Answer:

The structures are shown below.

Explanation:

When the acid reacts with water, it loses one proton (H⁺) and forms a base, which is the conjugate base of its acid.

The formal charge of an atom can be calculated by:

FC = X - (Y + Z/2)

Where X is the valence electrons of the neutral atom, Y is the unshared electrons, and Z is the shared electrons in the molecule.

a) When HCl deprotonates, it forms Cl⁻ as the conjugate base. The neutral atom Cl has 7 valence electrons (X), the ion has 8 unshared electrons (Y) and none shared electrons, so FC = -1 The structure is shown below in figure a.

b) When Hbr deprotonates it forms Br- as the conjugate base. The neutral atom has 7 valence electrons (X), the ion has 8 unshared electrons (Y) and none shared electrons, so FC = -1. The structure is shown below in figure b.

c) When CH3COOH loses a proton, it forms the conjugate base CH3COO⁻. The carbon as 4 valence electrons, hydrogen has 1 valence electron and oxygen has 6 valence electrons. The first carbon make simple bonds with each hydrogen and with the second carbon, and so, all the electrons are shared, and it has FC = 4 - (0 + 8/2) = 0, as so the hydrogens have FC = 1 - (0 + 2/2) = 0.

The second carbon does 1 simple bond with the first carbon, a double bond with one oxygen, and a simple bond with the other oxygen, and so doesn't have unshared electrons, and FC = 4 - (0 + 8/2) = 0.

The first oxygen does a double bond with the carbon, and so it has 4 unshared electrons, so FC = 6 - (4 + 4/2) = 0. The second oxygen does a simple bond with the carbon, and so has 5 unshared electrons, so FC = 6 - (5 + 2/2) = 0.

The structure is shown in figure c.

Answer:

Explanation:

A conjugate acid can release or donate a proton. A conjugate base is the name given to the species that remains after the acid has donated its proton. The conjugate base can accept a proton.

A. HCl acid  Cl conjugate base

B. HBr acid  Br conjugate base

C.  CH3COOH acid  CH3COO conjugate base

How many milliliters of 5.50 m hcl(aq) are required to react with 9.55 g of zn(s)?
Ganezh [65]
Zn(s) + 2HCl(aq) --> ZnCl2(aq) + H2(g)  From the balanced chemical equation, 2 moles of HCl is required to react with 1 mole of Zn   Mass of Zn = 9.55 g  Molar mass of Zinc = 65.41 g/mol   Number of moles = mass / molar mass   Moles of Zn = 9.55 / 65.41   = 0.146 mol  Moles of HCl required = 2 x moles of Zn   = 2 x 0.146   = 0.292 mol

Calculate the pH of a solution with [OH−]=1.3×10−2M. (Hint: Begin by using Kw to find [H3O+].)
Nookie1986 [14]

Answer:

12.11.

Explanation:

∵ pOH = - log[OH⁻]

<em>∴ pOH</em> = - log(1.3 x 10⁻²) = <em>1.886.</em>

∵ pH + pOH = 14.

<em>∴ pH = 14 - pOH</em> = 14 - 1.886 = <em>12.11.</em>

For the oxidation-reduction reaction equation given here 4ga+p4 indicate how many electrons are transferred in the formation of
sergij07 [2.7K]
The reaction given is:

4Ga + P4 ---> 4GaP

The oxidation number of the reactants is zero, because they are pure elements.

The P in compounds may have oxidation states 3- or 5-. Gallium may only have oxidation state 3+.

Then, to be neutral in GaP the oxidation states are 3+ for Ga and 3- for P.

And the transference of electrons can be see in this oxidation - reduction equations:

Ga (0) - 3 e-    ----> Ga (3+)

P (0) + 3e- ---> P (3-)

So, for one formula unit, 3 electrons have been transfered from each Ga atom to P atom to form one GaP unit.

Answer: 3 electrons.
