<em>Acetic acid, HC2H3O2</em>

First, calculate for the molar mass of acetic acid as shown below.
    M = 1 + 2(12) + 3(1) + 2(16) = 60 g

Then, calculating for the percentages of each element.
<em> Hydrogen:</em>
    P1 = ((4)(1)/60)(100%) = <em>6.67%</em>

<em> Carbon:</em>
   P2 = ((2)(12)/60)(100%) = <em>40%</em>

<em>Oxygen</em>
  P3 =((2)(16) / 60)(100%) = <em>53.33%</em>

<em>Glucose, C6H12O6</em>

The molar mass of glucose is as calculated below,
   6(12) + 12(1) + 6(16) = 180

The percentages of the elements are as follow,
 <em> Hydrogen:</em>
   P1 = (12/180)(100%) = <em>6.67%</em>

<em>Carbon:</em>
  P2 = ((6)(12) / 180)(100%) = <em>40%</em>

<em>Oxygen:</em>
  P3 = ((6)(16) / 180)(100%) = <em>53.33%</em>

b. Since the empirical formula of the given substances are just the same and can be written as CH2O then, the percentages of each element composing them will just be equal.

Identify whether each species functions as a Brønsted-Lowry acid or a Brønsted-Lowry base in this net ionic equation. HF (aq) +
VMariaS [17]

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-

Help??
kvasek [131]

Answer:

Mass of sodium chloride decomposed = 24.54 g

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass of sodium chloride decomposed = ?

Mass of chlorine gas formed = 15 g

Solution:

Chemical equation:

2NaCl      →         2Na + Cl₂

Number of moles of Cl₂:

Number of moles = mass/molar mass

Number of moles = 15 g/ 71 g/mol

Number of moles = 0.21 mol

Now we will compare the moles of Cl₂ with NaCl from balance chemical equation.

                    Cl₂            :              NaCl

                      1              :                2

                      0.21         :            2×0.21 = 0.42 mol

Mass of Sodium chloride decompose:

Mass = number of moles × molar mass

Mass = 0.42 mol × 58.44 g/mol

Mass = 24.54 g
