Answer:

Explanation:

The definition of acids and bases by Arrhenius Theory  was modified and extended by  Bronsted-Lowry.

Bronsted-Lowry defined acid as a molecule or ion which donates a proton while a base is a molecule or ions that accepts the proton. This definition can be extended to include acid -base titrations in non-aqueous solutions.

In this theory, the reaction of an acid with a base constitutes a transfer of a proton from the acid to the base.

From the given information:

\mathsf{HCN _{(aq)} + H_2O_{(l)} \to CN^{-}_{(aq)} + H_3O_{(aq)}}

From above:

We will see that HCN releases an H⁺ ion, thus it is a Bronsted-Lowry acid

H_2O accepts the H⁺ ion ,thus it is a Bronsted-Lowry base.

The formula of the reactant that acts as a proton donor is <u>HCN</u>

The formula of the reactant that acts as a proton acceptor is <u>H2O</u>

Which of the following species has the greatest
Licemer1 [7]

Answer: Option (3) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When there is a negative charge on an atom then we add the charge with the number of electrons. Whereas when there is a positive charge on an atom then we subtract the charge from the number of electrons.

Atomic number of chlorine is 17. So, number of electrons present in Cl^{-} is 17 + 1 = 18 electrons.

Atomic number of cobalt is 27. So, number of electrons present in Co^{4+} is 27 - 4 = 23 electrons.

Atomic number of iron is 26. So, number of electrons present in Fe^{2+} is 26 - 2 = 24 electrons.

Atomic number of vanadium is 23. So, number of electrons present in V is 23 electrons.

Atomic number of scandium is 21. So, number of electrons present in Sc^{2-} is 21 + 2 = 23 electrons.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given species, Fe^{2+} has the greatest  number of electrons.

Explain how it is possible for 10 grams of methane fuel to burn and emit 27 grams of carbon dioxide. Discuss whether or not this
Rufina [12.5K]

This reaction obeys the law of conservation of mass.

Explanation:

In the burning reaction, methane (CH₄) react with oxygen (O₂) to produce carbon dioxide (CO₂) and water (H₂O):

CH₄ + 2 O₂ → CO₂ + 2 H₂O

Now we calculate the number of moles of methane and carbon dioxide:

number of moles = mass / molar weight

number of moles of methane = 10 / 16.04 = 0.62 moles

number of moles of carbon dioxide = 27 / 44.01 = 0.61 moles

From the chemical reaction we see that 1 mole of methane produces 1 moles of carbon dioxide so 0.6 moles of methane produces 0.6 mole of carbon dioxide. This reaction obeys the law of conservation of mass because the mass of reactants is equal to the mass of products.

Which technique often results in the greatest habitat loss
Naddik [55]

Answer: b. Clear cutting

Explanation:

Clear cutting is the correct option. Clear cutting involves the clearing up of entire vegetation cover of the region or cutting up of trees. This will lead to loss of canopy cover from a region. This will cause loss of biodiversity of a region as the animals, birds and insects will loose their habitat. Such faunal species may translocate to new region, decrease in number or may extinct.

In the laboratory a student combines 40.6 mL of a 0.113 M copper(II) sulfate solution with 26.4 mL of a 0.329 M copper(II) iodid
Arisa [49]

Answer : The final concentration of copper(II) ion is, 0.198 M

Explanation :

First we have to calculate the moles of CuSO_4 and CuI_2.

\text{Moles of }CuSO_4=\text{Concentration of }CuSO_4\times \text{Volume of solution}

\text{Moles of }CuSO_4=0.113mol/L\times 0.0406L=0.00459mol

Moles of CuSO_4 = Moles of Cu^{2+} = 0.00459 mol

and,

\text{Moles of }CuI_2=\text{Concentration of }CuI_2\times \text{Volume of solution}

\text{Moles of }CuI_2=0.329mol/L\times 0.0264L=0.00869mol

Moles of CuI_2 = Moles of Cu^{2+} = 0.00869 mol

Now we have to calculate the total moles of copper(II) ion and total volume of solution.

Total moles copper(II) ion = 0.00459 mol + 0.00869 mol

Total moles copper(II) ion = 0.0133 mol

and,

Total volume of solution = 40.6 mL + 26.4 mL = 64.0 mL = 0.067 L    (1 L = 1000 mL)

Now we have to calculate the final concentration of copper(II) ion.

\text{Final concentration of copper(II) ion}=\frac{\text{Total moles}}{\text{Total volume}}

\text{Final concentration of copper(II) ion}=\frac{0.0133mol}{0.067L}=0.198mol/L=0.198M

Thus, the final concentration of copper(II) ion is, 0.198 M
