Answer:

d. the conjugate base of the weak acid

Explanation:

The strong base (BOH) is completely dissociated in water:

BOH → B⁺ + OH⁻

The resulting conjugate acid (OH⁻) is a weak acid, so it remains in solution as OH⁻ ions.

By other hand, the weak acid (HA) is only slightly dissociated in water:

HA ⇄ H⁺ + A⁻

The resulting conjugate base (A⁻) is a weak base. Thus, it reacts with H⁺ ions from water to form HA, increasing the concentration of OH⁻ ions in the solution.

Therefore, the resulting solution will have a pH > 7 (basic).

Use the reaction given below to solve the problem that follows: Calculate the mass in grams of aluminum oxide produced by the re
bearhunter [10]

Answer:  28.4 g of aluminum oxide is produced by the reaction of 15.0 g of aluminum metal

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}   

\text{Moles of} Al=\frac{15.0g}{27g/mol}=0.556moles

The balanced chemical equuation is:

4Al+3O_2\rightarrow 2Al_2O_3  

According to stoichiometry :

4 moles of Al produce == 2 moles of Al_2O_3

Thus 0.556 moles of Al will produce=\frac{2}{4}\times 0.556=0.278moles  of Al_2O_3

Mass of Al_2O_3=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.278moles\times 102g/mol=28.4g

Thus 28.4 g of aluminum oxide is produced by the reaction of 15.0 g of aluminum metal.

The activation energy for a reaction is changed from 184 kJ/mol to 60.5 kJ/mol at 600. K by the introduction of a catalyst. If t
Ahat [919]

Answer:

The catalyzed reaction will take 1,41 s

Explanation:

The rate constant for a reaction is:

k = A e^{-\frac{Ea}{RT}}

Assuming frequency factor is the same for both reactions (with and without catalyst) it is possible to obtain:

{\frac{k1}{k2}} = e^{-\frac{Ea_{2}-Ea_{1}}{RT}}

Replacing:

{\frac{k1}{k2}} = e^{-\frac{60,5kJ/mol-184kJ/mol}{8,314472x10^{-3}kJ/molK*600k}}

{\frac{k1}{k2}} = 5,64x10^{10}

That means the reaction occurs 5,64x10¹⁰ faster than the uncatalyzed reaction, that is 2537 years / 5,64x10¹⁰ = 4,50x10⁻⁸ years. In seconds:

4,50x10⁻⁸ years×\frac{365days}{1year}×\frac{24hours}{1day}×\frac{3600s}{1hour} =<em> 1,41 s</em>

I hope it helps!

A runner runs for a distance of 350 yards and then runs for an additional 200 m. What is the total difference covered by the run
Rudiy27
Answer: 520.04 meters.

If you convert 350 yards to meters, you get 320.04.

320.04m + 200m = 520.04m.

Take off the .04 if necessary:)
