Answer: Yes! The statement is true

Explanation:

According to Bronsted-Lowry theory, an acid is a substance that donates a proton and produces a conjugate base while a base is a molecule or ion which accepts the proton.

An example of Bronsted-Lowry acid and base is Ethanoic acid, CH3COOH and hydroxide ion, OH- respectively as shown in the reaction below

CH3COOH(aq) + OH-(aq) <---> CH3COO-(aq) + H2O(l)

The Ethanoic acid acts as an acid by donating a proton to the hydroxide ion which accepts it, thus producing ethanoate ion, CH3COO- as a conjugate base.

Thus, the statement "Acid donates a proton and produces a conjugate base" is true.

Answer:

2 moles of Sn are produced when 4 moles of H2(g) are consumed completely

Explanation:

to determine the number of moles of sn (l) produced when 4.0 moles of H2 (g) is consumed completely.

First, find the number of moles of H2 consumed by taking this as limiting reagent.

$n = \frac{g}{M.W (g/mol)}$

Then find the moles of Sn (l) taking into account the stoichiometric relationship between H2(g) and Sn(l). 2:1

$SnO_{2}$ (s) + 2 $H_{2}$ (g) ⇒ Sn(l) + 2 $H_{2}O$ (g)

$mol Sn(l) = \frac{1mol Sn}{2mol H_{2} } . 4 mol H_{2} = 2 mol$

∴2 moles of Sn are produced when 4 moles of H2(g) are consumed completely.

How does a rock<br>Wither? Explain.

lesantik [10]

First, it combines with carbon dioxide in the soil to form a weak acid called carbonic acid. ... Carbonic acid slowly dissolves away minerals in rock, especially the carbonate minerals that make up limestone and marble. The weak acid decomposes the insoluble rock into watersoluble products that move into the groundwater.
