Answer:

OH⁻ and H₂O

Explanation:

From the equation given in question ,

NH₃ (aq) + H₂O (l) ⇌ NH₄⁺ (aq) + OH⁻ (aq)

Acids are the species which furnish hydrogen ions in the solution or is capable of forming bonds with electron pair species as they are electron deficient species.

When an acid donates a proton, it changes into a base which is known as its conjugate base.

Bases are the species which furnish hydroxide ions in the solution or is capable of forming bonds with electron deficient species as they are electron rich species. When a base accepts a proton, it changes into a acid which is known as its conjugate acid.

The acid and the base which is only differ by absence or presence of the proton are known as acid conjugate base pair.

Hence , from the equation given in the question ,

The conjugate acid - base pair is -

OH⁻ and H₂O

Please help me and explanation would be really awesome thank you!
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

So the answer would be 10 moles

Explanation:

1) Start with the molecular formula for water: H_{2} O!

2) If there are 10 moles of water use a mole ratio to calculate the moles of oxygen it would produce.

(This question is... interesting... since they chose an element that is diatomic in free state so It could TECHNICALLY be two answers, moles of O or moles of O_{2})

The mole ratio is 1 moles of H_{2}O to 1 moles of O. This is because the coefficient for oxygen in water is simple 1, so the ratio is 1:1.

3) that means if 10 moles of water decompose, they decompose into 10 moles of H_{2} and 10 moles of O.

Extra:

About what I was saying before about the question being slightly interesting:

10 moles of pure oxygen is produced but free state oxygen exists as O_{2} so it could possibly be 10 OR 5! However, notice it says elements. This leads me to believe the answer is 10 (monatomic oxygen) instead of 5 (free state/diatomic oxygen).

I hope this helps!

You have 50 ml of a complex mixture of weak acids that contains some HF (pKa = 3.18) and some HCN (pKa = 9.21). Which is larger,
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

\frac{[F^{-}]}{[HF]} is larger

Explanation:

pK_{a}=-logK_{a} , where K_{a} is the acid dissociation constant.

For a monoprotic acid e.g. HA, K_{a}=\frac{[H^{+}][A^{-}]}{[HA]} and \frac{[A^{-}]}{[HA]}=\frac{K_{a}}{[H^{+}]}

So, clearly, higher the K_{a} value , lower will the the pK_{a}

In this mixture, at equilibrium, [H^{+}] will be constant.

K_{a} of HF is grater than K_{a} of HCN

Hence, (\frac{F^{-}}{[HF]}=\frac{K_{a}(HF)}{[H^{+}]})>(\frac{CN^{-}}{[HCN]}=\frac{K_{a}(HCN)}{[H^{+}]})

So, \frac{[F^{-}]}{[HF]} is larger
