Conjugate base pairs are acid and bases having common features. These features are the equal gain or loss of protons of the pairs. Conjugate pairs should always be one base and one acid. One would not exist without the other. Conjugate acids are the substances that gains protons while conjugates bases are those that loses protons. <span>The substances in the equilibrium reaction that is given is identified as follows:
HCO3^- + H2O <-----> CO3^2- + H3O^+
acid base conjugate base conjugate acid
HCO3^- ion is an intermediate molecule of CO2 and CO3^2-. When we add OH- to HCO3^-, we produce CO3^2-. And when we add H+ to HCO3, we produce CO2. </span>
D. dormancy is the correct answer
I found these four statements for that question:
Each molecule contains four different elements.
Each molecule contains three atoms.
Each molecule contains seven different bonds.
Each molecule contains six oxygen atoms.
The last one is true. Each molecule contains six oxygen atoms.
The number to the right of O and of (NO3) ares subscripts.
The chemical formula uses subscripts to indicate the number of atoms.
The subscript 2 in (NO3)2 means that there are two NO3 radicals.
And the subscript 3 to the right of O means that each NO3 radical has three atoms of O.
Then, the number of atoms of O is 2 * 3 = 6.
So, the true statement is the last one: each molecule of Ba (NO3)2 has six atoms of O.
From that molecule you can also tell:
- Each molecule contains one atom of barium
- Each molecule contains two atoms of nitrogen
- Each molecule contains two NO3 radicals
A lone oxygen atom has 6 electrons in its outer shell which is not very stable, whereas as full octet (8 outer shell electrons) is stable. In order to achieve this two oxygen atoms will share 4 electrons, each contributing 2 electrons. Since these electrons exist within the orbitals of both atoms, to oxygen atoms essentially achieve a full octet.
