Write the balanced equation showing hydrogen iodide (HI(g)) dissolving in water.

1 answer:

6 0

According to Bronsted-Lowery concept of acid and base, Acid is that substance which donated H⁺, while, Base is that substance which accepts H⁺.

Hydroiodic Acid being a strong Acid with Ka value of 3.2 × 10⁹ is when dissolved in water it donates H⁺ to water and water acts as a Base. i.e.

HI + H₂O → H₃O⁺ + I⁻

H₃O⁺ formed is the conjugate Acid of H₂O, while I⁻ is the Conjugate Base of HI.

Looking at the following equation, what coefficient should be placed in front of the H2? Fe + H2SO4 --> Fe2(SO4)3 + H2

Hatshy [7]

Answer:

3 (three)

Explanation:

2 Fe + 3H2SO4 = Fe2(SO4)3 + 3 H2 (basically just balance both sides)

Given the reaction: S + O2 ---> SO2

saul85 [17]

Answer: 67.1 moles of SO2

Explanation:

Since the equation is already balanced, you would just need to cancel out the O2 and multiple the 67.1 mol by the 1 mol of SO2 to get your answer.

Which atom would tend to gain 1 valence electrons from another atom in order to become stable

Mrrafil [7]

Answer: Option (D) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Atomic number of chlorine is 17 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 7.

So, in order to attain stability it tends to gain one electron from a donor atom. Therefore, a chlorine ion is formed as $Cl^{-1}$ .

As it gains only one electron that is why, -1 charge occurs.

Whereas Ar is a noble gas with atomic number 18. As it has completely filled octet so it will be unreactive in nature as it is already stable.

Similarly, He is also a noble gas so it is unreactive in nature.

Atomic number of boron (B) is 5 with electronic distribution 2, 3. So, in order to attain stability it needs to lose 3 electrons.

Thus, we can conclude that Cl is the atom which tends to gain 1 valence electron from another atom in order to become stable.
