Answer : The option (d) is not a conjugate acid-base pair.

Explanation :

According to the Bronsted Lowry concept, Bronsted Lowry-acid is a substance that donates one or more hydrogen ion in a reaction and Bronsted Lowry-base is a substance that accepts one or more hydrogen ion in a reaction.

Or we can say that, conjugate acid is proton donor and conjugate base is proton acceptor.

(a) The equilibrium reaction will be,

$NH_4^++OH^-\rightleftharpoons NH_3+H_2O$

In this reaction, $NH_4^+/NH_3$ are act as a conjugate acid-base.

(b) The equilibrium reaction will be,

$H_3O^++OH^-\rightleftharpoons H_2O+H_2O$

In this reaction, $H_3O^+/OH^-$ are act as a conjugate acid-base.

(c) The equilibrium reaction will be,

$H_2SO_3+OH^-\rightleftharpoons HSO_3^-+H_2O$

In this reaction, $H_2SO_3/HSO_3^-$ are act as a conjugate acid-base.

(d) The equilibrium reaction will be,

$C_2H_3O_2^-+H_2O\rightleftharpoons HC_2H_3O_2+OH^-$

In this reaction, $C_2H_3O_2^-/HC_2H_3O_2$ are act as a conjugate base-acid.

Hence, from this we conclude that, the option (d) is not a conjugate acid-base pair but it is a act as conjugate base-acid.

There are two steps in the usual industrial preparation of acrylic acid, the immediate precursor of several useful plastics. In

adell [148]

Answer:

The net change in enthalpy for the formation of one mole of acrylic acid from calcium carbide, water and carbon dioxide is 523.2 kJ.

Explanation:

Step 1:

$CaC_2(s) + 2H_2O(g)\rightarrow C_2H_2(g) + Ca(OH)_2(s),\Delta H_1=414.0 kJ$ ...[1]

Step 2 :

$6C_2H_2(g) + 3CO_2(g) + 4H_2O(g)\rightarrow 5CH_2CHCO_2H(g) \Delta H_2=132.0kJ$ ..[2]

Adding 6 × [1] and [2]:

$6CaC_2(s) + 12H_2O(g)\rightarrow 6C_2H_2(g) + 6Ca(OH)_2(s)$

$6C_2H_2(g)+3CO_2(g)+16H_2O(g)\rightarrow 5CH_2CHCO_2H(g)$

we get :

$6CaC_2(s) + 8H_2O(g)+3CO_2(g)\rightarrow 5CH_2CHCO_2H(g)+ 6Ca(OH)_2(s),\Delta H'=?$

$\Delta H'=6\times \Delta H_1+\Delta H_2$

$\Delta H'=6\times 414.0 kJ+132.0kJ$

$\Delta H'=2,626 kJ$

Energy released on formation of 5 moles of acrylic acid = 2,626 kJ

Energy released on formation of 1 mole of acrylic acid:

$\frac{ 2,626 kJ}{5 } = 523.2 kJ$

How is genetic information is the same as a plum tree.

shutvik [7]

Answer:

This work was done in the European plum (Prunus domestica). The gene for PPV coat protein was separated from the PPV virus and inserted into the plum DNA, which was then regenerated and grown into complete plum trees. These trees now had the additional gene in their DNA and became resistant to PPV.

How does temperature change during a chemical reaction

snow_tiger [21]

A change in temperature is a sign that a chemical reaction has occurred. This occurs in an endothermic reaction. An endothermic process is any process which requires or absorbs energy from its surroundings, usually in the form of heat. It may be a chemical process, such as dissolving ammonium nitrate in water, or simply the melting of ice cubes.

Hopefully im not too late :/
