Answer:

HNO₂

Explanation:

An acid is a proton donor; a base is a proton acceptor.

Thus, NO₂⁻ is the base, because it accepts a proton from the water.

H₂O is the acid, because it donates a proton to the nitrite ion.

The conjugate base is what's left after the acid has given up its proton.

The conjugate acid is what's formed when the base has accepted a proton.

NO₂⁻/HNO₂ make one conjugate acid/base pair, and H₂O/OH⁻ are the other conjugate acid/base pair.

NO₂⁻ + H₂O ⇌ HNO₂ + OH⁻

Picture this in your mind as you read it: You weigh an empty, clean, dry beaker on the balance (scale). It weighs 32.15 grams. Y

AleksAgata [21]

Answer:

2.25 g

Explanation:

The mass of the solid X must be the total mass (beaker + solid X) less than the mass of the beaker. Then:

mass of the solid X = 34.40 - 32.15

mass of the solid X = 2.25 g

The difference of 0.25 g must occur for several problems: an incorrect weight in the balance, the configuration of the balance, the solid can be hydrophilic and absorbs water, and others.
