Answer:

atoms tend to react in order to gain 8 valence electrons

Explanation:

The octet rule describes the tendency of atoms of elements to react in order to have eight electrons in their valence shell. This is because having eight valence electrons confers stability to the atoms of these elements in the compounds they form.

The octet rule only does not apply to the transition elements or the inner transition elements as only the s and p electrons are involved. the electronic configuration in atoms having an octet is s²p⁶.

For example, sodium atom has one valence electron in its valence shell but a complete octet in the inner shell; it will react with chlorine atom which has seven valence electrons to form a stable compound, sodium chloride by donating its one valence electron in order to have an octet. Similarly, the chlorine atom will then have an octet by accepting the one electron from sodium atom.

(1.) Using Beer's Law, How will the absorbance measured for the solutions change as the concentration of aspirin in solutions in
Vesnalui [34]

Answer:

(1) The absorbance of the aspirin in solutions will increase.

(2) [ASA]f = 3.79x10⁻⁴M

(3) [ASA]i = 3.79x10⁻³M

(4) m ASA = 0.171g

Explanation:

<u>The Beer's Law is expressed by:</u>

A = \epsilon \cdot l \cdot C (1)

<em>where A: is the absorbance of the species, ε: is the molar attenuation coefficient, l: is the pathlength and C: is the concentration of the species</em>

(1) <u>From </u><u>equation (1)</u><u>, the relation between the absorbance of the species and its concentration is directly proportional,</u> so if the aspirin concentration in solutions increases, the absorbance of the solutions will also increase.

(2) Starting in the given expression for the relationship between absorbance and concentration of ASA, we can calculate its concentration in the solution:

A = 1061.5 \cdot [ASA]    

[ASA] = \frac{A}{1061.5} = 3.79 \cdot 10^{-4}M

Therefore, the aspirin concentration in the solution is 3.79x10⁻⁴ M

(3) To calculate the stock solution concentration, we can use the next equation:

V_{i} [ASA]_{i} = V_{f} [ASA]_{f}

<em>where Vi: is the stock solution volume=10mL, Vf: is the solution diluted volume=100mL, [ASA]i: is the aspirin concentration of the stock solution and [ASA]f: is the aspirin concentration of the diluted solution</em>

[ASA]_{i} = \frac{V_{f} \cdot [ASA]_{f}}{V_{i}} = \frac {100mL \cdot 3.79\cdot 10^{-4} M}{10mL} = 3.79 \cdot 10^{-3} M

Hence, the concentration of the stock solution is 3.79x10⁻³M

(4) To determine the aspirin mass in the tablet, we need to use the following equation:

m_{ASA} = \eta_{ASA} \cdot M_{ASA} = [ASA]_{i} \cdot V_{0} \cdot M_{ASA}

<em>where η: is the aspirin moles = [ASA]i V₀, M: is the molar mass of aspirin=180.158g/mol, V₀: is the volume of the volumetric flask=250mL and [ASA]i: is the aspirin concentration in the volumetric flask which is equal to the stock solution=3.79x10⁻³M</em>

m_{ASA} = 3.79 \cdot 10^{-3} \frac{mol}{L} \cdot 0.250L \cdot 180.158 \frac{g}{mol} = 0.171 g  

Then, the aspirin mass in the tablet is 0.171 g.

I hope it helps you!

Without doing any calculations, determine which of the following solutions would be most acidic.
Murljashka [212]

Answer:

In the first combination neutralization takes place to give a salt. So, solution 'a' is neutral in nature.

In the solution 'c', both salts are resulted by the combination of weak base and strong acid. The combination of these salts suppresses the acidity.

In last combination basic nature is observed due to the presence of CN⁻ ions. Thus, the solution 'd' is basic in nature.

Out of the five given solutions, 0.0100 M in HF and 0.0100 M in KBr is most acidic.  Therefore, solution 'b' is most acidic in nature.
