While naming a haloalkane, the root name must have the name of the longest carbon chain containing the halogen atoms. The type of halogen is given as the prefix (chloro, bromo, iodo). When more than one halogen atom is present attached we use the multiplier in front of the halo prefix( dichloro, trichloro, etc.,)

Therefore when there are two chlorine atoms on the same carbon of methane group, it would be named as dichloromethane.

1. How many moles of oxygen gas are needed to form 21.8 liters of water vapor?

BaLLatris [955]

0.781 moles

Explanation:

We begin by balancing the chemical equation;

O₂ (g) + 2H₂ (g) → 2H₂O (g)

21.8 Liters = 21.8 Kgs

To find how many moles are in 28.1 Kg H₂O;

Molar mass of H₂O = 18 g/mol

28.1/18

= 1.56 moles

The mole ratio between water vapor and oxygen is;

1 : 2

x : 1.56

2x = 1.56

x = 1.56 / 2

x = 0.781

0.781 moles

Which of the following isoelectronic series is correctly ranked from largest ionic radius to smallest ionic radius? 1. N 3−, O 2

love history [14]

Answer:

Option 1: N⁻³ > O⁻² > F⁻ > Na⁺ > Mg⁺²

Explanation:

Ionic radius is the radius of an atom´s ion in ionic crystal structure. In an ion that lose an electron, to form a cation, the radius of the ion gets smaller, because the repulsion between electrons decrease because fewer electrons are present. Conversely, adding on electron to a neutral atom, to form an anion, causes electron - electron repulsions to increase, so the size of the radius of the ion gets bigger.

Isoelectronic species are ions or elements that have the same number of electrons in their electronic shells but have different overall charges, because of their different atomic numbers.

In a isolelectronic series (same number of electrons), the increase of the positive charge (given by the number of protons in the nucleus), will cause a decrease in radius beacuse the greater electrostatic attraction between the electrons and the nucleus. Consequently, the ion with the greatest nuclear charge will have the smallest ionic radius and the ion with the smallest nulear charge will have the largest ionic radius.

We will use this principle to solve our problem.

In our case, the given ions are:

N⁻³ : Z = 7, e⁻ = 10
O⁻²: Z= 8, e⁻ =10
F⁻: Z = 9, e⁻ = 10
Na⁺: Z= 11, e⁻ = 10
Mg⁺²: Z=12, e⁻ =10

where Z= number of protons, and e⁻ = number of electrons.

Hence the decreasing order of ionic radius is:

N⁻³ > O⁻² > F⁻ > Na⁺ > Mg⁺²

Have a nice day!

For the cell constructed from the hydrogen electrode and metal-insoluble salt electrode, B) calculate the mean activity coeffici

Brut [27]

Question:

For the cell constructed from the hydrogen electrode and metal-insoluble salt electrode, B) calculate the mean activity coefficient for 0.124 b HCl solution if E=0.342 V at 298 K

Answer:

The mean activity coefficient for HCl solution is 0.78.

Explanation:

Activity coefficient is defined as the ratio of any chemical activity of any substance with its molar concentration. So in an electrochemical cell, we can write activity coefficient as γ. The equation for determining the mean activity coefficient is

$E=E_{0}-0.0514 \mathrm{V} \ln \gamma$
