Answer : The balanced equation is,

$HF+H_2O\rightleftharpoons H_3O^++F^-$

Explanation :

According to the Bronsted Lowry concept, Bronsted Lowry-acid is a substance that donates one or more hydrogen ion in a reaction and Bronsted Lowry-base is a substance that accepts one or more hydrogen ion in a reaction.

The balanced chemical reaction will be,

$HF+H_2O\rightleftharpoons H_3O^++F^-$

In this reaction, hydrofluoric acid is act as a Bronsted Lowry-acid because it donate one hydrogen ion to $H_2O$ and $H_3O^+$ is act as a Bronsted Lowry-base because it accept one hydrogen ion from $HF$ .

What is the value for (delta)G at 1000 K if (delta)H = -220 kJ/mol and (delta)S = -0.05 kJ/(molK)?

tankabanditka [31]

The system is isothermal, so we use the formula:
(delta)G = (delta)H - T (delta) S

Plugging in the given values:
(delta)G = -220 kJ/ mol - (1000K) (-0.05 kJ/mol K)
(delta)G = -170 kJ/mol

If we take a basis of 1 mol, the answer is
D. -170 kJ

How many photons are contained in a burst of yellow light (589 nm) from a sodium lamp that contains 623 kJ of energy?

Goryan [66]

<span>First we need to find the energy of one photon with a wavelength of 589 nm. E = hc / wavelength E = (6.63 x 10^{-34} J s)(3 x 10^8 m/s) / (589 x 10^{-9} m) E = 3.3769 x 10^{-19} Joules To find N, the number of photons, we need to divide the total energy by the energy of each photon. N = 623000 J / 3.3769 x 10^{-19} Joules N = 1.84 x 10^{24} photons There are 1.84 x 10^{24} photons in the burst of yellow light.</span>
