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.

1. A rock with a mass of 66.5g<br>occupies 23.0 cm. Density?​
telo118 [61]

Answer:

2.89 g/cm^3

Explanation:

Since density equals mass over volume (or also seen as d=\frac{m}{v} ), simply divide 66.5 grams by 23.0 cm. This will output an answer of 2.89 g/cm^3.

A gaseous mixture of O2 and N2 contains 37.8% nitrogen by mass. What is the partial pressure of oxygen in the mixture if the tot
kondor19780726 [428]

Answer: The partial pressure of oxygen in the mixture if the total pressure is 525 mmHg is 310 mm Hg

Explanation:

mass of nitrogen = 37.8 g

mass of oxygen = (100-37.8) g = 62.2 g

Using the equation given by Raoult's law, we get:

p_A=\chi_A\times P_T

p_{O_2} = partial pressure of O_2 = ?

\chi_{O_2} = mole fraction of O_2=\frac{\text{Moles of }O_2}{\text{Total moles}}

P_{T} = total pressure of mixture  = 525 mmHg

{\text{Moles of }O_2}=\frac{\text {Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{62.2g}{32g/mol}=1.94moles

{\text{Moles of }N_2}=\frac{\text {Given mass}}{\text {Molar mass}}=\frac{37.8g}{28g/mol}=1.35moles

Total moles = 1.94 + 1.35 = 3.29 moles

\chi_{O_2}=\frac{1.94}{3.29}=0.59

p_{O_2}=\chi_{O_2}\times P_T=0.59\times 525=310mmHg

Thus the partial pressure of oxygen in the mixture if the total pressure is 525 mmHg is 310 mm Hg

How many moles of oxygen atoms are in 7.9E-1 moles of CO_2
Ilya [14]

Answer:

The number of moles of O atom in (7.9\times10^{-1}) mol of CO_{2} = 1.6

Explanation:

1 molecule of CO_{2} contains 2 atoms of O

So, (6.023\times 10^{23}) molecules of  CO_{2} contains (2\times6.023\times10^{23}) atoms of O.

We know that 1 mol of an atom/molecule/ion represents 6.023\times10^{23} numbers of atoms/molecules/ions respectively.

So, (6.023\times 10^{23}) molecules of  CO_{2} is equal to 1 mol of CO_{2}.

(2\times6.023\times10^{23}) atoms of O is equal to 2 moles of O atom.

Hence, 1 mol of CO_{2} contains 2 moles of O atom.

Therefore, (7.9\times10^{-1}) mol of CO_{2} contains (2\times7.9\times10^{-1}) moles of O atom or 1.6 moles of O atom.
