Answer:

b, c, and d.

Explanation:

In an acid-base reaction, the equilibrium favors the weaker acid, thus, to the reaction favors it, the product must be weaker than the acid given. As higher is the value of pKa, as weak is the acid. Thus, the base must form a conjugate acid with pKa > 25.

The values of pKa can be found in equilibrium tables. The salts will dissociate to form the acids, which will gain one proton (H+)

a. CH3ONa -> Conjugate acid CH3OH, pKa = 15.5

b. NaNH2 -> Conjugate acid NH3, pKa = 38

c. NaH -> Conjugate acid H2, pKa = 35

d. CH3CH2Li -> Conjugate acid CH3CH3, pKa = 50

e. H2O -> Conjugate acid H3O+, pKa = -1.7

f. NH3 -> Conjugate acid NH4+, pKa = 9.2

Thus, the ones with pKa > 25 are NH3, H2, and CH3CH3, thus the bases are NaNH2, NaH, and CH3CH2Li.

Complete this sentence. If mass remains the same while the volume of a substance ________, the density of the substance will____
Andre45 [30]
<span> If mass remains the same while the volume of a substance increases, the density of the substance will decrease. The increase in the volume is called expansion, while the decrease in the volume is called contraction.
</span><span>The density measures how much matter (mass) there is in a given amount of space (volume).  So, if the mass stays the same and the volume increases then there is the same amount of mass ad before but in bigger volume so the density is decreased. </span>

Sodium fluoride reacts with hydroxyapatite to give fluorapatite according to the chemical reaction:
Viefleur [7K]
We are given the balanced equation 2NaF + Ca10(PO4)6(OH)2 → Ca10(PO4)6F2 + 2NaOH. The fluorapatite is the product together with sodium hydroxide. The ions involved are (PO4) 3-, Ca 2+ and <span>F-. We add the charges and check if the sum is zero, 2*10+-3*6+-1*2 =0. the zero sum tells that the compound has zero charge or neutral</span>

Question of organic chemustry .The cyclic compound M is heated with dilute hydrochloric acid what is the product?
kotykmax [81]

HYDROLYSING AMIDES

This page describes the hydrolysis of amides under both acidic and alkaline conditions. It also describes the use of alkaline hydrolysis in testing for amides.

The hydrolysis of amides

What is hydrolysis?

Technically, hydrolysis is a reaction with water. That is exactly what happens when amides are hydrolysed in the presence of dilute acids such as dilute hydrochloric acid. The acid acts as a catalyst for the reaction between the amide and water.

The alkaline hydrolysis of amides actually involves reaction with hydroxide ions, but the result is similar enough that it is still classed as hydrolysis.

Hydrolysis under acidic conditions

Taking ethanamide as a typical amide:

If ethanamide is heated with a dilute acid (such as dilute hydrochloric acid), ethanoic acid is formed together with ammonium ions. So, if you were using hydrochloric acid, the final solution would contain ammonium chloride and ethanoic acid.

Hydrolysis under alkaline conditions

Again, taking ethanamide as a typical amide:

If ethanamide is heated with sodium hydroxide solution, ammonia gas is given off and you are left with a solution containing sodium ethanoate.

Using alkaline hydrolysis to test for an amide

If you add sodium hydroxide solution to an unknown organic compound, and it gives off ammonia on heating (but not immediately in the cold), then it is an amide.

You can recognise the ammonia by smell and because it turns red litmus paper blue.

The possible confusion using this test is with ammonium salts. Ammonium salts also produce ammonia with sodium hydroxide solution, but in this case there is always enough ammonia produced in the cold for the smell to be immediately obvious.

Which statement best describes the formation of a solution?
aev [14]

Answer:

A small amount of solute dissolved in a larger amount of solvent.

Take this analogy to help you understand, if you were to put a teaspoon of sugar in a liter of water it would dissolve, but if you put a sack of sugar in it it would not dissolve! The solute is what is being dissolved and the solvent is what dissolves the solute, so that eliminates some of the options.
