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.

Consider the reaction N2(g) + 2O2(g)2NO2(g) Using standard thermodynamic data at 298K, calculate the entropy change for the surr
zysi [14]

<u>Answer:</u> The value of \Delta S^o for the surrounding when given amount of nitrogen gas is reacted is 231.36 J/K

<u>Explanation:</u>

Entropy change is defined as the difference in entropy of all the product and the reactants each multiplied with their respective number of moles.

The equation used to calculate entropy change is of a reaction is:

\Delta S^o_{rxn}=\sum [n\times \Delta S^o_{(product)}]-\sum [n\times \Delta S^o_{(reactant)}]

For the given chemical reaction:

N_2+2O_2\rightarrow 2NO_2

The equation for the entropy change of the above reaction is:

\Delta S^o_{rxn}=[(2\times \Delta S^o_{(NO_2(g))})]-[(1\times \Delta S^o_{(N_2(g))})+(2\times \Delta S^o_{(O_2(g))})]

We are given:

\Delta S^o_{(NO_2(g))}=240.06J/K.mol\\\Delta S^o_{(O_2)}=205.14J/K.mol\\\Delta S^o_{(N_2)}=191.61J/K.mol

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\Delta S^o_{rxn}=[(2\times (240.06))]-[(1\times (191.61))+(2\times (205.14))]\\\\\Delta S^o_{rxn}=-121.77J/K

Entropy change of the surrounding = - (Entropy change of the system) = -(-121.77) J/K = 121.77 J/K

We are given:

Moles of nitrogen gas reacted = 1.90 moles

By Stoichiometry of the reaction:

When 1 mole of nitrogen gas is reacted, the entropy change of the surrounding will be 121.77 J/K

So, when 1.90 moles of nitrogen gas is reacted, the entropy change of the surrounding will be = \frac{121.77}{1}\times 1.90=231.36 J/K

Hence, the value of \Delta S^o for the surrounding when given amount of nitrogen gas is reacted is 231.36 J/K

What distinguishes a substance from a mixture?
wariber [46]
A mixture consists of numerous substances, whereas a substance does not consist of mixtures, but rather of compounds. Mixtures can be separated physically, while substances cannot.

Given the chemical formulas of the following compounds, name each compound and state the rules you used to determine each name.
Svetlanka [38]
When naming an ionic compound, write the name of the cation, which is the metal first. Then, write the name of the anion, which is the nonmetal. However, you remove the last 2-3 letters and replace suffixes. 

1. RbF --> Rubidium Fluoride
Change fluorine to fluoride
2. CuO --> Copper (II) Oxide
Change oxygen to oxide. Oxide has a charge of -2. Since no subscripts are written, it means they have the same opposite charge. So, we use Copper (II).
