Answer:

See Explanation ( = same answer for earlier question)

Explanation:

The Arrhenius acid-base theory defines an acid as a compound which when added into water increases the hydronium ion (H₃O⁺) concentration and the base as a compound which when added into water increases the hydroxide (OH⁻) ion concentration. As such, an acid-base reaction is limited to proton transfer to only OH⁻ ions forming water. Such would imply that all acid-base reactions produce water only in addition to a salt. This is not always the case as conjugate base anions for many substances can receive proton transfer.

Example: The reaction HOAc + NaCN => HCN + OAc-  will occur in aqueous media because the proton (H⁺) on acetic acid (HOAc) will transfer to the cyanate ion forming hydrocyanic acid (HCN). Such occurs because the CN⁻ ion is a stronger conjugate base than the acetate ion (OAc⁻) and forms the more stable weak acid.  Such is the basis of the Bronsted-Lowry Acid-Base system and states that an acid (proton donor) will transfer its ionizable hydrogen to a conjugate base (proton acceptor) if the transfer forms a weaker acid.

Determine the molar mass of Ze(NO3)2. (Ze=55.85 N=14.01 O=16.00) *<br> Help
Arturiano [62]

Answer:

179.87 g/mol

Explanation:

First you need to determine the number of each elements in the molecule.  This information comes from the molecular formula.  

Ze(NO3)2 tells us that there is 1 Ze atom and 2 NO3 anions per molecule.  each NO3 anion will have 1 nitrogen and 3 oxygens.  Due to that, one molecule of Ze(NO3)2 will have 1 atom of Ze, 2 atoms of nitrogen (N), and 6 atoms of oxygen (O).

Next you need to add all of the individual atom's molar masses to get the over all molar masses.  The molar masses of each element is in the question but it can also be found on the periodic table.

molar mass of Ze(NO3)2 = 55.85g/mol + (14.01g/mol*2) + (16.00g/mol*6)

molar mass of Ze(NO3)2 = 179.87 g/mol

I hope this helps.

How does burning affect an object's property? Burning can cause an object to increase in volume. Burning changes the chemical ma
Jobisdone [24]

Answer: Burning changes the chemical make up of an object.

Explanation:

A chemical change can be defined as a change in the substance when it combines with other kind of substance to form a new substance. A chemical change can also occur when a substance is broken down into two or more products. These changes cannot be reversed. These changes affect the physical make up of an object. For example, burning as when an object is burned it cannot be transformed into its original form. A wood if burned can be converted into ash, water and carbon dioxide cannot regain its original form after burning so burning brings about chemical change in an object.

If a gas furnace releases 420 kcal of heat energy, what is the energy in kilojoules? (1 cal = 4.184 J)
Igoryamba
Answer:
The furnace releases 1757280 J 

Explanation:
We will do the conversion on two steps:
1- convert the kcal to cal
2- convert the cal to J

Step 1: converting kcal to cal
1 kcal is equivalent to 1000 cal. Therefore:
420 kcal is equivalent to 420*1000 = 420000 cal

Step 2: converting cal to J
We are given that:
<span>1 cal = 4.184 J
</span>Therefore:
420000 cal is equivalent to 420000 * 4.184 = 1757280 J 

Hope this helps :)

A tank of gas has partial pressures of nitrogen and oxygen equal to 1.61 × 104 kPa and 4.34 × 103 kPa , respectively.What is t
Alchen [17]

Answer:

20.44\times 10^3 kPa is the total pressure of the tank.

Explanation:

Partial pressures of nitrogen = p_{N_2}=1.61\times 10^4 kPa

Partial pressure of oxygen =  p_{O_2}=4.34\times 10^3 kPa

Total pressure of gases in the tank = P

Applying Dalton's law of partial pressures :

P=p_{N_2}+p_{O_2}=1.61\times 10^4 kPa+4.34\times 10^3 kPa

P=20.44\times 10^3 kPa

20.44\times 10^3 kPa is the total pressure of the tank.

Sodium aton has lower electron affinity than chlorine atom why
Citrus2011 [14]
Electron affinity is the energy released when an electron is accepted by a neutral atom forming a negative ion. Chlorine has the higher electron affinity because it readily accepts an electron to become more stable. On the other hand, sodium have to give up an electron to complete its valence shell.
