In the following net ionic equation, identify each reactant as either a Bronsted-Lowry acid or a Bronsted-Lowry base. HCN(aq) H2
1 answer:
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:
From above:
We will see that HCN releases an H⁺ ion, thus it is a Bronsted-Lowry acid
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>

The mass of piece of sterling silver jewelry is 33.24 g. It contains 92.5% silver Ag by mass. Since, sterling silver is an alloy of Ag-Cu thus, percentage of Cu will be:
% Cu=100-92.5=7.5%
Thus, mass of copper will be:
Molar mass of Cu is 63.546 g/mol, thus, number of moles of Cu can be calculated as follows:
Here, m is mass and M is molar mass.
Putting the values,
Now, in 1 mole of Cu there are thus, in 0.03923 mol, number of Cu atoms will be:
Thus, number of atoms of Cu will be.
