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⁺.

Two samples of sodium chloride with different masses were decomposed into their constituent elements. One sample produced 1.731.

Amanda [17]

Answer:

The answer to your question is letter c) 6.09 g of sodium and 9.38 g of chlorine.

Explanation:

This problem is solve using rule of three

We know that the proportion Sodium to Chloride is 1 to 1 in sodium chloride, so we have to look for this proportion in the options

AM Sodium = 23 g

AM Chlorine = 35.5 g

Sodium Chlorine

23 g ---------------- 1 mol 35.5 g -------------- 1 mol

1713.73g ------------- x 2666.6 g ------------- x

x = 1713.73/23 = 74.51 x = 2666.6/35.5 = 75.12

These values are very similar, we have to look for the proportion in the options

a) 6.09g of sodium = 0.26 mol

4,87 g of chlorine = 0.14 mol These numbers are not very similar

b) We have 0.26 mol of Na

0.037 mol of Cl This is not the answer

c) We have 0.26 mol of Na

0.26 mol of Cl These numbers are the same, the proportion is 1:1, this is the answer

d) We have 0.26 mol of Na

0.36 mol of Cl This is not the answer

Balance this redox reaction occurring in acidic media:

Lelu [443]

Add 7 water atom to the right hand side to adjust the quantity of oxygen. Increase Cr(+3) by two to adjust the quantity of Cr. Duplicate Cl-by two to adjust the quantity of chlorine molecules.
Cr2O7[2-](aq) +2 Cl[-](aq) < - >2 Cr[3+] (aq) + Cl2(g)+7H2O
Presently adjust that charges.
you have - 4 charges on the left hand side, while +18 charges on the right hand side, there for include 14H+ the left hand side to adjust the charges
Cr2O7[2-](aq) +2 Cl[-](aq)+14H+ < - >2 Cr[3+] (aq) + Cl2(g)+7H2O
take note of that the oxidation number of hydrogen in water is +1

An unknown amount of acid can often be determined by adding an excess of base and then back-titrating the excess. A 0.3471−g sam

MAXImum [283]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

Mass of mixture = 0.3471 g

As the mixture contains oxalic acid and benzoic acid. So, oxalic acid will have two protons and benzoic acid has one proton.

This means oxalic acid will react with 2 moles of NaOH and benzoic acid will react with 1 mole of NaOH.

Hence, moles of NaOH in 97 ml = $\frac{0.1090 \times 97}{1000}$
