Valentin [98]3 years ago

6 0

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⁺.

fish give off the compound ammonia which has a pH above 7 to which class of compounds does ammonia belong

jasenka [17]

Answer:
The compound ammonia given by fish is alkaline

Explanation:
We can classify elements/compounds based on their pH values into three types:
acids: these are compounds having pH value lower than 7
neutral: these are compounds having pH value equal to 7
alkalies: these are compounds having pH values higher than 7

This is shown in the attached image

We are given that the pH of the compound ammonia generated by the fish is above 7.
According to the above explanation, compound ammonia would be an alkaline compound.

Hope this helps :)

Calculate the volume of a gas at a pressure of 150 kpa if its volume at 180 kpa is 1500 L

Anastaziya [24]

Answer: 1800 L

Explanation:

Given that,

Original pressure of gas (P1) = 180 kPa

Original volume of gas (V1) = 1500 L

New pressure of gas (P2) = 150 kPa

New volume of gas (V2) = ?

Since pressure and volume are given while temperature is held constant, apply the formula for Boyle's law

P1V1 = P1V2

180 kPa x 1500 L = 150 kPa x V2

270000 kPa•L = 150 kPa•V2

Divide both sides by 150 kPa

270000 kPa•L/150 kPa = 150 kPa•V2/150 kPa

1800L = V2

Thus, the new volume of the gas is 1800 liters.

Gas hydrates are compact chemical structures made of natural gas and

Oksana_A [137]

Answer:

Option-B (water) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Gas hydrates are made up of Solid-Ice water and a natural gas like Methane gas trapped in the lattice of ice water. Gas hydrates are mainly found deep down in the sea where the atmospheric pressure is greater than 1 atm.

Generally Gas hydrates have two main applications.

a) It stabilizes the sea floor other wise its melting will cause land sliding in sea floor.

b) Secondly, it traps a green house gases like Methane, if released these gases could produce Climate changes.
