Answer:

C. H2O is the base and H3O+ is the conjugate acid

Explanation:

According to Bronsted-Lowry acid-base theory, an acid is a substance that loses an hydrogen ion or proton (H+) while a base is a substance that gains an hydrogen ion (H+) or proton. Furthermore, this theory states that, the molecule formed when an acid donates its proton is called the CONJUGATE BASE, while the molecule formed when the base accepts proton is called CONJUGATE ACID.

In this question, the following equation is given:

NH4+(aq) + H2O(aq) ⇌NH3(aq) + H3O+ (aq)

Water (H2O) is the base in this equation because according to Bronsted-Lowry acid-base theory, it accepts an hydrogen ion (H+) while hydroxonium ion (H3O+) is the conjugate acid.

NikAS [45]

Given:

257J of heat

5500g of mercury

increase by 5.5 degrees Celsius

Required:

Specific heat of mercury

Solution:

H = mCpT

257J = (5500g of mercury) Cp (5.5 degrees Celsius)

Cp = 8.5 x 10^-3 Joules per gram per degree Celsius

Consider a bent molecule, such as H2Se, in which the central atom has two lone pairs of electrons. The electronegativities of H
Shalnov [3]

Answer:

Based on these values and on consideration of molecular geometry, the H-Se bond can be considered almost _____non-polar___ and the molecule is __polar_____.

Explanation:

Looking at the difference in electro negativity of the two elements; hydrogen and selenium, one may be led to the conclusion that the molecule is nonpolar since the magnitude of electronegative between the two bonding atoms is minimal.

However, electro negativity difference alone is insufficient to determine the polarity of a molecule. The structure of the molecule is also considered. Based on the structure of the molecule, it is expected to have a dipole moment. Hence the molecule is polar.

Usimov [2.4K]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

C) The scientist made an identification

<h2>Explanation:</h2>

The fingerprint is a very certain method for identifying a person, because all human beings have got unique fingerprints. Forensic laboratories have database of all citizens in the area. Hence an identification is done by the results matched with the database information. The two main categories of fingerprint matching techniques are minutiae-based matching and pattern matching and both are them are present in the given database.
