Answer:
Lewis acid is a substance that donates a lone-pair of electrons.
Explanation:
What is said in the statement corresponds to a Lewis base, not an acid. For example, NH3 is a Lewis base, since it is capable of donating its pair of electrons. Trimethylborane (Me3B) is a Lewis acid, since it is capable of accepting a solitary pair.
Answer:
Grams of mercury= 0.06 g of Hg
Note: The question is incomplete. The complete question is as follows:
A compact fluorescent light bulb contains 4 mg of mercury. How many grams of mercury would be contained in 15 compact fluorescent light bulbs?
Explanation:
Since one fluorescent light bulb contains 4 mg of mercury,
15 such bulbs will contain 15 * 4 mg of mercury = 60 mg
1 mg = 0.001 g
Therefore, 60 mg = 0.001 g * 60 = 0.06 g of mercury.
Compact fluorescent lightbulbs (CFLs) are tubes containing mercury and noble gases. When electricity is passed through the bulb, electron-streams flow from a tungsten-coated coil. They collide with mercury atoms, exciting their electrons and creating flashes of ultraviolet light. A phosphor coating on the inside of the tube absorbs this UV light flashes and re-emits it as visible light. The amount of mercury in a fluorescent lamp varies from 3 to 46 mg, depending on lamp size and age.
Alkali are soluble bases, however not all bases are soluble in water, therefore not all bases are Alkali.
Answer:
For part (a): pHsol=2.22
Explanation:
I will show you how to solve part (a), so that you can use this example to solve part (b) on your own.
So, you're dealing with formic acid, HCOOH, a weak acid that does not dissociate completely in aqueous solution. This means that an equilibrium will be established between the unionized and ionized forms of the acid.
You can use an ICE table and the initial concentration ofthe acid to determine the concentrations of the conjugate base and of the hydronium ions tha are produced when the acid ionizes
HCOOH(aq]+H2O(l]⇌ HCOO−(aq] + H3O+(aq]
I 0.20 0 0
C (−x) (+x) (+x)
E (0.20−x) x x
You need to use the acid's pKa to determine its acid dissociation constant, Ka, which is equal to
