The empirical formula, CH2, has a relative molecular mass of

1×(12.01)+2×(1.01)=14.04

This means that the empirical formula must be multiplied by a factor to bring up its molecular weight to 70. This factor can be calculated as the ratio of the relative masses of the molecular and empirical formulas

7014.04=4.98≈5

Remember that subscripts in molecular formulas must be in whole numbers, hence the rounding-off. Finally, the molecular formula is

C1×5H2×5=C5H10

Define the following: Bronsted-Lowry acid - Lewis acid- Strong acid - (5 points) Problem 6: Consider the following acid base rea

Allushta [10]

Answer: Yes, $HCl$ is a strong acid.

acid = $HCl$ , conjugate base = $Cl^-$ , base = $H_2O$ , conjugate acid = $H_3O^+$

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.

Yes $HCl$ is a strong acid as it completely dissociates in water to give $H^+$ ions.
