Which solid is the most suitable in the space elevator cable

Choose the molecular compound among the substances listed below.

agasfer [191]

Answer: Among the listed substances $XeCl_{4}$ is the molecular compound.

Explanation:

A chemical compound formed by the chemical combination of two or more non-metals is called a molecular compound or covalent compound.

For example, Xe and Cl are non-metals. The compound formed by them is $XeCl_{4}$ which is a molecular compound.

A molecular compound is formed by sharing of atoms between the combining atoms.

Whereas NaF, $MnCl_{2}$ and CaO are all ionic compounds as they are formed by chemical combination of a metal and a non-metal.

Thus, we can conclude that among the listed substances $XeCl_{4}$ is the molecular compound.

Write a structural formula for 1-pentanol, the alcohol derived from pentane, by making a substitution on one of the carbon atoms

DedPeter [7]

To yield an alcohol from an alkane, one reaction could be from alkyl halide through hydrolysis reaction. The alkyl halide should be pentyl chloride. When you add water to it, the OH⁻ ion will replace Cl to make 1-pentanol, while the Cl⁻ ion binds with H⁺ to form HCl. The main product is pentanol, while the by-product is HCl.

fig. 15 shows a simplified diagram of the electrolysis of a molten electrolyte containing lithium chloride. b. Describe how the

melisa1 [442]

During the electrolysis of the molten lithium chloride, the Lithium ions (Li⁺) at the cathode undergoes reduction, and the electron configuration of lithium becomes 1s²2s¹.

<h3>What is electrolysis?</h3>

Electrolysis can be described as the process in which the electric current is passed through the chemical compound to break them. In this process, the atoms and ions are interchanged by the addition or removal of electrons.

The ions are allowed to move freely in this process. When an ionic compound is melted or dissolved in water then ions are produced which can move freely.

During the electrolysis of molten lithium chloride, the lithium ions reach the cathode and accept the electrons while chloride ions reach at anode and loss electrons to become chlorine gas.

At anode : 2 Cl⁻ → Cl₂ + 2e⁻

At cathode: 2 Li⁺ + 2e⁻ → Li

12. Which compound can act as both a BrønstedLowry

oksian1 [2.3K]

1) The compound which can act as a Bronsted-Lowry acid and a Bronsted-Lowry base is definitely water - H2O. Remember that water is amphoteric which means it can either accept protons or donate them, so it is the most proper option among other represented. Here are examples of both base and acid with water : HCl+H20=H30+Cl ; NH3+H2O=NH4+OH

2) The acids in this equilibrium reaction CN– + H2O HCN + OH. Acid species always donate H+ to the species with which they react. In the second option you can see how H2O donates an H+ to CN-. If the reaction gets reversed we will obtain HCN that donates an H+ to OH that shows that it is an acid.

3) The products of self-ionization of water are OH⁻ and H₃O⁺. Self-ionization is an ionization reaction during which H2O deprotonates its hydrogen atoms to become a hydroxide ion -- OH−. After this process OH- protonates another water molecule forming H3O+.

4) The type of solution which is one with a pH of 8 is acidic. Here is a little table that can be a prompt for you if you ever come across such tasks - ph : 7 is neutral. pH lower than 7 are acidic, and pH higher than 7 basic ones.

5) The acid dissociation constant for an acid dissolved in water is equal to the equilibrium constant. I consider this option correct because we can obtan Kw only when dealing with Kb, and we can conclude that the hydrolysis constant of the conujugate base.

6) A 0.12 M solution of an acid that ionizes only slightly in solution would be termed dilute and weak. You can determine it depending on its concentration. Such value as 0.12M usually defined as a dilute solution of a weak acid due to the fact that acid represents its partial ionization which is a direct characteristic of a weak acid.

7) To solve this task we should appeal to Henry's law that says the solubility of a gaz is proportional to its partial pressure. And according to this we can understand that 202kPa is the half of 404kPa which means that the needed solubility must be divided by 2 7.5/2=3.75 g/L and that's all.

8) I think that the most important points which best show how the addition of a solute affects the boiling point, the freezing
point, and the vapor pressure of the solvent are : BOILING: additional attractive forces can only exist between solute and solvent and in order to boil they must be overcome for the solution;we should add KE to overcome the forces. FREEZING : to freeze we have to withdrawn KE as the solute particles are surrounded by solvent molecules. VAPOR : WHen solvent shells are being formed the solute particles reduces the number of solvent particles that have sufficient KE to vaporize.

9) $[H+][OH-]= Kw = 1.0 * 10^-14$
$[H+]= Kw/ [OH-]= 1.0x 10^-14 / 1 x 10^-11 =1 x 10^-3 mol/L 

pH = - log [H+]= - log 1 x 10^-3 = 3$
Since we got Ph of 3 in a result we can define solution as an acidic one, as I mentioned before.

10) Since the formula of the given acid is HA it undergoes like that : HA<=> H+ + A- .
ka = [H][A] / [HA].
Now we have only [H+] and to go further you need to write electroneutrality equation for the reaction :
[H+] = [OH-] + [A-] (since [H]>>>[OH]), then
[H+] = [A-]
Then mass balance equation :
Ct = 0.5M = [A-] + [HA]
[HA] = 0.5 - [A-] = 0.5 - [H+]
Finally here is what we have done and get :
$ka = [H]^2 / (0.5 - [H+]) 
$
$ka = 0.0001*0.0001/(0.5-0.0001) = 2.00x10^-8$

11) The main points that are common for acids : they form Hydrogen ions when dissloved in water, - Ex. Vinegar and Lemon, Ph >7, they have Increased hydrogen ions (H+). The facts about bases : they reduce the concentration of hydgoren ions in a solution which is opposite to asids,- Ex. Antiacid,and Ammonia ,Ph valuse above 7, they form hydrogen (OH-).
- The common points of both acids and bases : Hydrogen ions ,
both not neutral and water based.

The mass percentage of hydrochloric acid within a solution is 28.00%28.00% . Given that the density of this solution is 1.1411.1

sashaice [31]

Answer:

8.76M

Explanation:

Given that

Mass from the density = 1141g

According to the given situation the computation of molarity of the solution is shown below:-

we will took HCL solution which is 1000mL

HCl = 28% by mass

So,

Mass of HCl in 1-litre solution is

$= \frac{28}{100} \times 1141$

Which gives the result of molar mass HCI is

= 319.48g /mol

Now,

Molarity is

$= \frac{319.48}{36.45}$

Which gives results of molarity is

= 8.76M
