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.

Answer:

A.) 34.866 x 10¯23 g/atom

B.) 2.64 x 10^22 atoms in 1 cm3

C.) 1 atoms per unit cell

Explanation:

A) Calculate the average mass of one atom of polonium:

210g mol¯1 ÷ 6.022 x 1023 atoms mol¯1 = 34.866 x 10¯23 g/atom

B) Determine atoms in 1 cm3:

9.19g / 34.866x 10¯23 g/atom = 2.64 x 10^22 atoms in 1 cm3

Determine volume of the unit cell:

(3.37 x 10¯8 cm)3 = 3.827 x 10¯23 cm3

Determine number of unit cells in 1 cm3:

1 cm3 / 3.827 x 10¯23 cm3 = 2.61 x 1022 unit cells

C) Determine atoms per unit cell:

2.64 x 1022 atoms / 2.61 x 1022 unit cells = 1 atoms per unit cell

Both natural products and synthetic products come from natural resources. Explain why this statement is true.
xz_007 [3.2K]

Explanation:

All resources used in making all products can be traced to their natural origin. What differentiates a natural product from a synthetic one is the level of processing that goes into making synthetic products.

  • For example, a synthetic product such as plastic is actually derived from natural product.
  • Instead of using the sap of rubber plants for making this product, scientists engineered a way to produce plastics from petroleum products which are derived from crude oil.
  • Most synthetic products are merely products of alternate source of manufacturing which are well engineered.

netineya [11]

Answer:

4.33 L

Explanation:

Assuming ideal behaviour and that all 0.300 moles of gas reacted, we can solve this problem using Avogadro's law, which states that at constant temperature and pressure:

  • V₁n₂ = V₂n₁

Where in this case:

  • V₁ = 2.16 L
  • n₂ = 0.601 mol
  • V₂ = ?
  • n₁ = 0.300 mol

We <u>input the given data</u>:

  • 2.16 L * 0.601 mol = V₂ * 0.300 mol

And <u>solve for V₂</u>:

  • V₂ = 4.33 L

Why do we observe national day​
WITCHER [35]

A national day is a day on which celebrations mark the nationhood of a nation or state. It may be the date of independence, of becoming a republic, or a significant date for a patron saint or a ruler (such as a birthday, accession, or removal). The national day is often a public holiday.

What are valence electrons and why are they so important in chemistry?
stealth61 [152]

valance electrons that reside in the outermost shell of an atom in the highest energy level. They are important to atoms because the fewer valence electrons that the atom holds, it becomes less stable.

I take honors chemistry I hope this helps.
