Given :

a. BH_x b. CH_x c. NH_x d. CH_2Cl_x .

To Find :

Find the most likely vale of x for each one .

Solution :

a . BH_x

Because boron have valency of 3 .

So , x = 3 .

b . CH_x

Valency of carbon is 4 .

x = 4 .

c . NH_x

Valency of nitrogen is 3 .

Therefore , x = 3 .

d . CH_2Cl_x

Now ,we know valency of carbon is 4 and hydrogen is 1 .

Also , two hydrogen are already there .

So , only 2 electrons left to share .

Since , chlorine have valency of 1 .

Therefore , only 2 electrons of chlorine can connect .

x = 2 .

Hence , this is the required solution .

kondor19780726 [428]

Answer : Formation of yellow precipitate is the physical evidence that there has been a chemical reaction.

Explanation :

A chemical reaction happens when 2 or more substances chemically react with each other.

There are 4 evidences indicating that a chemical reaction has occurred which are mentioned below.

1. Change in color : On mixing, the reaction mixture can change color indicating that a chemical change may have occurred.

2. Formation of precipitate : A reaction in which a solid is formed on mixing 2 aqueous solutions is called as precipitation reaction. Here, the formation of solid indicates a chemical change.

ex. AgNO_{3} (aq) + NaCl (aq) \rightarrow AgCl (s) + NaNO_{3} (aq)

In above reaction, on mixing the solutions, a white precipitate of AgCl is formed which indicates a chemical change.

3. Evolution of gas : A chemical change also occurs when a gas is evolved on mixing 2 substances.

ex. 2HCl (aq) + Na_{2}CO_{3} (aq) \rightarrow 2NaCl (aq) + H_{2}O (l) + CO_{2} (g)

In above reaction, CO2 gas is evolved and bubbles can be seen in the form of effervescence.

4. Change in temperature : Certain chemical reactions absorb or evolve heat. When a chemical reaction evolves heat, the temperature of the final reaction mixture increases and when it absorbs heat, the temperature decreases. This increase and decrease in temperature indicates a chemical change.

ex.  HCl (aq) + NaOH (aq) \rightarrow NaCl(aq) + H_{2}O (l)

In above reaction, the final mixture becomes hot as the reaction releases heat. ( Exothermic)

Change in odor also indicates a chemical change.

For the given reaction, a yellow precipitate of PbI2 is getting formed.

Therefore formation of this precipitate is the physical evidence that there has been a chemical reaction.

Why does such a small decrease in pH mean such a large increase in acidity?
den301095 [7]

Answer:

pH is an index of how many protons, or hydrogen ions (H+) are dissolved and free in a solution. The pH scale goes from 0 to 14. A fluid with a pH of 7 is neutral. Below 7, it is acidic; above 7, it is alkaline.

The more below or above 7 a solution is, the more acidic or alkaline it is. The scale is not linear—a drop from pH 8.2 to 8.1 indicates a 30 percent increase in acidity, or concentration of hydrogen ions; a drop from 8.1 to 7.9 indicates a 150 percent increase in acidity. Bottom line: Small-sounding changes in ocean pH are actually quite large and definitely in the direction of becoming less alkaline, which is the same as becoming more acidic.

If you think about it, we use descriptive words like this all the time. A person who stands 5’5” tall and weighs 300 pounds isn’t thin. If he loses 100 pounds, he still won’t be thin, but he will be thinner than he was before he went on the diet. (And we are more likely to comment that he’s looking trimmer than to say he’s not as fat as he used to be.)

How can two atoms of the same chemical element be different?
suter [353]

The answer is B as isotopes are different versions of the same chemical element containing the same amount of protons and electrons but different amounts of neutrons.
