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>

KIM [24]

<u>Answer:</u> The sample of Carbon-14 isotope will take 2377.9 years to decay it to 25 %

<u>Explanation:</u>

The equation used to calculate rate constant from given half life for first order kinetics:

t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}

where,

t_{1/2} = half life of the reaction = 5730 years

Putting values in above equation, we get:

k=\frac{0.693}{5730yrs}=1.21\times 10^{-4}yrs^{-1}

Rate law expression for first order kinetics is given by the equation:

k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{[A_o]}{[A]}

where,

k = rate constant  = 1.21\times 10^{-4}yr^{-1}

t = time taken for decay process = ? yr

[A_o] = initial amount of the sample = 100 grams

[A] = amount left after decay process =  (100 - 25) = 75 grams

Putting values in above equation, we get:

1.21\times 10^{-4}=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{100}{75}\\\\t=2377.9yrs

Hence, the sample of Carbon-14 isotope will take 2377.9 years to decay it to 25 %

boyakko [2]
The correct option is this: THE ORGANISM IS A PROKARYOTES.
There are basically two types of cells, prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells. The prokaryotic cells are primitive cells which contain only a few materials which are not well organised. This type of cells is usually found in microscopic organisms. The cells lack organised nucleus and cell organelles which have membranes.<span />

Determine the percent composition by mass of a 100g salt solution which contains 20g salt
prisoha [69]

Answer:

Mass of solution=100g

mass of salt=20g

so; mass of solute=80g

percentage composition =(mass of salt/total

mass) ×100

=  \frac{20}{100}  \times 100 \\  = 20\%
