How many moles of potassium are in 78.20 g?
Fynjy0 [20]
The answer to this question would be: 2 mol

To answer this question, you need to know the molecular weight of Potassium. Molecular weight determines how much the weight of 1 mol of a molecule has. 
Potassium or Kalium molecular weight is 39.1 gram/mol. Then, 78.20gram of potassium should be: 78.20g/ (39.1g/mol)= 2 mol

Part A Which acid in each of the following pairs has the stronger conjugate base? Match the words in the left column to the appr
vichka [17]

Answer:

HF

H₂S

H₂CO₃

NH₄⁺

Explanation:

<em>Which acid in each of the following pairs has the stronger conjugate base?</em>

According to Bronsted-Lowry acid-base theory, <em>the weaker an acid, the stronger its conjugate acid</em>. Especially for weak acids, pKa gives information about the strength of such acid. <em>The higher the pKa, the weaker the acid.</em>

<em />

  • Of the acids HCl or HF, the one with the stronger conjugate base is HF because it is a weak acid.
  • Of the acids H₂S or HNO₂, the one with the stronger conjugate base is    H₂S  because it is a weaker acid. pKa (H₂S) = 7.04 > pKa (HNO₂) = 3.39
  • Of the acids H₂CO₃ or HClO₄, the one with the stronger conjugate base is H₂CO₃ because it is a weak acid.
  • Of the acids HF or NH₄⁺, the one with the stronger conjugate base is NH₄⁺ because it is a weaker acid. pKa (HF) = 3.17 < pKa (NH₄⁺) = 9.25
