Borax in water forms an ion called the borate ion
in doing this you can mix this with a glue which can create slime :)

2. What ions are present in what ratio in a solution of aqueous calcium chloride?

Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

$\mathrm{Ca}^{2+} \text { and } \mathrm{Cl} \text { - ions are present in } 1: 2 \text { ratio in a solution of aqueous calcium chloride. }$

Explanation:

Here in Calcium Chloride ionic bond is present in between calcium and chlorine atoms. As we know according to Octet rule calcium have two excess atoms and for matching nearest noble gas electronic configuration. It donate two electrons to gain more stability and form $\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}$ , while chlorine is deficient from one electron to meet nearest noble gas electronic configuration therefore two chlorine atoms accept excess electron from calcium individually and form two $\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$ ions.

$\text { Equation is as follows: } \mathrm{Ca}^{2+}+2 \mathrm{Cl}^{-} \rightarrow \mathrm{CaCl}_{2}$

Hence aqueous solution of calcium chloride breaks the ionic bond pairing in one $\mathrm{Ca}^{2+}$ and two $\mathrm{Cl}^{-}$ ions: $\mathrm{CaCl}_{2} \longrightarrow \mathrm{H}_{2} \mathrm{O} \quad \mathrm{Ca}^{2+}(\mathrm{ag})+2 \mathrm{Cl}(\mathrm{ag})$

The strength of an acid is affected by the polarity of the bond connected to the acidic hydrogen. The more highly polarized this

alexgriva [62]

Answer:

Explanation:

Oxyacids are acid containing oxygen; they are also known as acid-alcohol or acid-phenol. As said earlier, the strength of these acids increases with increases in the polarity of these compounds. So, what makes the polarity is as a result of the electronegative substituents attached to it. Halogen family possesses the highest electronegativity in the periodic table, and electronegativity decreases down the group.

The ranking of the oxyacids in order of decreasing acid strength from strongest to weakest acid is:

HClO3 > . HClO2 > HClO > HBrO

Identify the intermediate leads to the major product for the reaction of 2-methyl-2-butene with hydrogen bromide in the presence

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

Explanation:

We must have a good idea of the fact that there are two mechanisms that come into play when we are discussing about the addition of hydrogen halides to alkenes. The first is the ionic mechanism and the second is the radical mechanism.

The ionic mechanism is accounted for by the Markovnikov rule while the radical mechanism occurs in the presence of peroxides and is generally referred to as anti Markovnikov addition.

The intermediate in anti Markovnikov addition involves the most stable radical, in this case, it is a tertiary radical as shown in the images attached. The most stable radical is II hence it leads to the major product shown in the other image.
