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.

he combustion of propane (C3H8) is given by the balanced chemical equation C_3H_8+5O_2\longrightarrow3CO_2+4H_2O C 3 H 8 + 5 O 2

Basile [38]

Answer:

290 grams

Explanation:

Let's begin by writing the balanced chemical equations:

$C_{3}H_{8} +5O_{2} --->3CO_{2} +4H_{2}O$

Then we calculate the number of moles in 97g of propane.

n(propane)= $\frac{mass}{molarmass} =\frac{97g}{44.1g/mol}=2.1995mol$

According to the balanced chemical equation, one mole of propane produces 3 moles of carbon dioxide. So the available number of moles of propane must be multiplied by three to work out the number of carbon dioxide produced.

n(carbon dioxide)= 2.1995mol*3 = 6.5985mol

mass(carbon dioxide) = moles * molar mass

= 6.5985 mol * 44.01 g/mol

= 290 grams

What is the hydrogen ion (H+) concentration of a solution of pH 8?

fgiga [73]

Answer:

10−8 M.

Explanation:

In this problem we are given pH and asked to solve for the hydrogen ion concentration. Using the equation, pH = − log [H+] , we can solve for [H+] as,

− pH = log [H+] ,

[H+] = 10−pH,

by exponentiating both sides with base 10 to "undo" the common logarithm. The hydrogen ion concentration of blood with pH 7.4 is,

[H+] = 10−7.4 ≈ 0.0000040 = 4.0 × In this problem we are given pH and asked to solve for the hydrogen ion concentration. Using the equation, pH = − log [H+] , we can solve for [H+] as,

[H+] = 10−pH,

by exponentiating both sides with base 10 to "undo" the common logarithm. The hydrogen ion concentration of blood with pH 7.4 is,

[H+] = 10−7.4 ≈ 0.0000040 = 4.0 × 10−8 M.

2-A gas sample is found to contain 39.10% carbon, 7.67% hydrogen, 26.11%

aleksandrvk [35]

The molecular formula :

C₆H₁₄O₃PF

<h3>Further explanation</h3>

Given

39.10% carbon, 7.67% hydrogen, 26.11% oxygen, 16.82% phosphorus, and 10.30% fluorine.

Required

The molecular formula

Solution

mol ratio :

C = 39.1 : 12 = 3.258

H = 7.67 : 1 = 7.67

O = 26.11 : 16 = 1.632

P = 16.82 : 31 = 0.543

F = 10.3 : 19 = 0.542

Divide by 0.542

C = 6

H : 14

O = 3

P = 1

F = 1

The empirical formula :

C₆H₁₄O₃PF

(The empirical formula)n = the molecular formula

(C₆H₁₄O₃PF)=184.1

(6.12+14.1+3.16+31+19)n=184.1

(184)n=184.1

n = 1
