Conjugate base pairs are acid and bases having common features. These features are the equal gain or loss of protons of the pairs. Conjugate pairs should always be one base and one acid. One would not exist without the other. Conjugate acids are the substances that gains protons while conjugates bases are those that loses protons. <span>The substances in the equilibrium reaction that is given is identified as follows:
HCO3^- + H2O <-----> CO3^2- + H3O^+
acid base conjugate base conjugate acid
HCO3^- ion is an intermediate molecule of CO2 and CO3^2-. When we add OH- to HCO3^-, we produce CO3^2-. And when we add H+ to HCO3, we produce CO2. </span>
Answer : The final concentration of 
is, 2.9 M
Explanation :
Expression for rate law for first order kinetics is given by:
where,
k = rate constant = 
t = time passed by the sample = 3.5 min
a = initial concentration of the reactant = 3.0 M
a - x = concentration left after decay process = ?
Now put all the given values in above equation, we get
Thus, the final concentration of is, 2.9 M
If you have 58.93g of Co it means that you only have 1 mol (use a periodic table to find the answer, if you had more find it by proportion, it's easier).
There's 6.022 x 10^23 atoms per mol so you have 6.022 x 10^23 atoms of Co.
(once again if you had more mol, you could find the answer by proportions).
The elements in the periodice table are not listed in alphabetical order, because the arragement in rows (periods) and columns (groups or familes), in increasing order of atomic number (number of protons of the atoms) permits to explain similarities among the elements, trend in some properties, and even predict properties of unknown elements.
For example, the elements of the first group (family), called alkaline metals, all have 1 valence electron, have similar physical properties (ductibility, malleability, luster, thermal and electricity conductivity), react in similar way with water, show a trend in the atomic radii and in the ionization energy.
You can tell similar stories for other groups like, alkalyne earth metals, halogens and noble gases.
You can also tell trends in electroneativities, and atomic radii, for a row of elements, as per the order they are in the row.
So, the current array resulted very helpul for chemists to explain and predict the behavior and properties of the elements.
