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)

____ 26. what is the weight percentage of nitrogen in urea, cn2h4o
Paraphin [41]
Weight percentage of nitrogen can be calculated using the following rule:
weight percentage of nitrogen = (weight of nitrogen / weight of urea) x 100

From the periodic table:
molecular mass of carbon = 12 grams
molecular mass of nitrogen = 14 grams
molecular mass of hydrogen = 1 grams
molecular mass of oxygen = 16 grams

therefore:
mass of nitrogen in urea = 2(14) = 28 grams
mass of urea = 12 + 2(14) + 4(1) + 16 = 60 grams

Substitute with the masses in the equation to get the percentage:
weight percentage of nitrogen = (28/60) x 100 = 46.667%
