nikdorinn [45]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

a. H₂S(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ HS⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq)

b. NH₄⁺(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ NH₃(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq)

Explanation:

According to Bronsted-Lowry acid-base theory,

  • An acid is a substance that donates a H⁺.
  • A base is a substance that accepts a H⁺.

a. When dissolved in water, H₂S behaves as an acid according to the following equation.

H₂S(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ HS⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq)

b. When dissolved in water, NH₄⁺ behaves as an acid according to the following equation.

NH₄⁺(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ NH₃(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq)

A sample of three mixed gases is at 632.0 mmhg. if the partial pressure of co2 is 124.3 mmhg and the partial pressure of n2 is 4
goldfiish [28.3K]
According to Dalton's Law of Partial pressures, the sum of the partial pressures of the individuals gas molecules that occupy a specific volume allows us to find the total pressure or find one of the partial pressures if the total pressure is known.

Partial pressure O2 = 632 - 124.3 - 461.9 = 45.8 mm Hg.

What effect does heat have on a chemical reaction?
Advocard [28]

Answer:

Particles can only react when they collide. If you heat a substance, the particles move faster and so collide more frequently. That will speed up the rate of reaction. ... The rate of reaction will probably have doubled for that increase in temperature - in other words, an increase of about 100%.

A compound's molecular formula must always be different than the compound's empirical formula. TRUE FALSE
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer: False

Explanation:

Molecular formula is the chemical formula which depicts the actual number of atoms of each element present in the compound.  

Empirical formula is the simplest chemical formula which depicts the whole number of atoms of each element present in the compound.

Example: CH_4 has similar molecular formula and empirical formula as the elements are already present in simplest of the ratios.

C_2H_2 has molecular formula of C_2H_2 but CH as the empirical formula.

What do you mean by fractional column?​
jekas [21]
A tall, horizontally subdivided or packed container for fractional distillation in which vapor passes upward and condensing liquid flows downward. The vapor becomes progressively enriched in more volatile components as it ascends, and the less volatile components become concentrated in the descending liquid, which can be drawn off.
