Answer:
The halogens form acidic compounds with hydrogen. The halogens are the most reactive among all the nonmetals
Answer:
single replacement
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
single replacement = A reaction in which one element replaces a similar element in a compound. For example, a metal replaces an other metal.
The general form of a single-replacement (also called single-displacement) reaction is:
A+BC→AC+B
Decomposition = a reaction in which a compound breaks down into two or more simpler substances. The general form of a decomposition reaction is:
AB→A+B
Synthesis = A reaction that occurs when one or more compounds combines to form a complex compound:
A + B → AB
Double replacement: a reaction in which the positive and negative ions of two ionic compounds exchange places to form two new compounds.
The general form of a double-replacement reaction is:
AB+CD→AD+BC
Combustion reaction = a reaction in which a substance reacts with oxygen gas, releasing energy in the form of light and heat. Combustion reactions must involve O2 as one reactant.
The reaction Zn + 2HCl → ZnCl2 + H2
⇒ Does not involve O2 = NOT a combustion reaction
⇒ The compounds do not form a complex compound = NOT a synthesis
⇒ A compound does not break down into smaller substances = NOT a decomposition
⇒ There is a replacement between Zn and H. This is a <u>single replacement</u>, not a double replacement reaction.
The acid dissociation constant of benzoic acid is 6.5 x 10^-5. Therefore, the pH of the benzoic acid solution prior to adding sodium benzoate is:
pH = -log[Ka]
pH = -log (6.5 x 10^-5)
pH = 4.19
The pH of the benzoic acid solution is 4.19 which is acidic, but a weak acid.
I cant help unless there is an article..
