Li+ has a smaller ionic radius than K+

and smaller molecules have more collisions/interactions between each other

<h3>What is ion-solvent interaction ?</h3>

In the case of ion-solvent interactions, the state in which the interac-tions exist is an obvious one; it is the situation in which ions are inside the solvent.

Ions are charged particles, and charges interact with other charges. So there will also be ion-ion, as well as ion-solvent, interactions in the solution.

In the process of solvation, ions are surrounded by a concentric shell of solvent. Solvation is the process of reorganizing solvent and solute molecules into solvation complexes.

What is an open-loop system?

Naddika [18.5K]

A. A group of related objects that do not send out or receive feedback and cannot modify themselves

Explanation:

An open-loop system is a a group of related objects or systems that cannot send out or receive feedback and modify themselves.

It is a non-feedback system.
In this system, the output control system has no effect on whatever input that is fed into the system.
Output and input in such systems are independent of one another.
The input and output has no control whatever on each other.

Tell me why in Louisiana it always gotta freaking have a hurricane

Gala2k [10]

Why do so many storms target the state? The easterly winds typically blowing across Jacksonville in the summer flow out of the Azores/Bermuda high-pressure system which also steers many hurricanes into the Gulf. In June and October, storms are more likely to move up the Gulf from the south and southwest.

A buffer consists of 0.120 M HNO2 and 0.150 M NaNO2 at 25°C. pka of HNO2 is 3.40. a. What is the pH of the buffer? b. What is th

Mashcka [7]

Explanation:

It is known that $K_{a}$ of $HNO_{2}$ = $4.5 \times 10^{-4}$ .

(a) Relation between $K_{a}$ and $pK_{a}$ is as follows.

$pK_{a} = -log (K_{a})$

Putting the values into the above formula as follows.

$pK_{a} = -log (K_{a})$

= $-log(4.5 \times 10^{-4})$

= 3.347

Also, relation between pH and $pK_{a}$ is as follows.

pH = $pK_{a} + log\frac{[conjugate base]}{[acid]}$

= $3.347+ log \frac{0.15}{0.12}$

= 3.44

Therefore, pH of the buffer is 3.44.

(b) No. of moles of HCl added = $Molarity \times volume$

= $11.6 M \times 0.001 L$

= 0.0116 mol

In the given reaction, $NO^{-}_{2}$ will react with $H^{+}$ to form $HNO_{2}$

Hence, before the reaction:

No. of moles of $NO^{-}_{2}$ = $0.15 M \times 1.0 L$

= 0.15 mol

And, no. of moles of $HNO_{2}$ = $0.12 M \times 1.0 L$

= 0.12 mol

On the other hand, after the reaction :

No. of moles of $NO^{-}_{2}$ = moles present initially - moles added

= (0.15 - 0.0116) mol

= 0.1384 mol

Moles of $HNO_{2}$ = moles present initially + moles added

= (0.12 + 0.0116) mol

= 0.1316 mol

As, $K_{a}$ = $4.5 \times 10^{-4}$

$pK_{a} = -log (K_{a})$

= $-log(4.5 \times 10^{-4})$

= 3.347

Since, volume is both in numerator and denominator, we can use mol instead of concentration.

As, pH = $pK_{a} + log \frac{[conjugate base]}{[acid]}$

= 3.347+ log {0.1384/0.1316}

= 3.369

= 3.37 (approx)

Thus, we can conclude that pH after the addition of 1.00 mL of 11.6 M HCl to 1.00 L of the buffer solution is 3.37.

Give a brief description of the symptoms associated with dissociative fugue.

Answer:

People may seem and act normally during the fugue, or they may appear moderately bewildered and draw no notice. When the fugue is over, however, people are thrown into a new scenario with no recall of how they got there or what they were doing.
