Answer:

Chemical properties of acids are the following.

1) Acids have pH lower than neutral i. e. 0 to 6.

2) Acids have sour taste.

3) It changes the color of indicator from blue litmus to red.

4) When the acid react with base forming salt and water.

5) When acid react with metals it produces hydrogen gas.

6) Acid have the ability to corode metals.

Use the van der waals equation to calculate the pressure exerted by 1.335 mol of cl2 in a volume of 4.920 l at a temperature of

nika2105 [10]

Van der waal or ideal eqn is given by PV = NRT; P = NRT/ V. Where N = 1.335 is the number of moles. T = 272K is temperature. V = 4.920L is the volume. And R = 0.08205L. Substiting the values into the eqn; we have, P = (1.331* 0.08205 * 272)/ 4.920 = 29.7047/ 4.920 = 6.03atm.

Fumaric acid, which occurs in many plants, contains, by mass, 41.4% carbon, 3.47% hydrogen, and 55.1% oxygen. The molecular mass

lukranit [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

C = 41.4/12 = 3.43

H = 3.47/1 = 3.47

O = 55.1/16 =3.44

CHO is the skeletal formula (divide each by the lowest number above). The results are close enough to 1 to be 1.

(CHO)_x = 116

C + H + O = 29

(29) _ x = 116

x = 116/29

x = 4

So there area 4 carbons 4 hydrogens and 4 oxygens.

The correct formula is C4H4O4

Recently, the United States government decided to construct a huge crypt in the middle of Yucca Mountain in Nevada to bury high-

Anton [14]

The three concerns that the residents of this area might be:

1) The cost of not moving forward is extremely high, so they opposed the plan, as they think it would affect US economy

2) Nuclear waste disposal capability is an environmental imperative, so their environment would be polluted by very radioactive materials.

3) Demand for new nuclear plants also demands disposal capability which supports national security but again, their site will be no longer for them. But unfortunately, Extensive studies consistently show Yucca Mountain to be a sound site for nuclear waste disposal so the plan can't be abolished.

Hope this helps!

Lithium and fluorine undergo ionic bonding. Using the noble gas electron configurations for each (below), please explain the pro

Slav-nsk [51]

Answer:

Lithium loses one electron to fluorine and forms ionic bond, having formula $LiF$ .

Explanation:

Lithium is the element of the group 1 and period 2 which means that the valence electronic configuration is $[He]2s^1$ .

Fluorine is the element of the group 17 and period 2 which means that the valence electronic configuration is $[He]2s^22p^5$ .

Thus, lithium loses 1 electron and become positively charged. Fluorine on the other hand accepts this electron and become negatively charged. This is done in order that the octet of the atoms are complete. These both ions then form ionic bond as their will be electrostatic interaction between the two oppositely charged ions.

Thus, the formula of calcium chloride is $LiF$ .
