Bronsted - Lowry acid in the given reaction is NH₄, as it gives H⁺ ion.

<h3>What is Bronsted - Lowry acid?</h3>

According to the theory of Bronsted - Lowry, acids are those substances which gives H⁺ ion or proton in the aqueous medium.

Given chemical reaction is :

NH₄ + HPO₄²⁻ → NH₃ + H₂PO₄⁻

In the above reaction NH₄ is the Bronsted - Lowry acid as it gives H⁺ ion in the reaction and changes to NH₃ which is the conjugate base of NH₄. Whereas HPO₄²⁻ is the Bronsted - Lowry base as it accepts the H⁺ ion to form H₂PO₄⁻ which is the conjugate acid of it.

Hence, option (1) is correct, i.e. NH₄ is the Bronsted - Lowry acid.

How many grams hydrogen in 4.5 mol H2SO4

H2SO4 ---> 2H^+ + SO4^2-

Hence n H+ = 9 mols

Mass of H = nM = (9*1) = 9g

Alternately

mass of H2SO4= nM= 4.5*98= 441

Mass of H= mass h2so4 * molar mass of H/molar mass of h2so4
Mass of H= 441 * 2/98 = 9g

What is the de Broglie wavelength (in meters) of a 45-g golf ball traveling at 72 m/s?

Cerrena [4.2K]

Answer: The de broglie wavelength is $2.037 \times 10^{-34} m$ .

Explanation:

Calculate $\lambda = \frac{h}{p}$ as follows.

$\lambda = \frac{h}{p}$

where,

h = plank's constant = $6.6 \times 10^{-34} m^{2} kg/s$

p = momentum = $mass \times velocity$

Putting the values in the formula as follows.

$\lambda = \frac{h}{mass \times velocity}$

= $\frac {6.6 \times 10^{-34} m^{2} kg/s}{0.045 kg \times 72 m/s}$

= $2.037 \times 10^{-34} m$

Thus, the de broglie wavelength is $2.037 \times 10^{-34} m$ .

Lab 27. stoichiometry and chemical reactions: which balanced chemical equation best represents the thermal decomposition of sodi

Cloud [144]

Answer:
Sodium Bicarbonate on decomposition produces Carbon dioxide gas and Water vapors.

 2 NaHCO₂ → Na₂CO₃ (s) + CO₂ (g) + H₂O (g)

Explanation:
Let suppose you burn 168 g ( 2 moles ) of NaHCO₃, a gas will produced and product is left behind. On measuring the product formed it will be almost equal to 105 g. This shows that the product is Na₂CO₃ and 1 mole of it is being produced after decomposition of sodium bicarbonate.
