We find the weight of the empirical formula:
12.0107 + 2 x 1.00794 + 15.9994
= 30.03
Now, we divide the molecular weight by the weight of the empirical formula to find the number of times the empirical formula repeats:
90.09 / 30.03
= 3
The formula is 3(CH₂O)
C₃H₆O₃
The correct number of significant figures and digits is 3
Answer:
The relative conjugate acids and bases are listed below:
CH3NH2 → CH3NH3+
H2SO3→ HSO3-
NH3→ NH4+
Explanation:
In a Brønsted-Lowry acid-base reaction, a conjugate acid is the species resulting from a base accepting a proton; likewise, a conjugate base is the species formed after an acid has donated a hydrogen atom (proton).
To this end:
- HSO3- is the conjugate acid of H2SO3 i.e sulfuric acid has lost a proton (H+)
- NH4+ is the conjugate acid of NH3 i.e the base ammonia has gained a proton (H+)
- OH- is the conjugate base of H20
- CH3NH3+ is the conjugate base of the base CH3NH2 methylamine
