One valence electron is lost by Lithium

<h3>What is Electron ?</h3>

Unattached or attached to an atom, an electron is a negatively charged subatomic particle. One of the three main types of particles within an atom is an electron that is bound to it. The other two are protons and neutrons.

Due to the fact that full valence shells are more stable states and that all noble gases have them, lithium wants to lose electrons in order to become like helium. Consequently, alkali metals lose one electron to achieve the closest noble gas configuration.

Each lithium atom loses an electron to become a Li+ cation when it forms chemical compounds with other elements. The anions in ionic compounds that are negatively charged are therefore attracted to these. There are many applications for lithium compounds.

Since full valence shells are more stable states, and all noble gases have them, lithium wants to lose electrons to become like helium. In order to obtain the nearest noble gas configuration, alkali metals must lose one electron.

A 3.42 gram sample of an unknown gas is found to occupy a volume of 1.90 L at a pressure of 547 mm Hg and a temperature of 33 °C

Use the Ideal Gas Law to find the moles of gas first.

Be sure to convert T from Celsius to Kelvin by adding 273.

Also I prefer to deal with pressure in atm rather than mmHg, so divide the pressure by 760 to get it in atm.

PV = nRT —> n = PV/RT
P = 547 mmHg = 547/760 atm = 0.720 atm
V = 1.90 L
T = 33°C = 33 + 273 K = 306 K
R = 0.08206 L atm / mol K

n = (0.720 atm)(1.90 L) / (0.08206 L atm / mol K)(306 K) = 0.0545 mol of gas

Now divide grams by mol to get the molecular weight.

3.42 g / 0.0545 mol = 62.8 g/mol

A 25.0-mL sample of 0.150 M butanoic acid is titrated with a 0.150 M NaOH solution. What is the pH before any base is added? The

hoa [83]

HA ⇄ H⁺ + A⁻
so:
$\frac{[H^+][A^-]}{[HA]} = 1.5 x 10^{-5}$
and now:
$\frac{(x)(x)}{(0.150-x)}$ = 1.5 x 10⁻⁵
x is considered very small compared to 0.15
x² = 2.25 x 10⁻⁶
x = 1.5 x 10⁻³
So [H⁺] = 1.5 x 10⁻³
pH = - log [H⁺] = - log (1.5 x 10⁻³) = 2.83
