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⁺.

If two separate containers A and B have the same volume and temperature, but container A has more gaseous molecules than B, then

topjm [15]

Answer:

Higher pressure, is the right answer.

Explanation:

The A will have a higher pressure. Since we have given the volume and temperature is same in both containers A and B. Below is the calculation for proof that shows which container has the higher pressure while keeping the volume and temperature the same.

$So, \ V_A = V_B \\\frac{n_A T_A}{P_A} = \frac{n_B T_B}{P_B} \\Here, \ T_A = T_B \\P_A = \frac{n_A}{n_B} \times P_B \\\frac{n_A}{n_B} > 1 \\\frac{P_A}{P_B} > 1 \\P_A > P_B \\$

Therefore, the container “A” will have higher pressure.

Do the number of protons in an atom of an element always equals its atomic weight.

Elenna [48]

No. The number of a protons is not equal to it's atomic weight, instead it is equal to the 'atomic number'

a person measures the mass of an 8 cm3 block of brown sugar to be 12.9 g. What is the density of the brown sugar.

Maksim231197 [3]

From the information we have, this block of brown sugar has a volume of 8cm3

The mass of the block is 12. 9 grams.

We need to find out the density of the sugar.

For a solid material the formula for calculating density is given as:

Density = mass / volume

Therefore we simply fit in the above given values into this formula, so:

Density = 12.9 / 8

Density = 1.61

Therefore the density of the block of sugar is 1.61g/ml
