Answer:

KNO₂

Explanation:

To get the empirical formula of a compound, we follow a series of steps.

Step 1: Given data

%K = 45.942%

%N = 16.458%

%O = 100.000% - 45.942% - 16.458% = 37.600%

Step 2: Divide each percentage by the atomic mass of the element

K: 45.942 / 39.098 = 1.1750

N: 16.458 / 14.007 = 1.1750

O: 37.600 / 15.999 = 2.3501

Step 3: We divide all the coefficients by the smallest number

K: 1.1750 / 1.1750 = 1

N: 1.1750 / 1.1750 = 1

O: 2.3501 / 1.1750 = 2

The empirical formula is KNO₂.

Classify the following substituents according to whether they are electron donors or electron acceptors relative to hydrogen by
igor_vitrenko [27]

Species that have a lone pair of electrons often donate electrons by resonance while substituents that are electron deficient take away electrons by resonance.

<h3>What is resonance?</h3>

The term resonace has to do with the movement of electron pairs in a molecule. Inductive effects has to do with the drawing of electron density towards an atom or bond.

The two effects depends on the nature of a substituent. For instance, species that have a lone pair of electrons often donate electrons by resonance while substituents that are electron deficient take away electrons by resonance.

The question is incomplete hence the exact nature of the substituents can not be determined.

0.10 M potassium chromate is slowly added to a solution containing 0.20 M AgNO3 and 0.20 M Ba(NO3)2. What is the Ag+ concentrati
erastova [34]

Answer:

[Ag^{+}]=4.2\times 10^{-2}M

Explanation:

Given:

[AgNO3] = 0.20 M

Ba(NO3)2 = 0.20 M

[K2CrO4] = 0.10 M

Ksp of Ag2CrO4 = 1.1 x 10^-12

Ksp of BaCrO4 = 1.1 x 10^-10

BaCrO_4 (s)\leftrightharpoons  Ba^{2+}(aq)\;+\;CrO_{4}^{2-}(aq)

Ksp=[Ba^{2+}][CrO_{4}^{2-}]

1.2\times 10^{-10}=(0.20)[CrO_{4}^{2-}]

[CrO_{4}^{2-}]=\frac{1.2\times 10^{-10}}{(0.20)}= 6.0\times 10^{-10}

Now,

Ag_{2}CrO_4(s) \leftrightharpoons  2Ag^{+}(aq)\;+\;CrO_{4}^{2-}(aq)

Ksp=[Ag^{+}]^{2}[CrO_{4}^{2-}]

1.1\times 10^{-12}=[Ag^{+}]^{2}](6.0\times 10^{-10})

[Ag^{+}]^{2}]=\frac{1.1\times 10^{-12}}{(6.0\times 10^{-10})}= 1.8\times 10^{-3}

[Ag^{+}]=\sqrt{1.8\times 10^{-3}}=4.2\times 10^{-2}M

So, BaCrO4 will start precipitating when [Ag+] is 4.2 x 1.2^-2 M

Identify the Brønsted-Lowry acid, the Brønsted-Lowry base, the conjugate acid, and the conjugate base in each reaction:
ExtremeBDS [4]

Answer:

C5H5N is the base and C5H5NH+ is the conjugate acid

H2O is the acid and OH− is the conjugate base

Explanation:

<u>Hydrogen + is also called a proton</u>

C5H5N is the base because it receives the proton (H+) and C5H5NH+ is its conjugate acid

H2O is the acid  because it gives up the proton and OH− is the conjugate base because it is capable of receiving the proton

Answer:

HNO3 is the acid and NO3- is the conjugate base

H2O is the base and H3O+ is the conjugate acid

Explanation

HNO3 is the acid and NO3− is its conjugate base, capable of receiving a proton

H2O is the base because it receives the proton and H3O+ is a conjugate acid capable of giving up the proton.
