Ca²⁺ion has a lower ratio of charge to volume.

The charge density of an ion is defined as the ratio of the charge of an ion to its volume. Scandium ion has high charge density than calcium ions. The charge density of an ion is defined as the ratio of the charge of an ion to its volume.

Charge density also depends on the size of the ion and valence electrons. The volume of an ion increases with its size. It is inversely proportional to ion volume and directly proportional to charge magnitude. Scandium and calcium are IV periodic elements with atomic numbers of 21 and 20 respectively. Scandium loses three electrons and has a +3 charge and calcium is a divalent cation. Hence, the Scandium ion has high charge density than the calcium ion.

scoundrel [369]

Answer: 1) only a salt and water

An acid and base reacts together to undergo neutralization to form salt and water.

$HCl+NaOH\rightarrow NaCl+H_2O$

where HCl is an acid and NaOH is a base to form salt (NaCl) and water $(H_2O)$ .

Answer: 2) The formula of the hydrogen ion is often written as $H^+$ .

All acids dissociate in water to give $H^+$ ions.

Answer: 3) Arrhenius acids are substances that ionizes to yield protons in aqueous solution.

$HCl\rightarrow H^++Cl^-$

Arrhenius bases are substance that ionizes to yield hydroxide ions in aqueous solution.

$NaOH\rightarrow Na^++OH^-$

Answer: 4) A conjugate acid base pair transfers hydrogen ion.

$CH_3COO^-+H_2O\rightarrow CH_3COOH+H_3O^+$

Here $CH_3COO^-$ accepts a proton and thus act as a base and the corresponding $CH_3COOH$ is its conjugate acid.

Answer: 5) Bronsted Lowry acid is a substance that donates protons. Bronsted Lowry base is a substance that accepts protons.

$NH_4^+$ and $NH_3$

$NH_3+H^+\rightarrow NH_4^+$

$NH_3$ is a acid which accepts proton and thus acts as base to form conjugate acid $NH_4^+$ .

Kc for the reaction N2O4 <=> 2NO2 is 0.619 at 45 degrees C If 50.0g of N2O4 is introduced into an empty 2.10L container, w

Nadya [2.5K]

Answer:

p(N2O4) = 0.318 atm

p(NO2) = 7.17 atm

Explanation:

Step 1: Data given

Kc = 0.619

Temperature = 45.0 °C

Mass of N2O4 = 50.0 grams

Volume = 2.10 L

Molar mass N2O4 = 92.01 g/mol

Step 2: The balanced equation

N2O4 ⇔ 2NO2

Step 3: Calculate moles N2O4

Moles N2O4 = 50.0 grams / 92.01 g/mol

Moles N2O4 = 0.543 moles

Step 4: The initial concentration

[N2O4] = 0.543 moles/2.10 L = 0.259 M

[NO2]= 0 M

Step 5: Calculate concentration at the equilibrium

For 1 mol N2O4 we'll have 2 moles NO2

[N2O4] = (0.259 -x)M

[NO2]= 2x

Step 6: Calculate Kc

Kc = 0.619= [NO2]² / [N2O4]

0.619 = (2x)² / (0.259-x)

0.619 = 4x² / (0.259 -x)

x = 0.1373

Step 7: Calculate concentrations

[N2O4] = (0.259 -x)M = 0.1217 M

[NO2]= 2x = 0.2746 M

Step 8: The moles

Moles = molarity * volume

Moles N2O4 = 0.1217 M * 2.10 = 0.0256 moles

Moles NO2 = 0.2746 M * 2.10 = 0.577 moles

Step 9: Calculate partial pressure

p*V = n*R*T

⇒ with p = the partial pressure

⇒ with V = the volume = 2.10 L

⇒ with n = the number of moles

⇒ with R = the gas constant = 0.08206 L*atm/mol*K

⇒ with T = the temperature = 45 °C = 318 K

p = (nRT)/V

p(N2O4) = (0.0256 *0.08206 * 318)/ 2.10

p(N2O4) = 0.318 atm

p(NO2) = (0.577 *0.08206 * 318)/ 2.10

p(NO2) = 7.17 atm
