More H+ and F would be produced.

Option D.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Hydrofluoric acid is one of the strong acid, but not as strong as hydrogen chloride. This is because the fluorine is much small atom which strongly attracts the Electron of hydrogen, but also exhibits covalent bond.

So in solution, hydrogen fluoride partially breaks into hydrogen ions and fluoride ions.

So when in solution, they exhibit an equilibrium between the HF and hydrogen ions and fluoride ions. So when more amounts of hydrogen fluoride is added to solution, the concentration of hydrogen fluoride increases in solution. This shifts the reaction to the reactant side, and hence more dissociation of the hydrogen and fluoride ions will occur and this will produce more hydrogen ions and fluoride ions.

Is ammonium ion a bronsted base

Leokris [45]

Unlikely. It's unlikely for ammonium ion ${\text{NH}_4}^{+}$ to accept a proton $\text{H}^{+}$ and act as a Bronsted-Lowry Acid.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

What's the definition of Bronsted-Lowry acids and bases?

Bronsted-Lowry Acid: a species that can donate one or more protons $\text{H}^{+}$ in a reaction.

Bronsted-Lowry Base: a species that can accept one or more protons $\text{H}^{+}$

Ammonium ions ${\text{NH}_4}^{+}$ are positive. Protons $\text{H}^{+}$ are also positive.

Positive charges repel each other, which means that it will be difficult for ${\text{NH}_4}^{+}$ to accept any additional protons. As a result, it's unlikely that ${\text{NH}_4}^{+}$ will accept <em>any</em> proton and act like a Bronsted-Lowry Base.

If a gas sample has a pressure of 30.7 kPa at 0.00*C, by how much does the temperature have to decrease to lower the pressure to

Scrat [10]

Answer:

252.68 K or -20.46 °C

Explanation:

According to Gay-Lussac's Law, "Pressure and Temperature at given volume are directly proportional to each other".

Mathematically,

P₁ / T₁ = P₂ / T₂ ---- (1)

Data Given:

P₁ = 30.7 kPa

T₁ = 0.00 °C = 273.15 K

P₂ = 28.4 kPa

T₂ = <u>???</u>

Solving equation for T₂,

T₂ = P₂ T₁ / P₁

Putting values,

T₂ = 28.4 kPa × 273.15 K / 30.7 kPa

T₂ = 252.68 K or -20.46 °C
