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.

Luda [366]

Answer is: a possible identity for the unknown compound is C₃H₈.

m(binary compound) = 10.0 g.

m(H₂O) = 16.3 g; mass of water.

M(O₂) = 32 g/mol; molar mass of oxygen.

M(binary compound) = 1.38 · 32 g/mol.

M(binary compound) = 44.16 g/mol.

n(binary compound) = 10 g ÷ 44.16 g/mol.

n(binary compound) = 0.225 mol; amount of substance.

n(H₂O) = 16.3 g ÷ 18 g/mol.

n(H₂O) = 0.9 mol; amount of water.

m(H₂O) : n(binary compound) = 0.9 mol ÷ 0.225 mol.

m(H₂O) : n(binary compound) = 4 : 1.

Unknown cpmpound has 4 times more hydrogen than water, it has 8 hydrogen atoms.

Second element in compound is carbon:

M(X) = 44.16 g/mol - 8 · 1.01 g/mol.

M(X) = 36.08 g/mol ÷ 3.

M(C) = 12.01 g/mol.

How many attoms are equal 6.19 moles of hydrogen?​
Wittaler [7]

Answer:

3.727x10^24 atoms.

Explanation:

When calculating how many molecules are in a compound or element, we refer to Avogardo's number.

Your equation will look like this: 1 mole/ 6.022x10^23 molecules (Avogardo's number).

Multiply 6.19 by Avogardo's number to get your answer.
