Answer:

A. Pyrite is an ore of gold and is used in jewelry making.

Explanation:

Pyrite is a combination of iron and sulfur, chemically knwon as iron sulfide, it´s called the fool´s gold because it has a golden colour and it´s metallic state often can be preceived as gold, but it is not used in jewelry because could be poisonous to the people wearing it, it´s main use is production of sulfur or sulfiric acid.

The following equation shows the equilibrium in an aqueous solution of ammonia: NH3(aq)+H2O(l)⇌NH4+(aq)+OH−(aq)NH3(aq)+H2O(l)⇌NH

Answer:

c) H2O and OH−

Explanation:

Acids are the species which furnish hydrogen ions in the solution or is capable of forming bonds with electron pair species as they are electron deficient species.

When an acid donates a proton, it changes into a base which is known as its conjugate base.

Bases are the species which furnish hydroxide ions in the solution or is capable of forming bonds with electron deficient species as they are electron rich species. When a base accepts a proton, it changes into a acid which is known as its conjugate acid.

The acid and the base which is only differ by absence or presence of the proton are known as acid conjugate base pair.

Thus, for the reaction,

$NH_3+H_2O\rightleftharpoons Nh_4^++OH^-$

The base is $NH_3$ and the conjugate acid of the base is $NH_4^+$ .

Also, The base is $OH^-$ and the conjugate acid of the base is $H_2O$ .

<u>Correct option is :- c) H2O and OH−</u>

If a 1.00 mL sample of the reaction mixture for the equilibrium constant experiment required 32.40 mL of 0.258 M NaOH to titrate

andrey2020 [161]

Answer:

The concentration of acetic acid is 8.36 M

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Volume of acetic acid = 1.00 mL = 0.001 L

Volume of NaOH = 32.40 mL = 0.03240 L

Molarity of NaOH = 0.258 M

Step 2: The balanced equation

CH3COOH + NaOH → CH3COONa + H2O

Step 3: Calculate the concentration of the acetic acid

b*Ca*Va = a*Cb*Vb

⇒with b = the coefficient of NaOH = 1

⇒with Ca = the concentration of CH3COOH = TO BE DETERMINED

⇒with Va = the volume of CH3COOH = 1.00 mL = 0.001L

⇒with a = the coefficient of CH3COOH = 1

⇒with Cb = the concentration of NaOH = 0.258 M

⇒with Vb = the volume of NaOH = 32.40 mL = 0.03240 L

Ca * 0.001 L = 0.258 * 0.03240

Ca = 8.36 M

The concentration of acetic acid is 8.36 M
