Answer:

HCl is a Bronsted acid, dissociates partially or completely with the release of H+ dissociating as H+ and Cl-.

BF_3 is a Lewis acid because it has an incomplete octet and an empty 2p orbital, so it can accept a lone pair. It is clearly not a Bronsted acid as it does not have a H+ to release on dissociation.

CCl_3  Lewis base

-H Lewis base

CH_2O  Bronsted base

CH_3Cl  Bronsted acid

-OCH_3 Lewis base

NH_3 is a Lewis Base:, N has a a lone pair which it can donate to a Lewis acid like BF3.  

Explanation:

The Brønsted-Lowry theory describes acid-base interactions in terms of proton transfer between chemical species. A Brønsted-Lowry acid is any species that can donate a proton, H+, and a base is any species that can accept a proton. As for chemical structure, this means that any Brønsted-Lowry acid must contain a hydrogen that can be dissociated as H+. To accept a proton, a Brønsted-Lowry base must have at least one solitary pair of electrons to form a new bond with a proton.

A 7.47 g sample of calcium carbonate [CaCO3 (s)] absorbs 85 J of heat, upon which the temperature of the sample increases from 2
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

Specific heat of calcium carbonate(C) = 0.82 (Approx)

Explanation:

Given:

Energy absorbs (q) = 85 J

Change in temperature (Δt) = 34.9 - 21 = 13.9°C  

Mass of calcium carbonate = 7.47 g

Find:

Specific heat of calcium carbonate(C)

Computation:

Specific heat of calcium carbonate(C) = q / m(Δt)

Specific heat of calcium carbonate(C) = 85 / (7.47)(13.9)

Specific heat of calcium carbonate(C) = 85 / 103.833

Specific heat of calcium carbonate(C) = 0.8186

Specific heat of calcium carbonate(C) = 0.82 (Approx)

Anettt [7]

Answer:

P.E for the 4kg bowling ball held 2.5 meters above head is 100j, while the other is 60j so the 4kg ball has more potential energy
