Answer: Option B) Base

Explanation:

According to Bronsted-Lowry theory, an acid is a substance that donates a proton and produces a conjugate base while a base is a molecule or ion which accepts the proton and produces a conjugate acid.

Thus, water H2O acts as a example of Bronsted-Lowry base while hydrochloric acid, HCl acts as an acid respectively as shown in the reaction below

HCl(aq) + H2O(aq) -> H3O+(aq) + Cl-(aq)

H2O acts as an base by accepting a proton donated by HCl, thus producing hydroxonium ion, H3O+ as a conjugate acid.

Thus, in the given reaction, H2O acts as a base

A 0.100 M solution of K2SO4 would contain the same total ion concentration as which of the following solutions? 0.0800 M Na2CO3
mr Goodwill [35]
<span>0.0750 M Na3PO4 as this solution would contain 3 Na+ and 1 PO4- ions per mole of Na3PO4 for an effective total ion concentration of 4 x .0750 or .300 M. The K2SO4 has three total ions or a concentration of .300 M as well. Hope it helps. </span>

Given the following equation: Cu + 2 AgNO3 ---&gt; Cu(NO3)2 + 2
Temka [501]

Given the following equation; Cu + 2AgNO3 = Cu(NO3)2 + 2Ag, 48.97 grams of Cu are needed to react with 262g of AgNO3.

<h3>How to calculate mass of substances?</h3>

The mass of a substance can be calculated using the following steps:

Cu + 2AgNO3 = Cu(NO3)2 + 2Ag

1 mole of Cu react with 2 moles of AgNO3

  • Molar mass of AgNO3 = 169.87 g/mol
  • Molar mass of Cu = 63.5g/mol

moles of AgNO3 = 262g/169.87g/mol = 1.54mol

1.54 moles of AgNO3 will react with 0.77 moles of Cu.

mass of Cu = 0.77 × 63.5 = 48.97g

Therefore, given the following equation; Cu + 2AgNO3 = Cu(NO3)2 + 2Ag, 48.97 grams of Cu are needed to react with 262g of AgNO3.
