Explain why unboiled water can be used to prepare an acetic acid solution, but not a naoh solution?

Chemistry
1 answer:
shtirl [24]3 years ago
8 0
NaOH is a hygroscopic compound, which means that it has a very strong affinity for water. Moreover, NaOH is also a stronger base than acetic acid is a strong acid. These two properties of NaOH make it necessary for different precautions to be taken while preparing a solution. 
On the other hand, acetic acid is not very reactive and may easily be prepared in a solution of unboiled water.

Rank the following elements by electron affinity, from most positive to most negative EA value. Rank from most positive to most
Svetlanka [38]

Answer:

Most positive = rubidium

Most negative = fluorine

Explanation:

Electron affinity of an element is the energy released when an electron is attached to a neural atom to form an ion in its gaseous state.

X + e⁻ → X⁻

Electron affinity is similar to electronegativity which is the tendency at which an atom accepts an ion towards itself.

Electron affinity increases across the period and decreases down the group in the periodic table.

In the above option,

Fluorine has the highest electron affinity

Rubidium has the lowest electron affinity

Tellurium and then finally Phosphorus

Helium in this case would have the lowest electron affinity because it has filled orbital and does not require any electron to attain stability. Technically, Helium has the lowest or is expected to have the lowest electron affinity which is close to zero according to quantum mechanics.

Most positive = rubidium

Most negative = fluorine.

You can check periodic table for their exact values

What really is the Ebola virus?
Sloan [31]
The Ebola virus belongs to a family of viruses termed Filoviridae. Filovirus particles form long sometimes branched filaments of varying shapes, as well as shorter filaments , and may measure up to 14,000 nanometers in length with diameter of 80 nanometers. Viral particles contain one molecule of single stranded RNA enveloped in a lipid membrane. New viral particle bud from the surface of their host cell. Although Ebola virus was only discovered in 1976, it is an ancient virus and is thought to have split from other viruses thousands of years ago.
