Answer: Two chlorine atoms

Explanation:

Chlorine is a nonmetal belonging to group 7 of the periodic table. It has an atomic number of 17 distributed as (2, 8, 7), so it has 7 valence electrons and needs JUST ONE to complete its outermost shell.

Cl + e- ---> Cl-

On the other hand, barium is a metal belonging to group 2 on the periodic table. It has an atomic number of 56 with 2

valence electrons in its outermost shell, and gives off the two electrons to form a stable octet structure.

Ba ----> Ba2+ + 2e-

Thus, barium loses its 2 outermost electrons to form a Ba2+ ion, while TWO chlorine atoms receive them to form 2Cl- resulting in an ionic bond in the compound, BaCl2 (Barium Chloride)

Ba2+ + 2Cl- ---> BaCl2

Which of the following is an important application of hydrogen bonding

Andrews [41]

Hydrogen bonding is important because it is crucial to all life on Earth. Here are three reasons why hydrogen bonding is important. DNA has a double-helix structure because hydrogen bonds hold together the base pairs in the middle. Without hydrogen bonds, DNA would have to exist as a different structure.

Explain a polar molecules and give examples

ivanzaharov [21]

Ethanol is polar because the oxygen atoms attract electrons because of their higher electronegativity than other atoms in the molecule. Thus the -OH group in ethanol has a slight negative charge. Ammonia (NH3) is polar. Sulfur dioxide (SO2) is polar.

(b) The conductivity of a 0.01 mol dm–3 solution of a monobasic organic acid in water is 5.07 × 10–2 S m–1. If the molar conduct

Zarrin [17]

Explanation:

The given data is as follows.

$\Lambda^{o}_{m}$ (NaCl) = $1.264 \times 10^{-2}$

$\Lambda^{o}_{m}$ (H-O=C-ONO) = $1.046 \times 10^{-2}$

$\Lambda^{o}_{m}$ (HCl) = $4.261 \times 10^{-2}$

Conductivity of monobasic acid is $5.07 \times 10^{-2} S m^{-1}$

Concentration = 0.01 $mol/dm^{3}$

Therefore, molar conductivity ( $\Lambda_{m}$ ) of monobasic acid is calculated as follows.

$\Lambda_{m} = \frac{conductivity}{concentration}$

= $\frac{5.07 \times 10^{-2} S m^{-1}}{0.01 mol/dm^{3}}$

= $\frac{5.07 \times 10^{-2} S m^{-1}}{0.01 mol \times 10^{3}}$

= $5.07 \times 10^{-3} S m^{2} mol^{-1}$

Also, $\Lambda^{o}_{m}$ = $\Lambda^{o}_{m}_{(HCl)} + \Lambda^{o}_{m}_{(H-O=C-ONO)} - \Lambda^{o}_{m}_{(NaCl)}$

= $4.261 \times 10^{-2} + 1.046 \times 10^{-2} - 1.264 \times 10^{-2}$

= $4.043 \times 10^{-2} S m^{2} mol^{-1}$

Relation between degree of dissociation and molar conductivity is as follows.

$\alpha = \frac{\Lambda_{m}}{\Lambda^{o}_{m}}$

= $\frac{5.07 \times 10^{-2} S m^{-1}}{4.043 \times 10^{-2} S m^{2} mol^{-1}}$

= 0.1254

Whereas relation between acid dissociation constant and degree of dissociation is as follows.

K = $\frac{c \times \alpha^{2}}{1 - \alpha}$

Putting the values into the above formula we get the following.

K = $\frac{c \times \alpha^{2}}{1 - \alpha}$

= $\frac{0.01 \times (0.1254)^{2}}{1 - 0.1254}$

= $0.017973 \times 10^{-2}$

= $1.7973 \times 10^{-4}$

Hence, the acid dissociation constant is $1.7973 \times 10^{-4}$ .

Also, relation between $pK_{a}$ and $K_{a}$ is as follows.

$pK_{a} = -log K_{a}$

= $-log (1.7973 \times 10^{-4})$

= 3.7454

Therefore, value of $pK_{a}$ is 3.7454.

The molar solubility of pbi2 is 1.5 103 m.

Vsevolod [243]

Answer: -

Concentration of PbI₂ = 1.5 x 10⁻³ M

PbI₂ dissociates in water as

PbI₂ ⇄ Pb²⁺ + 2 I⁻

So PbI₂ releases two times the amount of I⁻ as it's own concentration when saturated.

Thus the molar concentration of iodide ion in a saturated PbI₂ solution = [ I⁻] =

= 1.5 x 10⁻³ x 2 M

= 3 x 10⁻³ M

PbI₂ releases the same amount of Pb²⁺ as it's own concentration when saturated.

[Pb²⁺] = 1.5 x 10⁻³ M

So solubility product for PbI₂

Ksp = [Pb²⁺] x [ I⁻]²

=1.5 x 10⁻³ x (3 x 10⁻³)²

= 4.5 x 10⁻⁹
