Answer :

HCl : Bronsted-Lowry acid

$BF_3\text{ and }^{+}CCl_3$ : Lewis-acid

$^-H, CH_2O,^-OCH_3\text{ and }NH_3$ : Bronsted-Lowry base

$^-H, CH_2O,^-OCH_3,CH_3Cl\text{ and }NH_3$ : Lewis-base

Explanation :

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

According to the Lewis concept, an acid is defined as a substance that accepts electron pairs and base is defined as a substance which donates electron pairs.

HCl :

It is a Bronsted-Lowry acid that donates protons.

$BF_3\text{ and }^{+}CCl_3$ :

It is a Lewis-acid that accepts electron pairs.

$^-H, CH_2O,^-OCH_3\text{ and }NH_3$ :

It is a Bronsted-Lowry base that accepts protons.

$^-H, CH_2O,^-OCH_3,CH_3Cl\text{ and }NH_3$ :

It is a Lewis-base that donates electron pairs.

How does the concentration of a gas in solution change when the partial pressure of the gas above the solution increases?

irakobra [83]

Because the concentration of molecules in the gas phase increases with increasing pressure, the concentration of dissolved gas molecules in the solution at equilibrium is also higher at higher pressures

Solve the question that follows using the equation for the conversion of Celsius to Fahrenheit. F=95(C)+32 On February 9, 1934,

ahrayia [7]

Answer:

Buffalo, NY was colder on February 9, 1934

Explanation:

Temperature is the measure of thermal energy present in a given substance. It is a physical property of a matter which can be measured on the Celsius scale (°C), Fahrenheit scale (°F), and Kelvin scale (K).

To convert Celsius (°C) to Fahrenheit (°F), we use the equation:

°F = 9/5 (°C) + 32

Given: On February 9, 1934,

Temperature in Buffalo, NY: T₁ = (- 29) °C

Temperature in Anchorage, AL: T₂ = 19 °F

To convert T₁ from °C to °F:

9/5 (- 29 °C) + 32 = (- 52.2) + 32 = (- 20.2) °F

So,

Temperature in Buffalo, NY: T₁ = (- 20.2) °F

Temperature in Anchorage, AL: T₂ = 19 °F

⇒ T₁ < T₂

Therefore, Buffalo, NY was colder on February 9, 1934.

Which element would be expected to have chemical and physical properties closest to those of rubidium?

DIA [1.3K]

Rubidium is an element that belongs to Group 1. As such it will have physical properties similar to the other Group 1 elements. Rubidium is below Potassium in the periodic table but above Cesium. As such it would be most like one of those two elements.

A)The lower the greenhouse gases, the higher the ocean temperature.

HACTEHA [7]

The higher the greenhouse gases, the higher the ocean temperature

"The ocean absorbs most of the excess heat from greenhouse gas emissions, leading to rising ocean temperatures"

hope this helps :)

HELP PLS !!!! :))Formula unit of Sr and CI Formula unit of AI and S

xenn [34]

Answer : The formula unit of Sr & Cl is $SrCl_2$ and the formula unit of Al & S is $Al_2S_3$

Explanation :

Formula unit : it is defined as the lowest number ratio of ions of an elements in an ionic compound or covalent compound.

For the formula unit of Sr & Cl, two chloride ions $(Cl^-)$ are needed to neutralize the one strontium ion $(Sr^{2+})$ .

For the formula unit of Al & S, three sulfide ions $(S^{2-})$ are needed to neutralize the two aluminium ion $(Al^{3+})$ .

The formula unit of $SrCl_2$ and $Al_2S_3$ are shown below.
