Answer: General formula for acid is given by HX.

Explanation: To write the general formula for an acid, we fix one atom which is hydrogen because this atom is common to all the acids.

General formula for acid is written by HX.

where H represents Hydrogen atom.

and X represents any monoatomic ion or polyatomic ions.

For example: The acid having formula H_2SO_4 is in the general form where, X is SO_4^{2-} which is a polyatomic anion.

If 1 atom of sulfur combines with 2 atoms of oxygen to form sulfur dioxide, what is the ratio of mass of sulfur atom to mass of
Andrew [12]

Answer: The ratio of mass of sulfur atom to mass of oxygen atom in sulfur dioxide is 1: 1.

Explanation:

Law of constant proportion states that In a chemical substance the elements are always present in definite proportions by mass. This law is also known as 'Law of definite proportions '.

Mass of 1 atom of sulphur = 32 g

Mass of 1 atom of oxygen = 16 g

Mass of 2 atoms of oxygen =16g\times 2=32g

In formation of SO_2 , 1 atom of sulfur combines with 2 atoms of oxygen and thus the mass ratio will be 32: 32= 1:1 .

Thus the ratio of mass of sulfur atom to mass of oxygen atom in sulfur dioxide is 1: 1.

Why is the solubility of khp in water greater than many fatty acids with six or more carbons?
Georgia [21]
Solubility of khp in water is greater than many fatty acids because khp is a polar substance while fatty acids are non-polar. Khp has positive and negative charges which help it to dissociate into ions when it dissolves in water. Fatty acids on the other hand contain long unbranched hydrocarbons with one end having a carboxylic acid group. This make water molecules to repel from them because no part of the fatty acid molecules have any charge.

A solution is made by dissolving 85.0 mL of sodium fluoride to water until the final volume is 350.0 mL. Identify the solute in
Natasha_Volkova [10]

Answer:

  • <u><em>Sodium fluoride</em></u>

Explanation:

A <em>solution </em>is constituted by two parts: the solute and the solvent (there may be more than 1 solute and more than 1 solvent, but that is not the key of the answer).

<em>Solute</em> is the substace that is dissolved and it is in less amount than the solvent.

<em>Solvent</em> is the substance that can dissolve the solute and it is a greater amount than the solute.

In the given solution:

  • <em>sodium fluoride</em>, <em>85.0 mL</em>, is the solute,
  • <em>water</em>, <em>350.0 mL</em> is the solvent, and
  • the mixture of both substances is the solution.
