GREYUIT [131]3 years ago
4 0

The question is incomplete; the complete question is;

Why will the conjugate base of a weak acid affect pH? Select the correct answer below: O it will react with hydroxide

O it will react with water

O it will react with hydronium

O none of the above Content attribution

Answer:

O it will react with hydronium

Explanation:

If we have a weak acid HA, the weak acid ionizes as follows;

HA(aq) ----> H^+(aq) + A^-(aq)

A^- is the conjugate base of the weak acid.

H^+ interacts with water to form the hydronium ion as follows;

H^+(aq) + H2O(l) ----> H3O^+(aq)

The pH=[H3O^+]

But the conjugate base of the weak acid reacts with this hydronium ion thereby affecting its concentration and the pH of the system as follows;

A^-(aq) + H3O^+(aq) ------> HA(aq) + H2O(l)

How is the concept of “heat” related to the law of conservation of energy?
musickatia [10]

Explanation:

The law of conservation of energy states that energy can neither be created nor destroyed - only converted from one form of energy to another. This means that a system always has the same amount of energy, unless it's added from the outside. ... is the heat added to, or removed from, the system.

Stainless steel is an alloy of iron containing 5 percent nickel and 0.175 percent chromium. How many atoms of nickel are present
erica [24]
First you need to work out what mass of 84g of stainless steel is nickel, and because there's 5% you can simply divide by 20, giving 4.2g

For this you can use the equation Moles= \frac{Mass}{Mr}

The mass, as was worked out previously, is 4.2g
The Mr, which is found on the periodic table, is 28

Moles = \frac{4.2}{28} = 0.15mol

1mol = 6.023 x 10^{23} atoms

So, 0.15mol = 0.15 x 6.023 x 10^{23} = 9.0345 x 10^{22} atoms

Which of the following equations represents Photosynthesis? 16CO2 + 6H2O -----> C6H12O6 + 6O22C6H12O6 + 6O2 -----> CO2 + 6
lidiya [134]

Answer:

  • 6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

Explanation:

<em>Photosynthesis</em> is the chemical process carried out by plants for the conversion of inorganic matter (carbon dioxide and water) into organic matter (glucose) with the release of oxygen, using light (sun energy).

So the chemical process may be represented by:

  • <u>Word equation: </u>

        carbon dioxide + water + sun energy → glucose + oxygen

  • <u>Skeleton equation:</u>

       CO₂ + H₂O + sun energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂

  • <u>Balanced chemical equation:</u>

       6CO₂ + 6H₂O + sun energy → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂

  • <u>Supressing the energy to show only the chemical compounds:</u>

        6CO₂ + 6H₂O → C₆H₁₂O₆ + 6O₂
