Answer:

acetic acid, sodium hydroxide

Explanation:

A strong acid is an acid that ionizes in water to give all its hydrogen ion. Weak acid only ionize to a certain degree. Acetic acid (CH3COOH) only ionize to give one hydrogen ion despite having other hydrogen atom. This account for its weak nature as an acid as shown below:

CH3COOH <=> H^+ + CH3COO^-

A strong base is a base that ionizes in water to give all it hydroxide ion. Sodium hydroxide(NaOH) ionizes to give all its hydroxide ions. This make it a strong base as shown below;

NaOH <=> Na^+ + OH^-

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

10.0 grams HgO

9.3 grams Hg

Required

Oxygen gas produced

Solution

Reaction⇒Decomposition

2HgO(s)⇒2Hg(l)+O₂(g)

Conservation of mass applies to a closed system, where the masses before and after the reaction are the same

mass of reactants = mass of products

mass HgO = mass Hg + mass O₂

10 g = 9.3 g + mass O₂

mass O₂ = 0.7 g

Draw the best lewis structure for bro4- and determine the formal charge on bromine

Svetach [21]

Answer :

Lewis-dot structure : It shows the bonding between the atoms of a molecule and it also shows the unpaired electrons present in the molecule. The electrons are represented by dot.

The given molecule is, perbromate ion.

Bromine has '7' valence electrons and oxygen has '6' valence electron.

Therefore, the total number of valence electrons in perbromate ion, $BrO_4^-$ = 7 + 4(6) + 1 = 32
