Answer:

A. an acid

B. a base

C. conjugate base

D. conjugate acid

Explanation:

This question appears incomplete because it is starting with a "or".

However, the available question can still be answered.

An acid (according to "Bronsted-Lowry") is a chemical compound/specie that can donate hydrogen ion(s) in a reaction while a base is the compound/specie that can receive hydrogen ion(s). From this definition, <u>it can be deduced that</u> CH₃COOH <u>(ethanoic acid) is an acid (weak acid) because it can donate an hydrogen ion while</u> CH₃COO⁻ <u>is a base because it can receive a hydrogen ion</u>.

Also, a conjugate acid is the compound formed when an acid has donated a hydrogen ion to a base (i.e it is a base with hydrogen ion attached to it) while a conjugate base is the acid that has lost it's hydrogen ion. Thus, <u>the conjugate acid in the question is</u> CH₃OH <u>while the conjugate base in the question is</u> CH₃O⁻.

A. an acid

B. a base

C. conjugate base

D. conjugate acid

1) boiling points increase as molecular weight increase and vice versa. This is due to the increase in van der waals forces between molecules.
2) branching decreases the melting and boiling i.e increase in branching decrease boiling point and melting point. This is due to the fact that there are less point of contact between neighbouring molecules, so molecules are farther apart from each other, which means weaker van der waals(London forces) less energy is required to overcome these force of attraction.
3) In homolytic fission each of the fragment retain one of the bonded electron and radicals are made if the molecule is neutral. In heterolytic fission one fragment gets both bonding electron.
The energy for the heterolytic fission is higher because energy is not only needed to break the covalent bond but also to overcome the force of attraction between oppositely charged ions formed.
