total mass of $2MgO$ = Mass of $2Mg$ + Mass of $O_2$

$2\times 16.12g=2\times 9.72g+\text{Mass of }O_2$

$\text{Mass of }O_2=32.24g-19.44g=12.8g$

Therefore, the total mass of oxygen gas released in the reaction will be, 12.8 grams

Which step will decrease the pressure of a gas inside a closed cubical container

Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

In order to decrease the pressure of a gas inside a closed cubical container, you need to decrease the temperature of the container. The volume of the system is rigid so it means volume is constant. By the ideal gas law, temperature and pressure are directly related. Increasing the temperature, increases the pressure and the opposite to happens.
