Answer:

B is a stronger base than A^-, which is a stronger base than H2O, which is a stronger base than CI^-

Explanation:

The general equation for each acid is:

HA(aq) + H2O(ac) ⇄ H3O+(aq) + A-(aq)

HB(aq) + H2O(ac) ⇄ H3O+(aq) + B-(aq)

When these acids dissociate into its ions in water they lose a proton (H+), so they are proton donors (acids) and H2O is the proton acceptor (base). This reaction produces a conjugate acid and a conjugate base.

Conjugate base is what remains of the acid molecule after it loses a proton:

HA = acid         A- Conjugate base

HB = acid         B- Conjugate base

A conjugate acid is formed when the proton is transferred to the base

H2O = base                H3O+ = Conjugate acid

The stronger acid will produce a weaker base. According to this, if HA is a stronger acid than HB, A- would be the weaker base (B- is the stronger base).

Compared with water, A- and B- are stronger bases because when they compete for a proton they have much greater affinity for H+ than water does and the equilibrium position will lie far to the left. (HA and HB are weak acids)

Finally Cl- is the weakest base because it comes after dissociation of HCl which is a strong acid

HCl(aq) + H2O → H3O+(aq) + Cl-(aq)

Note there is no double arrows, equilibrium lies far to the right. A strong acid yields a weak conjugate base it means one that has a low affinity for a proton.

Rank the following from highest to lowest priority according to the Cahn-Ingold-Prelog system: -CH2CH3, -CHCH2, -CCH, -CH3.
mario62 [17]

Answer:

The order will be:

CCH > CHCH₂ > CH₂CH₃> CH₃

Explanation:

According to Cahn-Ingold-Prelog system we rank the groups based on the atomic number of directly attached atom with the chiral carbon.

For example: between C and H, we rank Carbon first.

If the same atoms are attached for different groups then we prioritized based on the second element with highest atomic number.

For example:

Among CH₃ and C₂H₅, the priority will be given to C₂H₅.

If an atom is double or triple bonded to the directly attached atom then each pi bond is considered to be a new atom.

Hence CH=CH₂ means, that there are two carbons attached to CH carbon.

So the order based on above selection rules will be:

CCH > CHCH₂ > CH₂CH₃> CH₃

What is the Molar mass of Cu2So4
almond37 [142]

Answer: Copper(I) sulfate, also known as cuprous sulfate and dicopper sulfate, is the chemical compound with the chemical formula Cu2SO4 and a molar mass of 223.15 g mol−1. It is an unstable compound as copper(I) compounds are generally unstable and is more commonly found in the CuSO4 state. It is white in color at room temperature and is water-soluble. Due to the low-stability of the compound there are currently not many applications to date.
