Given the reaction: HSO4– + HPO42– ↔ SO42– + H2PO4-Which pair represents an acid and its conjugate base?

1 answer:

6 0

Hello!

The pair which represents an acid and its conjugate base is HSO₄⁻ and SO₄⁻².

To know if a pair of substances represents an acid and its conjugate base, one should look at the chemical structure of each substance. The conjugate base of an acid has usually the same chemical formula than the acid, but with one less proton (H⁺). Of the pairs of substances on the list, only HSO₄⁻ and SO₄⁻² have similar structures, with the only difference being the number of protons. The chemical reaction of dissociation of HSO₄⁻ is the following:

HSO₄⁻ + H₂O ⇄ SO₄⁻² + H₃O⁺

Which of these statements is not necessarily true for two objects in thermal equilibrium?

Dmitrij [34]

1. Answer: C. The objects' temperatures have both changed by the same amount.

Explanation:

An object is said to be in thermal equilibrium when the objects have attained same temperature. Heat transfer from hotter object to colder one in contact takes place until the temperature of the two are equal. It is not necessary that the temperature of both the objects changes by same amount. After attainment of thermal equilibrium, the temperature of the objects stop changing and the tiny particles of the object move at the same rate.

Hence, the objects' temperatures have both changed by the same amount. is not necessarily true for two objects in thermal equilibrium.

2. Answer: C. Objects are made of tiny particles, and their motion depends on the temperature.

Explanation:

Kinetic theory of heat states that the kinetic energy of constituent particles determine the temperature of the object. The statement that best explains this is Objects are made of tiny particles, and their motion depends on the temperature.

You have a 16.0-oz. (473-mL) glass of lemonade with a concentration of 2.66 M. The lemonade sits out on your counter for a coupl

salantis [7]

<u>Answer:</u> The new concentration of lemonade is 3.90 M

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}$ .....(1)

Molarity of lemonade solution = 2.66 M

Volume of solution = 473 mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$2.66M=\frac{\text{Moles of lemonade}\times 1000}{473}\\\\\text{Moles of lemonade}=\frac{2.66\times 473}{1000}=1.26mol$

Now, calculating the new concentration of lemonade by using equation 1:

Moles of lemonade = 1.26 moles

Volume of solution = (473 - 150) mL = 323 mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$\text{New concentration of lemonade}=\frac{1.26\times 1000}{323}\\\\\text{New concentration of lemonade}=3.90M$

Hence, the new concentration of lemonade is 3.90 M

The image shows a wheel that's wound up and released. The wheel moves up and down as shown. Identify the position of the wheel w

Lesechka [4]

Explanation:

Since the wheel moves up and down, the position that represents the potential energy is that which has the maximum height from the ground.

Potential energy is the energy at rest of a body.

It is given as:

Potential energy = m x g x h

m is the mass of the body

g is the acceleration due to gravity

h is the height of the body

We can see that mass and height are directly related to the potential energy a body exerts.

The higher the wheel from ground, the higher its potential energy.
