Explain why conjugate pairs must be composed of weak acids and bases.

Chemistry

lidiya [134]3 years ago

A strong acid must have a weak conjugate base and a weak acid must have a strong conjugate base. The reason behind this is simple.
A "strong" acid or base is actually one that is unstable and will readily dissociate when added to water. A "weak" acid or base is one that is stable, and does not dissociate in water.

If an acid is to be "strong", it must readily dissociate to release hydrogen ions. However, the conjugate base that is formed must also be stable, so that is does not combine back with the released hydrogen ions, making it a weak base.

Relative to protons, electrons have:
saw5 [17]

Answer:

<u><em>(B.) a significantly lower mass that protons</em></u>

Explanation:

The mass (in g) of an electron is 9.11 ×10^{-28}g, which is significantly lower than the mass of protons and neutrons which are approximately the same. They are extremely small (equal to 0 amu), contributing nothing to the overall mass of the atom.

The nucleus has a mass of 1 amu and is positively charged.

How many molecules are in 3 moles of potassium bromide (KBr)
sattari [20]

Answer:

Your strategy here will be to use the molar mass of potassium bromide,

KBr

, as a conversion factor to help you find the mass of three moles of this compound.

So, a compound's molar mass essentially tells you the mass of one mole of said compound. Now, let's assume that you only have a periodic table to work with here.

Potassium bromide is an ionic compound that is made up of potassium cations,

K

+

, and bromide anions,

Br

−

. Essentially, one formula unit of potassium bromide contains a potassium atom and a bromine atom.

Use the periodic table to find the molar masses of these two elements. You will find

For K:

M

M

=

39.0963 g mol

For Br:

M

M

=

79.904 g mol

To get the molar mass of one formula unit of potassium bromide, add the molar masses of the two elements

M

M KBr

=

39.0963 g mol

79.904 g mol

≈

119 g mol

So, if one mole of potassium bromide has a mas of

119 g

m it follows that three moles will have a mass of

You should round this off to one sig fig, since that is how many sig figs you have for the number of moles of potassium bromide, but I'll leave it rounded to two sig figs
