Answer:

The only PH range which is not covered by any of the given components of the universal indicator is 7.6-8.0

Hence the PH range 7.6-8 can't be described using universal indicator.

A sample of a compound is found to contain 40.0% carbon, 6.7% hydrogen, and 53.3% oxygen. What is the empirical formula of this

Shtirlitz [24]

Answer:

The empirical formula is CH2O, and the molecular formula is some multiple of this

Explanation:

In 100 g of the unknown, there are 40.0⋅g12.011⋅g⋅mol−1 C; 6.7⋅g1.00794⋅g⋅mol−1 H; and 53.5⋅g16.00⋅g⋅mol−1 O.

We divide thru to get, C:H:O = 3.33:6.65:3.34. When we divide each elemental ratio by the LOWEST number, we get an empirical formula of CH2O, i.e. near enough to WHOLE numbers. Now the molecular formula is always a multiple of the empirical formula; i.e. (EF)n=MF.So 60.0⋅g⋅mol−1=n×(12.011+2×1.00794+16.00)g⋅mol−1.Clearly n=2, and the molecular formula is 2×(CH2O) = CxHyOz.

Name each of the following species for the following acid-base reactions. (The equilibrium lies to the right in each case, i.e.,

DaniilM [7]

Answer: a) $H_3O^++CH_3O^-\rightleftharpoons CH_3OH+H_2O$

acid : hydronium ion

base : methoxide ion

conjugate acid : methanol

conjugate base: water

b) $CH_3CH_2O^-+HCl\rightleftharpoons CH_3CH_2OH+Cl^-$

acid : hydrogen chloride

base : ethoxide ion

conjugate acid : ethanol

conjugate base: chloride ion

c) $NH_2^-+CH_3OH\rightleftharpoons NH_3+CH_3O^-$

acid : methanol

base : amide ion

conjugate acid : ammonia

conjugate base: methoxide ion

Explanation:

According to the Bronsted-Lowry conjugate acid-base theory, an acid is defined as a substance which looses donates protons and thus forming conjugate base and a base is defined as a substance which accepts protons and thus forming conjugate acid.

The species accepting a proton is considered as a base and after accepting a proton, it forms a conjugate acid.

The species losing a proton is considered as an acid and after loosing a proton, it forms a conjugate base

For the given chemical equation:

a) $H_3O^++CH_3O^-\rightleftharpoons CH_3OH+H_2O$

acid : hydronium ion

base : methoxide ion

conjugate acid : methanol

conjugate base: water

b) $CH_3CH_2O^-+HCl\rightleftharpoons CH_3CH_2OH+Cl^-$

acid : hydrogen chloride

base : ethoxide ion

conjugate acid : ethanol

conjugate base: chloride ion

c) $NH_2^-+CH_3OH\rightleftharpoons NH_3+CH_3O^-$

acid : methanol

base : amide ion

conjugate acid : ammonia

conjugate base: methoxide ion
