<u>Answer:</u>

<em>Bronsted Lowry Theory</em>

<em>CO_2 is the acid </em>

<em>H_2 O is the base </em>

<em>H_3 O^+ is the conjugate acid and </em>

<em>HCO_3^- is the conjugate base</em>

<u>Explanation:</u>

Bronsted Lowry Theory:

An acid is a substance that can donate one or more protons

A base is a substance which can accept one or more protons

Hydrogen atom which is neutral (No Charge) contains 1 positive proton, 1 negative electron and 0 neutral neutron.  

Thus Hydrogen atom has no Charge and it is neutral.

When an hydrogen atom loses an electron, Hydrogen ion is formed, which will contain 1 positive proton and 0 negative electron and 0 neutral neutron.

Thus Hydrogen ion has a positive charge.  

Hydrogen ion is also called as a proton since it has only 1 proton in it.

Hydrogen ion in water that is,  

H^++H_2O\Rightarrow H_3O^+

H_3O^+ is called as Hydronium ion.

Acid loses H+ (proton) to form conjugate Base

Base gains H+ (proton) to form conjugate Acid

For example  

Let us consider the example given in the question

CO_2+2H_2 O>H_3 O^+   +HCO_3^- can be written as (removed 1 H_2 O from both the sides )

CO_2+H_2 O>H^++HCO_3^- or  

CO_2+H_2 O  > H_2 CO_3 reversing the equation  

H_2 CO_3+H_2 O>H_3 O^+  +HCO_3^-

H_2 CO_3 is the acid which donates H^+ to form HCO_3^-

H_2 O is the base which gains H^+ to form H_3 O^+

HCO_3^- is the conjugate base and H_3 O^+ is the conjugate acid

So

CO_2 is the acid

H_2 O is the base

H_3 O^+ is the conjugate acid and

HCO_3^- is the conjugate base

Chemistry student needs 15.0 g of painting for an experiment by consulting the CRC handbook of chemistry and physiology the stud
nalin [4]

Answer:

v = 23.96 cm³

Explanation:

Given data:

Mass = 15.0 g

Density = 0.626 g/cm³

Volume = ?

Solution:

Formula:

D=m/v

D= density

m=mass

V=volume

Now we will put the values in formula:

d = m/v

v = m/d

v = 15 g / 0.626 g/cm³

v = 23.96 cm³
