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)

If two gases a and b in separate 1 liter containers

Anton [14]

The pressure exerted when both gases are put together in a single 1 liter container is 5 atm.

<h3>What is pressure?</h3>

Pressure is the force exerted by any object on another object.

Given that, a and b separate 1 liter containers and exert pressure of 2 atm and 3 atm respectively.

When both gases a and b exert together, the pressure then

2 atm + 3 atm = 5 atm.

Thus, the pressure exerted when both gases are put together in a single 1 liter container is 5 atm.

An electrolysis reaction is

Llana [10]

Answer:

the electrolysis reaction is a non- spontaneous reaction

Explanation:

Since electrons flow from it, the anode in an electrolytic cell is positive, while the cathode is negative when electrons flow into it. The device functions like a galvanic cell in that direction. In an electrolytic cell, an external voltage is applied and that is what causes a non spontaneous reaction

When a lead acid car battery is recharged by the alternator, it acts essentially as an electrolytic cell in which solid lead(II)

lesya692 [45]

Answer: The mass of lead deposited on the cathode of the battery is 1.523 g.

Explanation:

Given: Current = 62.0 A

Time = 23.0 sec

Formula used to calculate charge is as follows.

$Q = I \times t$

where,

Q = charge

I = current

t = time

Substitute the values into above formula as follows.

$Q = I \times t\\= 62.0 A \times 23.0 sec\\= 1426 C$

It is known that 1 mole of a substance tends to deposit a charge of 96500 C. Therefore, number of moles obtained by 1426 C of charge is as follows.

$Moles = \frac{1426 C}{96500 C/mol}\\= 0.0147 mol$

The oxidation state of Pb in $PbSO_{4}$ is 2. So, moles deposited by Pb is as follows.

$Moles of Pb = \frac{0.0147}{2}\\= 0.00735 mol$

It is known that molar mass of lead (Pb) is 207.2 g/mol. Now, mass of lead is calculated as follows.

$No. of moles = \frac{mass}{molar mass}\\ 0.00735 = \frac{mass}{207.2 g/mol}\\mass = 1.523 g$

Thus, we can conclude that the mass of lead deposited on the cathode of the battery is 1.523 g.
