Hello!

The statement that a solution of sodium acetate (CH₃COONa) is weakly basic is true:

Sodium acetate is the conjugate base of Acetic Acid. When sodium acetate is dissolved in water, it follows the equation that is shown below:

CH₃COONa(s) → CH₃COO⁻(aq) + Na⁺(aq)

Now the Acetate (CH₃COO⁻) ion, has an equilibrium in water to produce hydroxyl (OH⁻) ions and (Acetic Acid CH₃COOH)

CH₃COO⁻ + H₂O ⇄ CH₃COOH + OH⁻

This is a weak equilibrium, and the hydroxyl ions cause the solution to be weakly basic.

Have a nice day!

Which pair must represent atoms of the same element?
andrew-mc [135]
Your answer is B and the element is Carbon

So what your looking for is matching isotopes. Isotopes are elements that are the same in amount of protons but different in mass meaning different number in neutrons. Because when you add the total protons and neutrons together you get your atomic mass. So this can be written as X=said element, top number above=different atomic mass, bottom number below=atomic number. Hope this help!!

Be careful because answer A has same masses but different atomic numbers so different atoms(elements)!!!

well an example, if the half-life of a 50.0 gram sample is 3 years, then in 3 years only 25 grams would remain. During the next 3 years, 12.5 grams would remain and so on.
