Answer:

By finding a chemical formula with H as a cation (positively charged ion), you can immediately know that the compound is an acid.

Explanation:

<u><em> By finding a chemical formula with H as a cation (positively charged ion), you can immediately know that the compound is an acid.</em></u>

According to the Arrhenius Acid-Base Theory, acids are those substances that dissolved in water divide by generating H⁺ together with an anion (ion with a negative charge). In an aqueous solution, the H⁺ protons react immediately with the water molecules to form H₃O⁺ hydronium ions.

According to this theory, those acids that dissociate completely are strong acids (releasing all protons H⁺), while acids that do not dissociate completely are weak acids (the percentage of dissociation is not 100%, releasing few protons H⁺)

An example is:

HCl + H₂O ⇒ Cl⁻ + H₃O⁺

This is an example of a strong acid.

Which elements are present in the compound aluminium nitrate?
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

Aluminum nitrate is a salt composed of aluminum and nitric acid, belonging to a group of reactive chemicals - organic nitrate and nitrite compounds. The nitrate ion is polyatomic, meaning it is composed of two or more ions that are covalently bonded. This ion makes up the conjugate base of nitric acid.

Place the following covalent bonds in order from least to most polar: a. H-Cl b. H-Br c. H-S d. H-C
timofeeve [1]

Answer:


The Order is as follow,

                                     C-H < S-H < H-Br < H-Cl


Explanation:

                      Polarity depends on the electronegativity difference between two atoms, greater the electronegativity difference, greater will be the polarity of bond and vice versa.


Electronegativity Difference between Hydrogen and other given elements are as follow,


1) C-H;

               E.N of Carbon     = 2.55

               E.N of Hydrogen = 2.20

                                           ------------

               Difference              0.35


2) S-H;

               E.N of Sulfur       = 2.58

               E.N of Hydrogen = 2.20

                                           ------------

               Difference               0.38


3) H-Br;

               E.N of Bromine   = 2.96

               E.N of Hydrogen = 2.20

                                          -------------

               Difference              0.76


4) H-Cl;

               E.N of Chlorine   = 3.16

               E.N of Hydrogen = 2.20

                                           -----------

               Difference               0.96


Hence it is proved that the greatest electronegativity difference is found between H and Chlorine in H-Cl, therefore it is highly polar bond and vice versa.

g A laboratory analysis of an unknown compound found the following composition: C 75.68% ; H 8.80% ; O 15.52%. What is the empir
sammy [17]

Answer:

THE EMPIRICAL FORMULA FOR THE UNKNOWN COMPOUND IS C7H9O

Explanation:

The empirical formula for the unknown compound can be obtained by following the processes below:

1 . Write out the percentage composition of the individual elements in the compound

C = 75.68 %

H = 8.80 %

O = 15.52 %

2. Divide the percentage composition by the atomic masses of the elements

C = 75 .68 / 12 = 6.3066

H = 8.80 / 1 = 8.8000

O = 15.52 / 16 = 0.9700

3. Divide the individual results by the lowest values

C = 6.3066 / 0.9700 = 6.5016

H = 8.8000 / 0.9700 = 9.0722

O = 0.9700 / 0.9700 = 1

4. Round up the values to the whole number

C = 7

H = 9

O = 1

5 Write out the empirical formula for the compound

C7H90

In conclusion, the empirical formula for the unknown compound is therefore C7H9O

A lithium flame has a characteristic red color due to emissions of wavelength 671 nm. What is the mass equivalence of 1 mol of p
e-lub [12.9K]

Answer:

1.98x10⁻¹² kg

Explanation:

The <em>energy of a photon</em> is given by:

  • E= hc/λ

h is Planck's constant, 6.626x10⁻³⁴ J·s

c is the speed of light, 3x10⁸ m/s

and λ is the wavelenght, 671 nm (or 6.71x10⁻⁷m)

  • E = 6.626x10⁻³⁴ J·s * 3x10⁸ m/s ÷ 6.71x10⁻⁷m = 2.96x10⁻¹⁹ J

Now we multiply that value by <em>Avogadro's number</em>, to <u>calculate the energy of 1 mol of such protons</u>:

  • 1 mol =  6.023x10²³ photons
  • 2.96x10⁻¹⁹ J *  6.023x10²³ = 1.78x10⁵ J

Finally we <u>calculate the mass equivalence</u> using the equation:

  • E=m*c²
  • m=E/c²
  • m =  1.78x10⁵ J / (3x10⁸ m/s)² = 1.98x10⁻¹² kg
