Chemistry
1 answer:
Basile [38]3 years ago

Answer:

The correct option is H₂O is an acid and OH⁻ is its conjugate base.

Explanation:

According to the Bronsted-Lowry theory, an acid is a substance capable of yielding a hydrogen ion while a base is a species capable of accepting a hydrogen ion.

A conjugated acid-base pair is a pair of chemical species capable of transforming into each other by exchange of a proton. That is, a conjugated acid is the species that forms after the base accepts a proton. In contrast, a conjugate base is the species that forms after an acid donates its proton.

So, in this case water acts as an acid, yielding a proton to HCO₃⁻, which in turn acts as a base.

<u><em>The correct option is H₂O is an acid and OH⁻ is its conjugate base.</em></u>

What is the total amount of matter in an ecosystem doing? always changing always increasing always decreasing remaining the same
Ilya [14]

Answer:

Remaining the same

Explanation:

By the Lavoisier's principle the matter can't be created nor destroyed, but always transformed.

It means that in an ecosystem, the matter, and also the energy, is not increasing and not decreasing, the total amount remains the same, but in different forms.

<u>Atomic Structure</u>

  • Reading a Periodic Table
  • Writing Compounds
  • Avogadro's Number - 6.022 × 10²³ atoms, molecules, formula units, etc.

<u>Stoichiometry</u>

  • Using Dimensional Analysis
<h3>Explanation:</h3>

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

85 g AgNO₃ (silver nitrate)

<u>Step 2: Identify Conversions</u>

Avogadro's Number

[PT] Molar Mass of Ag - 107.87 g/mol

[PT] Molar Mass of N - 14.01 g/mol

[PT] Molar Mass of O - 16.00 g/mol

Molar Mass of AgNO₃ - 107.87 + 14.01 + 3(16.00) = 169.88 g/mol

<u>Step 3: Convert</u>

  1. Set up:                              \displaystyle 85 \ g \ AgNO_3(\frac{1 \ mol \ AgNO_3}{169.88 \ g \ AgNO_3})(\frac{6.022 \cdot 10^{23} \ molecules \ AgNO_3}{1 \ mol \ AgNO_3})
  2. Multiply/Divide:                                                                                                \displaystyle 3.01313 \cdot 10^{23} \ molecules \ AgNO_3

<u>Step 4: Check</u>

<em>Follow sig fig rules and round. We are given 2 sig figs.</em>

3.01313 × 10²³ molecules AgNO₃ ≈ 3.0 × 10²³ molecules AgNO₃

The equation that conforms with the particle model is 4C + 6O2 ----> 4CO2 + 2O2.

<h3>What is a chemical reaction?</h3>

The term chemical reaction has to do with the combination of substances to give products. We know that reactants and products must follow the law of conservation of mass.

Hence, the equation that conforms with the particle model is 4C + 6O2 ----> 4CO2 + 2O2.

Individual solute particles are broken apart from the solid by these particles. * a Solution b Insoluble c Solvent d Compounds
Maru [420]

Answer:

Individual solute particles are broken apart from the solid by the;

c. Solvent

Explanation:

A solution is the homogeneous mixture that is made up of two or more substances formed by dissolving a substance which can be a solid, liquid or gas in another substance known as the solvent which normally the larger part of the fraction of the solution than the solute and can also be a solid, liquid or a gas

In a solution the solvent particles serves to brake of and disperser parts of a solid solute to form a more or less homogeneous mixture

Therefore, the solute particles are broken by the <u>solvent</u> particles in a solution
