Answer:

The correct answer is option A.

Explanation:

According to the Bronsted-Lowry conjugate acid-base theory:

An acid is defined as a substance which looses donates protons and thus forming conjugate base and a base is defined as a substance which accepts protons and thus forming conjugate acid.

For the given chemical equation:

$NH_3+H_2O\rightleftharpoons NH_4^{+}+OH^-$

Here, $H_2O$ is loosing a proton, thus it is considered as an acid and after losing a proton, it forms $OH^-$ which is a conjugate base.

And, $NH_3$ is gaining a proton, thus it is considered as a base and after gaining a proton, it forms $NH_4^{+}$ which is a conjugate acid.

Hence, the correct answer is option A.

It takes 167 s for an unknown gas to effuse through a porous wall and 99 s for the same volume of n2 gas to effuse at the same t

irakobra [83]

Answer : The molar mass of the unknown gas will be 79.7 g/mol

Explanation : To solve this question we can use graham's law;

Now we can use nitrogen as the gas number 2, which travels faster than gas 1;

So, 167 / 99 = 1.687 So the nitrogen gas is 1.687 times faster that the unknown gas 1

We can compare the rates of both the gases;

So here, Rate of gas 2 / Rate of gas 1 = $\sqrt{(molar mass 1 / molar mass 2)}$

Now, 1.687 = square root [ $\sqrt{(molar mass 1) / (28.01 g/mol N_{2})}$ ]

When we square both the sides we get;

2.845 = (molar mass 1) / (28.01 g/mol N2)

On rearranging, we get,

2.845 X (28.01 g/mol N2) = Molar mass 1

So the molar mass of unknown gas will be = 79.7 g/mol

Define the law of conservation of charge and provide an example.

iren2701 [21]

Answer:

Conservation of Charge is the principle that the total electric charge in an isolated system never changes. The net quantity of electric charge, the amount of positive charge minus the amount of negative charge in the universe, is always conserved.
