Answer:

d. the conjugate base.

Explanation:

The general reaction of a weak acid, HA, with a strong base YOH, is:

HA + YOH → A⁻ + H₂O + Y⁻

<em>Where A⁻ is the conjugate base of the weak acid and Y⁻ usually is a strong electrolyte.</em>

<em />

That means after he complete reaction you don't have weak acid nor strong base, just conjugate base that will be in equilibrium with water, thus (Strong electrolyte doesn't change pH:

A⁻ + H₂O ⇄ HA + OH⁻

As the equilibrium is producing OH⁻, the pH of the solution is being affected for the conjugate base

Right option:

<h3>d. the conjugate base. </h3>

How many grams of sulfur are in 3.54 g of H2S?
ira [324]

Answer:

3.329 g

Explanation:

First you need to determine the molar mass of H2S which is 34.1 g/mol.

With that we know that to find the moles of H2S we just divide the mass of sample with the molar mass.

3.54 g / 34.1 g/mol = 0.103812317  mol of H2S

This means that there is also 0.103812317  mol of sulfur since there is 1 mole of sulfur per 1 mole of H2S.

The molar mass of sulfur is 32.065 g/mol and to find the mass of sulfur you need to multiply the molar mass with the moles of the compound.  

0.103812317  mol * 32.065 g/mol = 3.329 g of sulfur

Let me know if you get something else or if something is unclear in the comments so that we can figure it out.

Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer: 588.8 seconds

Explanation:

1.00 - 0.25 = 0.75M

4.00 - 0.320 = 3.68M

Therefore,

0.75M in 120 seconds

3.68M in x seconds

Cross multiply:

0.75*x = 120*3.68

x = 120*3.68/0.75

x = 588.8 seconds

Why is burning of plastics not considered a good method for their disposal?
Sindrei [870]
Plastics release chemicals and fumes when burned which can harm the enviroment around them. A good method for their disposal would be recycling them so they can later be used as something else.
