<h2>Answer:</h2>

Bronsted-Lowry defines the compound which <u>(A) donates protons</u> as acid.

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

According to this concept, an acid is a substance that donates hydrogen ion in a chemical reaction. Hydrogen ion is same as a proton as it has only one proton in its atom. According to him, a base is that substance that accepts hydrogen in a chemical reaction.

In a general sense, all proton donors are acids and all proton acceptors are bases. The higher the number of hydrogen ion donated, the more acidic the substance.

A buffer solution is composed of 4.00 4.00 mol of acid and 3.25 3.25 mol of the conjugate base. If the p K a pKa of the acid is
Reika [66]

<u>Answer:</u> The pH of the buffer is 4.61

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the pH of acidic buffer, we use the equation given by Henderson Hasselbalch:

pH=pK_a+\log(\frac{[\text{conjuagate base}]}{[\text{acid}]})

We are given:

pK_a = negative logarithm of acid dissociation constant of weak acid = 4.70

[\text{conjuagate base}]} = moles of conjugate base = 3.25 moles

[\text{acid}]  = Moles of acid = 4.00 moles

pH = ?

Putting values in above equation, we get:

pH=4.70+\log(\frac{3.25}{4.00})\\\\pH=4.61

Hence, the pH of the buffer is 4.61

What nuclide undergoes fission to form molybdenum-103, atomic number 42, tin-131, atomic number 50, and two neutrons?
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is Pu, 234.

Explanation:

In the given case, let us consider the reactant as X. Now the mass number (balanced) on both the sides will be,

Mass of X = Mass of Molybdenum + Mass of Tin + Mass of neutrons

M = 1 * 103 + 1 * 131 + 2 * 0

M = 234

Now the atomic number (balanced) on both the sides,

Atomic number of X = Atomic number of Molybdenum + Atomic number of Tin + Atomic number of neutrons

A = 1*42 + 1*50 + 2*1

A = 94

The atomic number 94 is for the element Plutonium, whose symbol is Pu. Thus, the reactant is 234-Pu.
