Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Salts are produced from the reaction of an acid and a base. In general ...

Acid + Base => Salt + Weak Electrolyte

Acids from the 'Arrhenius Definition' contain an 'ionizable' hydrogen (-H). Such as, HCl, HBr, HI, HNO₃, HClO₄, HF, etc.

Bases from the 'Arrhenius Definition' contain an 'ionizable' hydroxide (-OH). Such as, LiOH, NaOH, KOH, CsOH, Ca(OH)₂, etc.

When the acid and base react, they proceed by what is known as a 'Double Replacement Reaction' or 'Metathesis Reaction'. In the process, the ions of the reactant compounds exchange positions such that a 'Driving Force' compound is formed on the product side. The Driving Force compound is <u>always</u> on the product side of the equation and is a compound that takes one of three forms => A precipitating salt, a compound of a weak acid or weak base (weaker than the starting acid or base) or gas decomposition product (~ vinegar + backing soda rxn => CO₂ gas).

For your problem, split the compound into cations and anions. You can usually tell which is which by using this format on formulas like those listed in your question => reading formula from left to right, place an imaginary line after the 1st metal => this metal will be the cation & the remaining formula will be the anion.

KBr => K | Br => K (Potassium) is the cation (K⁺) and Br (Bromide) is the anion (Br⁻)

KBr => K⁺ + Br⁻

Now. Apply this rule => Add 'H' to anion => HBr,  then add 'OH' to cation => KOH.

HBr is the acid and KOH is the base. Therefore ...        

Acid + Base => Salt + Wk Electrolyte

HBr + KOH => KBr + H₂O (note how ions of reactants exchange places to form products).

So, KBr comes from the reaction of acid HBr and base KOH.

HBr + KOH => KBr + H₂O

To determine the acid and base origins of LiCl and NaF, use the same logic. Hope this helps. Doc :-)

Determine the pH of a solution of 0.00278 M of HClO4. Report the answer to two digits past the decimal.
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer:

The pH of a solution of 0.00278 M of HClO₄ is 2.56

Explanation:

pH is a measure of acidity or alkalinity that indicates the amount of hydrogen ions present in a solution or substance and is calculated as:

pH= - log [H⁺]= - log [H₃O⁺]

On the other hand , a Strong Acid is that acid that in an aqueous solution dissociates completely. In other words, a strong acid completely dissociates into hydrogen ions and anions in solution.

HClO₄ is a strong acid, so in aqueous solution it will be  totally dissociated. Then, the concentration of protons is equal to the initial concentration of  acid and the pH will be calculated:

pH= - log 0.00278

pH= 2.56

<u><em>The pH of a solution of 0.00278 M of HClO₄ is 2.56</em></u>

How many grams of H 2O are produced from 28.8 g of O 2? (Molar Mass of H 2O = 18.02 g) (Molar Mass of O 2=32.00 g) 4 NH 3 (g) +
krek1111 [17]

Answer:  13.9 g of H_2O will be produced from the given mass of oxygen

Explanation:

To calculate the moles :

\text{Moles of solute}=\frac{\text{given mass}}{\text{Molar Mass}}    

\text{Moles of} O_2=\frac{28.8g}{32.00g/mol}=0.900moles

The balanced chemical reaction is:

4NIO_2(g)+7O_2(g)\rightarrow 4NO_2(g)+6H_2O(g)

According to stoichiometry :

7 moles of O_2 produce =  6 moles of H_2O

Thus 0.900 moles of O_2 will produce =\frac{6}{7}\times 0.900=0.771moles  of H_2O

Mass of H_2O=moles\times {\text {Molar mass}}=0.771moles\times 18.02g/mol=13.9g

Thus 13.9 g of H_2O will be produced from the given mass of oxygen
