The volume of a sample gas, initially at 25 C and 158 mL, increased to 450 mL. What is the final temperature of the sample of ga
Rashid [163]

Answer:

Final temperature of the gas is  576 ^{0}\textrm{C}.

Explanation:

As the amount of gas and pressure of the gas remains constant therefore in accordance with Charles's law:

                                       \frac{V_{1}}{T_{1}}=\frac{V_{2}}{T_{2}}

where V_{1} and V_{2} are volume of gas at T_{1} and T_{2} temperature (in kelvin scale) respectively.

Here V_{1}=158mL , T_{1}=(273+25)K=298K and V_{2}=450mL

So  T_{2}=\frac{V_{2}T_{1}}{V_{1}}=\frac{(450mL)\times (298K)}{(158mL)}=849K 

849 K = (849-273) ^{0}\textrm{C} = 576 ^{0}\textrm{C}

So final temperature of the gas is  576 ^{0}\textrm{C}.

Select the pair that consists of a base and its conjugate acid in that order. CO32−/CO22−
lana [24]

Answer: The pair that consists of a base and its conjugate acid in that order.NH_3/NH_4^+

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.

H_3PO_4\rightarrow H_PO_4{2^-}+2H^+

H_2CO_3\rightarrow HCO_3^-+H^+

NH_3+H^+\rightarrow NH_4^+

HCO_3^-\rightarrow CO_3^{2-}+H^+

NH_3  is gaining a proton, thus it is considered as a brønsted-lowry base and after gaining a proton, it formsNH_4^+  which is a conjugate acid.
