Answer: Option (B) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

Atomic number of lithium is 3 and its electronic distribution is 2, 1.

Atomic number of bromine is 35 and its electronic distribution is 2, 8, 18, 7.

It is known that a neutral atom which accepts electrons acquires a negative charge and a neutral atom that loses electrons will acquire a positive charge.

So, in order to attain stability lithium will lose its 1 valence electron and bromine will accept its 1 electron.

Therefore, lithium will acquire a positive charge and bromine will acquire a negative charge.

Thus, we can conclude that electrical charges would the 2 newly formed ions take on is Li^{+} and Br^{-}.

I believe the Lithium will give up its electron to the bromine so it would become negative

 so it is Li- and Br+

What volume, in milliliters, of a 0.997 M KOH solution is needed to neutralize 30.0 mL of 0.0400 M HCl?
deff fn [24]

Answer:

1.2 mL

Explanation:

We'll begin by writing the balanced equation for the reaction. This is illustrated:

HCl + KOH —> KCl + H₂O

From the balanced equation,

Mole ratio of the acid, HCl (nₐ) = 1

Mole ratio of base, KOH (n₆) = 1

Finally, we shall determine the volume of the base, KOH needed to neutralize the acid, HCl as follow:

Molarity of base, KOH (M₆) = 0.997 M

Volume of acid, HCl (Vₐ) = 30 mL

Molarity of acid, HCl (Mₐ) = 0.0400 M

Volume of base, KOH (V₆) =?

MₐVₐ / M₆V₆ = nₐ/n₆

0.04 × 30 / 0.997 × V₆ = 1/1

1.2 / 0.997 × V₆ = 1

Cross multiply

0.997 × V₆ = 1.2

Divide both side by 0.997

V₆ = 1.2 / 0.997

V₆ = 1.2 mL

Thus, the volume of the base, KOH needed to neutralize the acid is 1.2 mL.

How can Newton's Third Law of Motion be used to explain why it is difficult to walk on a slippery surface, such as ice?
Olenka [21]
E ground pushes you forward. But that interaction is friction. Reduce friction and it doesn't matter how strong your legs are, the surface is incapable of pushing you accordingly. The coefficient of static friction is very low so it is easy to slide your foot rather than push.

Which one of the following groups of chemical compounds is composed entirely of organic compounds?
guajiro [1.7K]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Organic compounds are chemical compounds which usually contains one or more atoms of carbon, hydrogen, oxygen and sometimes nitrogen or sulphur. Carbon and hydrogen are the main element that is contained in most organic compounds.

Option A is wrong because calcium phosphate is not an organic compound, although all the other compounds in the option are organic compounds.

Option B is wrong because calcium chloride is not an organic compound

Option C is wrong also as calcium sulphate is not an organic compound

Option D is correct as all are organic compounds

THIS IS A THREE PART QUESTION IF YOU CAN HELP IT WOULD BE REALLY APPRECIATED SO I DONT FAIL.
Nostrana [21]

Answer:

1. B = 1.13M

2. A. 8.46%

3. D = 0.0199

Explanation:

1. Molarity of a a solution = number of moles of solute/ volume of solution in L

Number of moles of solute = mass of solute/molar mass of solute

Molar mass of NaC₂H₃O₂ = 82 g/mol, mass of NaC₂H₃O₂ = 245 g

Number of moles of NaC₂H₃O₂ = 245 g / 82 g/mol = 2.988 moles

Molarity of solution = 2.988 mols/ 2.65 L = 1.13 M

2. Percentage by mass of a substance = mass of substance /mass of solution × 100%

Mass of 2.65 L of water = density × volume

Density of water = 1 Kg/L = 1000 g/L; volume of waterb= 2.65 L

Mass of water = 1000 g/L × 2.65 L = 2650 g

Mass of solution = mass of water + mass of solute = 245 + 2650 =2895 g

Percentage by mass of NaC₂H₃O₂ = 245/2895 × 100% = 8.46%

3. Mole fraction of NaC₂H₃O₂ = moles of NaC₂H₃O₂/moles of solution

Moles of water = mass /molar mass

Mass of water = 2650 g; molar mass of water = 18 g/mol

Moles of water = 2650 g / 18 g/mol = 147.222 moles

Moles of solution = moles of solute + moles of water = 147.222 + 2.988 = 150.21

Moles of NaC₂H₃O₂ =2.988 moles

Moles fraction of NaC₂H₃O₂ =2.988/150.21 = 0.0199
