ok and thank you for free point
Hey there!
27 tells us the sum of protons and neutrons is 27.
Al tells us we have 13 protons.
3+ tells us that there are 3 less electrons than protons.
13 + n = 27
neutrons = 14
13 - 3 = 10 electrons
27Al3+ has 13 protons, 14 neutrons, and 10 electrons.
Hope this helps!
Answer:
Explanation:
Your B-L Acid is a proton (Hydrogen, H+) donor, and your B-L base is a proton acceptor. This means that the base will take a hydrogen from your acid. NO2- is a B-L base, and you can tell it is a base by the negative charge it possesses. This means that it has a lone pair that wants to grab one of the hydrogens from NH4+, the B-L acid. In scientific words, the NO2- is a nucleophile and NH4+ is an electrophile. The result of NO2- grabbing that hydrogen from NH4+ is that NO2- becomes HNO2 (your conjugate acid) and and NH4+ becomes NH3 (you conjugate base). Basically, any time a B-L acid loses a proton, its equal product will be its conjugate base, and any time a B-L base gains a proton, its equal product will be its conjugate acid.
I hope this helped explain the concept behind Bronsted-Lowry acids and bases! Good luck with your class and please don't forget to give a positive rating! :-)
