79.1% Cu
20.2% O

You divide each mass of the element by the total mass and times it by 100 to make it percent.

Name each of the following species for the following acid-base reactions. (The equilibrium lies to the right in each case, i.e.,

DaniilM [7]

Answer: a) $H_3O^++CH_3O^-\rightleftharpoons CH_3OH+H_2O$

acid : hydronium ion

base : methoxide ion

conjugate acid : methanol

conjugate base: water

b) $CH_3CH_2O^-+HCl\rightleftharpoons CH_3CH_2OH+Cl^-$

acid : hydrogen chloride

base : ethoxide ion

conjugate acid : ethanol

conjugate base: chloride ion

c) $NH_2^-+CH_3OH\rightleftharpoons NH_3+CH_3O^-$

acid : methanol

base : amide ion

conjugate acid : ammonia

conjugate base: methoxide ion

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.

The species accepting a proton is considered as a base and after accepting a proton, it forms a conjugate acid.

The species losing a proton is considered as an acid and after loosing a proton, it forms a conjugate base

For the given chemical equation:

a) $H_3O^++CH_3O^-\rightleftharpoons CH_3OH+H_2O$

acid : hydronium ion

base : methoxide ion

conjugate acid : methanol

conjugate base: water

b) $CH_3CH_2O^-+HCl\rightleftharpoons CH_3CH_2OH+Cl^-$

acid : hydrogen chloride

base : ethoxide ion

conjugate acid : ethanol

conjugate base: chloride ion

c) $NH_2^-+CH_3OH\rightleftharpoons NH_3+CH_3O^-$

acid : methanol

base : amide ion

conjugate acid : ammonia

conjugate base: methoxide ion

Assume that 1.0 mol of C4H10 is completely burned in excess oxygen to form carbon dioxide and water. How many moles of CO2 would

In-s [12.5K]

You need to first write a chemical equation and balance it
C₄H₁₀ + O₂ → CO₂ + H₂O
2 C₄H₁₀ + 13 O₂ → 8 CO₂ + 10 H₂O
1.0 moles X moles
1.0 mol C₄H₁₀ ( $\frac{8 mol CO₂}{2 mol C₄H₁₀}$ ) = 4 moles of CO₂

What is the wavelength of a wave?

liberstina [14]

Answer:

Wavelength (λ) – The distance of one complete cycle in the wave. The distance between two consecutive crests and /or troughs. S.I. Unit: metre (m).

In other words:

Wavelength is the distance from crest to crest (or trough to trough).

Match the separation techniques with the correct descriptions.

nordsb [41]

Answer:

Explanation:

1 = A

Sublimation is the process where by a sample is heated to pass through solid phase to gaseous phase without the intermittent liquid phase. Example of substance that sublime is camphor.

2 = D

Decantantion

5 = F

Filtration is the process a liquid from solid using a porous material. This technique requires a set up and a good porous material eg filter paper.

6 = B

This technique is to separate a mixture of solids by converting them from solid phase to gaseous phase since they sublime.

3 = deposition.

The answer isn't in the option but deposition is the process of substance in gaseous phase to change into solid state without passing through liquid phase. Deposition is the opposite of sublimation.

4 = E
