Answer:

CaBr₂, CaO, FeBr₂, FeO

Explanation:

Per binary compound, there must be 1 cation (Ca²⁺, Fe²⁺) and 1 anion (Br⁻, O²⁻). The compound should have a charge of 0 (neutral). For this to occur, there sometimes needs to be more than one cation/anion present in the compound. Below I have included the math that displays why there are more ions necessary in some compounds.

CaBr₂

-----> Ca = +2 and Br = -1

-----> +2 + (-1) + (-1) = 0

CaO

-----> Ca = +2 and O = -2

-----> +2 + (-2) = 0

FeBr₂

-----> Fe = +2 and Br = -1

-----> +2 + (-1) + (-1) = 0

FeO

-----> Fe = +2 and O = -2

-----> +2 + (-2) = 0

An ideal gas is in a sealed rigid container. The average kinetic energy of the gas molecules depends most on An ideal gas is in

sergejj [24]

Answer:

The temperature of the gas.

Explanation:

According to the kinetic molecular theory, the molecules of a substance are in constant random motion.

If an ideal gas is contained is a sealed rigid container, the average velocity of the gas molecules is dependent of the temperature of the gas.

Recall that temperature is defined as the average kinetic energy of the molecules of a body.

You are instructed to create 900. mL of a 0.29 M phosphate buffer with a pH of 7.8. You have phosphoric acid and the sodium salt

Aleksandr [31]

Answer:

B and C

Explanation:

When we have to do a buffer solution we always have to choose the reaction that has the pKa closer to the desired pH value. When we find the pKa values we will obtain:

$pKa_1=-Log[6.9x10^-^3]=2.16$

$pKa_2=-Log[6.2x10^-^8]=7.20$

$pKa_3=-Log[4.8x10^-^13]=12.31$

The closer value is pKa2 with a value of 7.2. Therefore we have to use the second reaction. In which $H_2PO_4^-^1$ is the acid and $HPO_4^-^2$ is the base. Therefore the answer for the first question is B and the answer for the second question is C.
