CO2+2H2O=H3O^++HCO3^-

bekas [8.4K]

Answer:

Bronsted Lowry Theory

$CO_2$ is the acid

$H_2 O$ is the base

$H_3 O^+$ is the conjugate acid and

$HCO_3^-$ is the conjugate base

Explanation:

Bronsted Lowry Theory:

An acid is a substance that can donate one or more protons

A base is a substance which can accept one or more protons

Hydrogen atom which is neutral (No Charge) contains 1 positive proton, 1 negative electron and 0 neutral neutron.

Thus Hydrogen atom has no Charge and it is neutral.

When an hydrogen atom loses an electron, Hydrogen ion is formed, which will contain 1 positive proton and 0 negative electron and 0 neutral neutron.

Thus Hydrogen ion has a positive charge.

Hydrogen ion is also called as a proton since it has only 1 proton in it.

Hydrogen ion in water that is,

$H^++H_2O\Rightarrow H_3O^+$

$H_3O^+$ is called as Hydronium ion.

Acid loses H+ (proton) to form conjugate Base

Base gains H+ (proton) to form conjugate Acid

For example

Let us consider the example given in the question

$CO_2+2H_2 O>H_3 O^+ +HCO_3^-$ can be written as (removed 1 $H_2 O$ from both the sides )

$CO_2+H_2 O>H^++HCO_3^-$ or

$CO_2+H_2 O > H_2 CO_3$ reversing the equation

$H_2 CO_3+H_2 O>H_3 O^+ +HCO_3^-$

$H_2 CO_3$ is the acid which donates $H^+$ to form $HCO_3^-$

$H_2 O$ is the base which gains $H^+$ to form $H_3 O^+$

$HCO_3^-$ is the conjugate base and $H_3 O^+$ is the conjugate acid

$CO_2$ is the acid

$H_2 O$ is the base

$H_3 O^+$ is the conjugate acid and

$HCO_3^-$ is the conjugate base

Which will NOT occur when a light tray ray interacts with a smooth pane of glass?

zhuklara [117]

Answer:

B) diffraction

Explanation:

A smooth pane of glass does not diffract light. A light passing through a smooth pane of glass may be absorbed, reflected or transmitted.

Diffraction only occurs with special types of glasses embedded with a diffraction grating and are called super prisms. Diffraction glasses use a a gradient lens which is able to separate light into all the colors of the rainbow.

Recall that diffraction is the separation of white light into its component wavelengths.

Identify the following as either a chemical symbol or a chemical formula. CO Co W Be HI

Nat2105 [25]

Answer:

CO is the chemical formula for carbon monoxide.

Co is the chemical symbol for cobalt.

W is the chemical symbol for tungsten.

Be is the chemical symbol for beryllium.

HI is the chemical formula for hydrogen iodide.

Explanation:

Chemical symbols are either written as a single uppercase letter (ex. O) or an uppercase letter and a lowercase letter (ex. Na).

Chemicals can be anything else! For example CO or even somthing like LiIO.
