They are also called the noble gases or inert gases. They are virtually unreactive towards other elements or compounds. They are found in trace amounts in the atmosphere. Their elemental form at room temperature is colorless, odorless and monatomic gases. They also have full octet of eight valence electrons in their highest orbitals so they have a very little tendency to gain or lose electrons to form ions or share electrons with other elements in covalent bonds.

Gold has a specific heat of 0.126 J/g.C. Copper has a specific heat of 0.386 J/g C. Which of the two metals would require more
ASHA 777 [7]

Answer:

The copper, because its specific heat is higher, meaning it takes more heat (Joules) per gram to raise the temperature 1 degree Celsius.

Choose the aqueous solution that has the highest boiling point. These are all solutions of nonvolatile solutes and you should as
UNO [17]

Answer: 0.100 m K_2SO_4

Explanation:

Elevation in boiling point is given by:

\Delta T_b=i\times K_b\times m

\Delta T_b=T_b-T_b^0 = Elevation in boiling point

i= vant hoff factor

K_b = boiling point constant

m= molality

1. For 0.100 m K_2SO_{4}

K_2SO_4\rightarrow 2K^{+}+SO_4^{2-}  

, i= 3 as it is a electrolyte and dissociate to give 3 ions. and concentration of ions will be 3\times 0.100=0.300

2. For 0.100 m LiNO_3

LiNO_3\rightarrow Li^{+}+NO_3^{-}  

, i= 2 as it is a electrolyte and dissociate to give 2 ions, concentration of ions will be 2\times 0.100=0.200

3.  For 0.200 m C_2H_8O_3

, i= 1 as it is a non electrolyte and does not dissociate, concentration of ions will be 1\times 0.200=0.200

4. For 0.060 m Na_3PO_4

Na_3PO_4\rightarrow 3Na^{+}+PO_4^{3-}  

, i= 4 as it is a electrolyte and dissociate to give 4 ions. and concentration of ions will be 4\times 0.060=0.24m

Thus as concentration of solute is highest for K_2SO_4 , the elevation in boiling point is highest and thus has the highest boiling point.

Which statements regarding the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation are true? If the pH of the solution is known as is the pKa for the
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

1, 2, and 3 are true.

Explanation:

The Henderson-Hasselbalch equation is:

pH = pka + log₁₀ \frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}

  • If the pH of the solution is known as is the pKa for the acid, the ratio of conjugate base to acid can be determined. <em>TRUE</em>

pH = pka + log₁₀ \frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}

If you know pH and pka:

10^(pH-pka) = \frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}

The ratio will be: 10^(pH-pka)

  • At pH = pKa for an acid, [conjugate base] = [acid] in solution. <em>TRUE</em>

pH = pka + log₁₀ \frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}

0 = log₁₀ \frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}

10^0 = \frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}

1 = \frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}

As ratio is 1,  [conjugate base] = [acid] in solution.

  • At pH >> pKa for an acid, the acid will be mostly ionized. <em>TRUE</em>

pH = pka + log₁₀ \frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}

If pH >> pKa,  10^(pH-pka) will be >> 1, that means that you have more [A⁻] than [HA]

  • At pH << pKa for an acid, the acid will be mostly ionized. <em>FALSE</em>

pH = pka + log₁₀ \frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}

If pH << pKa,  10^(pH-pka) will be << 1, that means that you have more [HA] than [A⁻]

I hope it helps!
