<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 compound is 54.53% c, 9.15% h, and 36.32% o by mass. what is its empirical formula? the molecular mass of the compound is 132
Yakvenalex [24]
 <span>First - you need the empirical formula. 

So, assume you have 100 g of the compound. 

If so, you'll have 54.53 gram of C, 9.15 g of H and 36.32 g of O. Find the number of moles of each. 

54.53 g C (1 mole C / 12.01 g C) = 4.540 

9.15 g H (1 mole H / 1.008 g H) = 9.077 

36.32 g O (1 mole O / 15.9994 g O) = 2.270 

Take the smallest number found and divide the others by it to get the empirical formula. 

4.540/2.270 = 2. 
9.077/2.270 = 4. 
2.270/2.270 =1. 

So, that gives you the empirical formula of C2H4O. 

Find the weight of this compound. C = 12, H = 1, O = 16. So, C2H4O is 44 amu. 

132/44 = 3. 

So, 3 (C2 H4 O) = C6H12O3 = molecular formula.</span>

Lead (II) nitrate reacts with ammonium carbonate to produce ammonium nitrate
vitfil [10]

Pb(NO₃)₂ + (NH₄)₂CO₃ → PbCO₃ + 2 NH₄NO₃

Explanation:

Reaction of lead (II) nitrate with ammonium carbonate will produce lead (II) carbonate and ammonium nitrate.

The balanced chemical equation is:

Pb(NO₃)₂ + (NH₄)₂CO₃ → PbCO₃ + 2 NH₄NO₃

To balance the chemical equation the number of atoms of each element   entering the reaction have to be equal to the number of atoms of each   element leaving the reaction, in order to conserve the mass.

Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer: The values for Ka and Kb for the species in solution must be known before a prediction can be made

Explanation:

1. If Ka is greater than Kb, the salt solution is acidic

2. If Ka is lesser than Kb, the salt solution is basic

3. If Ka is equal to Kb, the salt solution is acidic

a 5.00 L sample of helium expands to 12.0 L at which point the pressure is measured to be 0.720atm. what was the original pressu
stepan [7]

Answer:

The answer to your question is  Pressure 1 = 1.73 atm

Explanation:

Data

Volume 1 = 5 l

Pressure 1 = ?

Volume 2 = 12 l

Pressure 2 = 0.72 atm

Process

To solve this problem use Boyle's law to solve this problem

                 Pressure 1 x Volume 1 = Pressure 2 x Volume 2

-Solve for Pressure 1

                 Pressure 1 = Pressure 2 x Volume 2 / Volume 1

-Substitutiion

                 Pressure 1 = 0.72 x 12 / 5

-Simplification

                Pressure 1 = 8.64/5

-Result

                 Pressure 1 = 1.73 atm
