Answer:

(a) Pair 1: H₂S and HS⁻

Pair 2: NH₃ and NH₄⁺

(b) Pair 1: HSO₄⁻ and SO₄⁻

Pair 2: NH₃ and NH₄⁺

Pair 2: CH₃O⁻ and CH₃OH

(d) Pair 1: HNO₃ and NO₃⁻

Pair 2: H₃O⁺

Explanation:

When an acid loses its proton (H⁺), a conjugate base is produced.

When a base accepts a proton (H⁺), it forms a conjugate acid.

(a) H₂S is an acid. When it loses a proton, it forms the conjugate base HS⁻.

NH₃ is a base. When NH₃ gains a proton, it forms the conjugate acid NH₄⁺

(b) The acid HSO₄⁻ loses a H⁺ ion and forms the conjugate base SO₄²⁻.

The base NH₃ accepts a H⁺ ion to form the conjugate acid NH₄⁺.

CH₃O⁻ accepts a H⁺ ion to form the conjugate acid CH₃OH.

(d) HNO₃ loses a proton to form the conjugate base NO₃⁻.

H₂O gains a proton to form the conjugate acid H₃O⁺.

Use the periodic table to write the electron configuration for rubidium (Rb) in noble has notation

Alexxx [7]

Answer:

Rb: [Kr] 5s

Step-by-step explanation:

Rb is element 37, the first element in Period 5.

It has one valence electron, so its valence electron configuration is 5s.

The noble gas configuration uses the symbol of the previous noble gas as a shortcut for the electron configurations of the inner electrons.

The preceding noble gas is Kr, so the electron configuration is Rb: [Kr] 5s.

When 3.00 g of sulfur are combined with 3.00 g of oxygen, 6.00 g of sulfur dioxide (SO2) are formed. What mass of oxygen would b

bazaltina [42]

Actually, we can answer the problem even without the first statement. All we have to do is write the reaction for the production of sulfur trioxide.

2 S + 3 O₂ → 2 SO₃

The stoichiometric calculations is as follows:

6 g S * 1 mol/32.06 g S = 0.187 mol S
Moles O₂ needed = 0.187 mol S * 3 mol O₂/2 mol S = 0.2805 mol O₂
Since the molar mas of O₂ is 32 g/mol,
Mass of O₂ needed = 0.2805 mol O₂ * 32 g/mol = 8.976 g O₂
