Answer:- 0.88
Solution:- Masses of silver and copper metals are given and we are asked to calculate the percentage of silver in the alloy.
mass percent of Ag =
Mass of Ag = 17.6 g
mass of Cu = 2.40 g
mass of alloy = 17.6 g + 2.40 g = 20.0 g
Let's plug in the values in the formula:
mass percentage of Ag =
mass percentage of Ag = 88%
So, the mass percentage of silver in sterling silver is 88% and in decimal form it is 0.88.
Answer: a)
acid : hydronium ion
base : methoxide ion
conjugate acid : methanol
conjugate base: water
b)
acid : hydrogen chloride
base : ethoxide ion
conjugate acid : ethanol
conjugate base: chloride ion
c)
acid : methanol
base : amide ion
conjugate acid : ammonia
conjugate base: methoxide ion
Explanation:
According to the Bronsted-Lowry conjugate acid-base theory, an acid is defined as a substance which looses donates protons and thus forming conjugate base and a base is defined as a substance which accepts protons and thus forming conjugate acid.
The species accepting a proton is considered as a base and after accepting a proton, it forms a conjugate acid.
The species losing a proton is considered as an acid and after loosing a proton, it forms a conjugate base
For the given chemical equation:
a)
acid : hydronium ion
base : methoxide ion
conjugate acid : methanol
conjugate base: water
b)
acid : hydrogen chloride
base : ethoxide ion
conjugate acid : ethanol
conjugate base: chloride ion
c)
acid : methanol
base : amide ion
conjugate acid : ammonia
conjugate base: methoxide ion
