The hydrogen chloride is a gas at room temperature due to the presence of weak intermolecular forces.

<h3>What is hydrogen chloride?</h3>

Hydrogen chloride (HCl) is a chemical compound in which polar covalent bond is present between hydrogen atom and chlorine atom.

This bond is not so strong enough to maintain the stability in the liquid phase, else they are weak intermolecular forces and easily gets break through small amount of energy and having low boiling point. That's why HCl is present in gaseous state at room temperature.

Hence due to weak intermolecular force, HCl is present in gaseous state.

Answer the following questions based on the reaction below: NaOH(aq) + KHP(s) --> NaKP(aq)+H2O(I)

Natali [406]

Answer:

a) 1.44g

b) 77.3%

Explanation:

1. Chemical balanced equation (given)

$NaOH(aq)+ KHP(s)\rightarrow NaKP(aq)+H_2O(l)$

2. Mole ratio

$1molNaOH(aq):1molKHP(s)$

This is, 1 mol of NaOH will reacts with 1 mol of KHP.

3. Find the number of moles in 72.14 mL of the base

$Molarity=\text{number of moles of solute}/\text{volume of solution in liters}$

$\text{Volume of solution}=72.14mL=0.07214liters$

$\text{Number of moles of NaOH}=0.0978M\times 0.07214liter=0.007055mol$

4. Find the number of grams of KHP that reacted

The number of moles of KHP that reacted is equal to the number of moles of NaOH, 0.007055 mol

Convert moles to grams:

mass = number moles × molar mass = 0.007055mol × 204.23g/mol

mass = 1.4408 g.

You have to round to 3 significant figures: 1.44 g (because the molarity is given with 3 significant figures).

5. Find the percentage of KHP in the sample

The percentage is how much of the substance is in 100 parts of the sample.

The formula is:

% = (mass of substance / mass of sample) × 100

% = (1.4408g/ 1.864g) × 100 = 77.3%

What is the concentration of a solution containing 1.11 g sugar (sucrose, C12H22O11, MW = 342.3 g/mol, d = 1.587 g/cm3) in 432 m

djyliett [7]

Answer:

0.0075 M

0.0060 m

Explanation:

Our strategy here is to use the definition of molarity and molality to solve this question.

The molarity is the number of moles of solute, sucrose in this case, per liter of solution.

The molality is the number of moles of solute per kilogram of solvent.

So the molarity of the solution is

M = moles of solute/ V solution

As we see we need the volume of solution since we are only given the volume of solvent, but this will be easy to compute since we have the density of sucrose.

So determine the moles of sucrose , and the volume of solution:

Moles sucrose = 1.11 g/342.3 g/mol = 3.24 x 10⁻³ M

Volume of solution = Vol Sucrose + Vol glycerine

d = m/V ⇒ Vsucrose = m / d = 1.11 g/ 1.587 g/cm³ = 0.70 cm³

Vol solution = 432 mL + 0.70 mL = 432.7 mL (1cm³ = 1 mL)

Vol solution = 432.7 mL x 1 L / 1000 mL = 0.4327 L

⇒ M = 3.2 x 10⁻³ mol / 0.4327 L = 0.0075 M

For the molarity what we need is to first calculate the kilograms of glycerine from the given density:

d = m/v ⇒ m = d x v = 1.261 g/cm³ x 432 cm³ = 544.75 g

Converting to Kg:

544.75 g x 1 Kg/ 1000 g = 0.544 kg

Now the molality is

m = mol sucrose/ kg solvent = 3.24 x 10⁻³ mol / 0.544 Kg = 0.0060 m

Note: In the calculation for volume of solution we could have approximated it to that of just glycerine, but since the density of sucrose was given we calculated the total volume of solution to be more rigorous.

What kind of bond is formed between hydrogen and chlorine atoms?

SVETLANKA909090 [29]

Answer:

The answer to your question is Covalent

Explanation:

Both, Hydrogen and Chlorine are non metals, when two nonmetals attach the share electrons and the type of bonding formed is polar covalent because they have different sizes, hydrogen is smaller than chlorine.

Differentiate between a single atom of gold and a single atom of lead. (No Multiple Choice)

tatyana61 [14]

Lead has a different chemistry than most biological metals, but it can mimic some of them, such as calcium, iron, and zinc, because it tends to form 2+ ion like other metals, and these can be formed inside the body. Due to it different chemistry, lead prevents normal functioning of the enzymes it binds to, inhibiting them and poisoning the body.

Gold rarely forms ions, unless under extreme conditions that are not present in the human body. Gold ions, when ingested, are actually very toxic, so gold poisoning is possible. But because gold are so rare, gold poisoning is also a rare phenomenon.
