Select the pair that consists of a base and its conjugate acid in that order. CO32−/CO22−
lana [24]

Answer: The pair that consists of a base and its conjugate acid in that order.NH_3/NH_4^+

Explanation:

According to the Bronsted-Lowry conjugate acid-base theory, an acid is defined as a substance which looses donates protons and thus forming conjugate base and a base is defined as a substance which accepts protons and thus forming conjugate acid.

H_3PO_4\rightarrow H_PO_4{2^-}+2H^+

H_2CO_3\rightarrow HCO_3^-+H^+

NH_3+H^+\rightarrow NH_4^+

HCO_3^-\rightarrow CO_3^{2-}+H^+

NH_3  is gaining a proton, thus it is considered as a brønsted-lowry base and after gaining a proton, it formsNH_4^+  which is a conjugate acid.

Identify from the following list of molecules and ions which behave as Lewis acids: CO2, NH3, BCl3, Fe3+. (A) CO2 and NH3 (B) NH
Anettt [7]

Answer : The correct option is, (D) CO₂, BCl₃, and Fe³⁺

Explanation :

According to the Lewis concept, an acid is defined as a substance that accepts electron pairs and base is defined as a substance which donates electron pairs.

(a) CO_2

It is a Lewis-acid because it can accepts electron pairs.

(b) NH_3

It is not a Lewis-acid because it can not accepts electron pairs but it is a base because it can donates and accept hydrogen ion.

(c) BCl_3

It is a Lewis-acid because it can accepts electron pairs because it has an incomplete octet and an empty 2p orbital.

(d) Fe^{3+}

It is a Lewis-acid because it can accepts electron pairs.

Hence, the ions which behave as Lewis acids are, CO₂, BCl₃, and Fe³⁺

nasty-shy [4]

Answer:

-3

General Formulas and Concepts:

<u>Chemistry - Atomic Structure</u>

  • Protons have a positive (+) charge
  • Neutrons have a neutral (0) charge
  • Electrons have a negative (-) charge

Explanation:

<u>Step 1: Define</u>

7 protons, 9 neutrons, 10 electrons.

+7, +0, -10

<u>Step 2: FInd charge</u>

7 + 0 - 10 = -3
