If hydrofluoric acid is a stronger acid than acetic acid, which statement is most likely true?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alchen [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer: The statement conjugate base of hydrofluoric acid is weaker than that of acetic acid is most likely true.

Explanation:

A strong acid upon dissociation gives a weak conjugate base. This can also be said as stronger is the acid, weaker will be its conjugate base or vice-versa.

Hydrofluoric acid is a strong base as it dissociates completely when dissolved in water.

For example, HF \rightleftharpoons H^{+} + F^{-}

The conjugate base is F^{-} which is a weak base.

Acetic acid is a weak acid as it dissociates partially when dissolved in water. So, the conjugate base of acetic acid is a strong base.

CH_{3}COOH \rightarrow CH_{3}COO^{-} + H^{+}

Thus, we can conclude that the statement conjugate base of hydrofluoric acid is weaker than that of acetic acid is most likely true.

If 5.58 g of iron reacts with sulfur to produce 8.79 g of iron sulfide, what is the mass of reacting sulfur? A) 3215 B) 14:37 C)
gogolik [260]

Answer: A) 3.21 g

Explanation:

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side.

Fe+S\rightarrow FeS

We are given:

Mass of iron = 5.58 g

Mass of iron sulphide = 8.79 g

Mass of sulphur = x g

Total mass on reactant side = 5.58 + x

Total mass on product side = 8.79 g

Applying law of conservation of mass, we get:

5.58+x=8.79\\\\x=3.21g

Hence, the mass of reacting sulfur is 3.21 g.

A team of engineers is doing a cost-benefit analysis to determine whether
beks73 [17]

Answer:

1) The risk of high cost due to increased resource requirements

2) The risk of late entry into the (a changed) market

Explanation:

The analysis being performed by the engineers = A cost benefit analysis to determine if a new technology should be developed

A cost-benefit analysis is a process of appraising or measuring the advantages, benefits of a policy, action or decision, so as to find the (equilibrium) balance point between the costs of the decision or action

The risk to be considered are;

1) The risk of high cost due to increased resource requirements

The increased cost required for the development of the new technology now which due to the unlikely existence of a similar invention in the market that will give them an advantage of increased profits

2) The risk of late entry into the (a changed) market

The changes in the consumer preferences, market landscape, and the likely introduction into the market of a similar invention by the competition in the near future which will reduce the amount of profits that can be gained from the invention

How many grams of sucrose (c12h22o11) are in 1.55 l of 0.758 m sucrose solution? express your answer in grams to three significa
satela [25.4K]
The molecular formula of sucrose is - C₁₂H₂₂O₁₁
molecular mass of sucrose - 342 g/mol
molarity of sucrose solution is 0.758 M
In 1 L solution the number of sucrose moles are - 0.758 mol
Therefore in 1.55 L solution, sucrose moles are - 0.758 mol/L x 1.55 L
                                                                           = 1.17 mol
The mass of 1.17 mol of sucrose is - 1.17 mol x 342 g/mol = 4.00 x 10² g
