Answer: Option (A) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

A transition element is defined as the element which has incompletely filled d-orbital.

For example, atomic number of chromium is 24 and its electronic configuration is [Ar]4s^{1}3d^{5}.

Also, sometimes the s-orbital is completely filled and sometimes it is half-filled.

Hence, we can conclude that a single factor that classifies an element as a transition metal is that the  highest occupied orbital is a "d" orbital.

Rank the following salts in order of decreasing pH of their 0.1 M aqueous solutions.(a) FeCl2, FeCl3, MgCl2, KClO2 .(b) NH4Br, N
Firlakuza [10]

Answer:

a) FeCl2, FeCl3, MgCl2, KClO2.

KClO2 --> K+ + ClO2-; ClO2- will hydrolyse to form HClO +OH-

Mg+2, Fe+2 and Fe+3 ions will form acidic solutions, since theyfom slightly amount of

Mg+2 + 2H2O <-> Mg(OH)2 + 2H+

Fe+2 + 2H2O <-> Fe(OH)2 + 2H+

Fe+3 + 3H2O <-> Fe(OH)3 + 3H+

Therefore;

decreasing pH is high pH to low pH:

KClO2 > MgCl2 > FeCl2 > FeCl3

b) NH4Br, NaBrO2, NaBr, NaClO2.

NH4Br is acidic, forms NH4+ and NH4+ dnates H+ to form NH3 andH+

NaBrO2 is basic, forms Na+ + BrO2- then H2O + BrO2- HBrO2

NABr is neutral, NaClO2 is basics, forms Na+ + ClO2-then H2O + ClO2- HClO2

decreasig pH:

NaClO2 > NaBrO2 > NaBr >NH4Br

Note that HClO2 is stronger acid than HBrO2, therefore, expectmore HBrO2 formation

NaBrO2 > NaClO2 > NaBr >NH4Br

Which of the following would be expected to have the highest viscosity? CH3CH2OH, HOCH2OH, CH3CH2CH3
zaharov [31]

Answer: Out of the given options HOCH_{2}OH is expected to have the highest viscosity.

Explanation:

The resistance occurred in the flow of a liquid substance is called viscosity.

More stronger is the intermolecular forces present in a substance more will be its resistance in its flow. Hence, more will be its viscosity.

For example,  HOCH_{2}OH has strong intermolecular hydrogen bonding than the one's present in CH_{3}CH_{2}OH and CH_{3}CH_{2}CH_{3}. This is because two-OH groups are present over here.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options HOCH_{2}OH is expected to have the highest viscosity.

Rate law equation The rate of a chemical reaction depends on the concentrations of the reactants. For the general reaction betwe
shusha [124]

Answer:  The reaction order with respect to A is m

Explanation:

Order of the reaction is defined as the sum of the concentration of terms on which the rate of the reaction actually depends. It is the sum of the exponents of the molar concentration in the rate law expression.

Elementary reactions are defined as the reactions for which the order of the reaction is same as its molecularity and order with respect to each reactant is equal to its stoichiometric coefficient as represented in the balanced chemical reaction.

For the given reaction:

aA+bB\rightleftharpoons cC+dD  

Rate=k[A]^m[B]^n

In this equation, the order with respect to each reactant is not equal to its stoichiometric coefficient which is represented in the balanced chemical reaction.

Hence, this is not considered as an elementary reaction.

Order with respect to A = m

Order with respect to B = n

Overall order = m+n

Thus order with respect to A is m.
