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

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.

A balloon that had a volume of 3.50 L at 25.0°C is placed in a hot room at 40.0°C. If the pressure remains constant at 1.00 atm,
inna [77]

Answer:

3.676 L.

Explanation:

  • We can use the general law of ideal gas: PV = nRT.

where, P is the pressure of the gas in atm.

V is the volume of the gas in L.

n is the no. of moles of the gas in mol.

R  is the general gas constant,

T is the temperature of the gas in K.

  • If n and P are constant, and have different values of V and T:

(V₁T₂) = (V₂T₁)

  • Knowing that:

V₁ = 3.5 L, T₁ = 25°C + 273 = 298 K,

V₂ = ??? L, T₂ = 40°C + 273 = 313 K,

  • Applying in the above equation

(V₁T₂) = (V₂T₁)

∴ V₂ = (V₁T₂)/(T₁) = (3.5 L)(313 K)/(298 K) = 3.676 L.

When a substance is heated, what causes its properties to change?
hoa [83]

The molecules vibrate when the substance is heated, and the shape of the substance begins to form a different shape. For example: when you hear up metal it will melt becuase its molecules are changing and moving.

Katena32 [7]

Answer:

temperature and number of molecules of gas

Explanation:

Boyle's law is one of the gas laws, which states that the volume of a gas is inversely proportional to the pressure at a constant temperature. The Boyle's law equation is given as follows:

P ∝ (1/V)

P = K/V

PV = K

Based on these, the temperature of an ideal gas and the number of molecules in the gas are kept constant in Boyle's law.
