  • Different intermolecular attractions accessible to solvent molecules cause various solvent effects, in part.
  • Certain solvents form hydrogen bonds. A fairly typical example is water, as well as alcohols like methanol. Others don't donate hydrogen bonds; they can only accept them.
  • Some solvents may more effectively stabilize the anions that result from the deprotonation of Bronsted acids. As a result, when measured in various solvents, pKa values may vary.
<h3>What is pKa value?</h3>
  • In layman's terms, pKa is a measurement of an acid's strength. A strong acid will have a pKa value that is lower than 0.
  • To be more specific, pKa is the Ka value's negative log base ten value (acid dissociation constant).
  • How tightly a proton is retained by a Bronsted acid is how the strength of an acid is measured.

Convert 21 grams of radon into atoms of radon.
monitta

Answer:

The atomic mass of radon is 222.

Explanation:

. That means that one mole of radon weighs 222 grams (222 grams/moles). We can therefore make the following equation:

Grams × (1/222) = Moles of Radon

A piece of potassium metal is added to water in a beaker. The reaction that takes place is 2K(s) 2H20(/) ..... 2KOH(aq) H2(g) Pr
kakasveta [241]

Answer:

Explanation:

The given reaction is exothermic . So ΔH is negative .

Gas is evolving so work done by gas is positive or w is positive.

Change in internal energy that is ΔU is negative.

q = u - w

u is negative , w is positive so q is negative .

Jimmy's Chemical reaction/ Recipe for making Grilled chese sandwiches is given below: 1 slice of cheese + 2 slices of bread = 1
Juli2301 [7.4K]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

We have been told in the question that the equation of the reaction is; 1 slice of cheese + 2 slices of bread = 1 Grilled cheese sandwich ( mole ratio is, 1:2:1) .

Then the reagents are 10 slices of cheese 30 slices of bread. It then follows that 10 slices of cheese should be combined with 20 slices of bread according to the mole ratio.

However, we have 30 slices of bread and 10 slices of cheese so cheese is the limiting reactant while bread is the reactant in excess.

Yes, the number of glilled chese sandwishes he can make is decided by the limiting reactant because it gets used up most.
