Answer:

NH4+

Explanation:

A Lewis base is a substance with the ability to share or give pairs of electrons.

The NH4 + ammonium ion donates a proton, therefore the ammonium ion is a Lewis acid.

Aleksandr-060686 [28]

Answer : The $H_3O^+$ ion concentration is, $1.12\times 10^{-3}M$ and the pH of a buffer is, 2.95

Explanation : Given,

$K_a=7.1\times 10^{-4}$

Concentration of $HNO_2$ (weak acid)= 0.26 M

Concentration of $KNO_2$ (conjugate base or salt)= 0.89 M

First we have to calculate the value of $pK_a$ .

The expression used for the calculation of $pK_a$ is,

$pK_a=-\log (K_a)$

Now put the value of $K_a$ in this expression, we get:

$pK_a=-\log (7.1\times 10^{-4})$

$pK_a=4-\log (7.1)$

$pK_a=3.15$

Now we have to calculate the pH of the solution.

Using Henderson Hesselbach equation :

$pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[Salt]}{[Acid]}$

$pH=pK_a+\log \frac{[KNO_2]}{[HNO_2]}$

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

$pH=3.15+\log (\frac{0.89}{0.26})$

$pH=2.95$

The pH of a buffer is, 2.95

Now we have to calculate the $H_3O^+$ ion concentration.

$pH=-\log [H_3O^+]$

$2.95=-\log [H_3O^+]$

$[H_3O^+]=1.12\times 10^{-3}M$

The $H_3O^+$ ion concentration is, $1.12\times 10^{-3}M$

Can you use volume to measure out a mole of a gas? Why or why not?

Rashid [163]

The volume of a gas is defined by the volume of its container.

However, given the number of moles, and standard temperature and pressure, you can use the Ideal Gas Law to calculate the volume.

What would happen if carbon -14 gained 1 proton and lost 1 neutron?

sleet_krkn [62]

D. To answer this question refer to the periodic table and think logically about it. Adding one proton increases the atomic number so you go along the row to Nitrogen. If you lose one neutron then the atomic mass decreases by 1 so 14-1 is 13.

Write a molecular equation for the gas-evolution reaction that occurs when you mix aqueous hydroiodic acid and aqueous sodium su

Leona [35]

First, we construct the reaction equation:

Na₂SO₃ + 2HCl → 2NaCl + SO₂ + H₂O

H₂SO₃ is formed as an intermediate but decomposes to water and SO₂ gas.
