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⁺.

18. Suggest an explanation for the observations that ethanol, C2H5OH, is completely miscible with water and that ethanethiol, C2

nydimaria [60]

Answer:

Ethanol is completely miscible due to presence of Hydrogen bonding.

Ethanethiol is partially miscible due to absence of Hydrogen Bonding.

Explanation:

The miscibility of liquids depend upon the intermolecular interactions between the two liquids. The stronger the intermolecular interactions the more miscible will be the liquids.

Among the two given examples, Ethanol is more miscible in water because it exhibits hydrogen bonding which is considered the strongest intermolecular interaction. Hydrogen bonding occurs when the hydrogen atom is bonded to more electronegative atoms like Fluorine, Oxygen and Nitrogen. In this way the hydrogen atom gets partial positive charge and the electronegative atom gets partial negative charge. Hence, these partial charges results in attracting the opposite charges on other surrounding atoms.

While, in case of Ethanethiol the hydrogen atom is not bonded to any high electronegative atom hence, there will be no hydrogen bonding and therefore, there will be less interactions between the neighbour atoms.

An unknown gas is found to diffuse through a porous membrane 4.11 times more slowly than h2 what is the molecular weight of the

kirill [66]

To answer this question, you need to know Graham's Law of Effusion/Diffusion formula. In this formula, the rate of diffusion/effusion would be influenced by the mass. As the molecule has bigger mass, the rate should be slower because it will be harder to pass the membrane. The calculation should be:
Rate 1 / Rate 2 = √[M2/M1]
4.11/1= √[M2/2]
M2=33.78 g/mol

A compound is 75.46% Carbon, 4.43% hydrogen and 20.10% Oxygen by mass. it has a molecular weight of 318.31g/mol. what is the mol

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

No.of moles of C is , n = mass/molar mass = 75.46 g / 12 (g/mol) = 6.3 moles No.of moles of H is , n' = mass/molar mass = 4.43 g / 1.0(g/mol) = 4.43 moles No.of moles of O is , n'' = mass/molar mass = 20.10 g / 16(g/mol) =1.25 moles Ratio to the no.of moles of C,H& O is 6.3 : 4.43 : 1.25 In the simple integer ratio is ( 6.3/1.25) : ( 4.43/1.25) : (1.25/1.25) 5.04 :3.5 : 1
