Answer:

Atomic number 75 is dedicated to an element named rhenium and has been given Re as its chemical name.

Explanation:

With a really low concentration it is one of the rarest metals that is found in Earth's crust.

Like all other elements rhenium also has certain isotopes among with 185 and 187 are the most stable ones. Hence these two are the ones that are naturally available abundance is 34% and 63% respectively.

What volume of 0.307 m naoh must be added to 200.0ml of 0.425m acetic acid (ka = 1.75 x 10-5 ) to produce a buffer of ph = 4.250

Blababa [14]

The buffer solution target has a pH value smaller than that of pKw (i.e., pH < 7.) The solution is therefore acidic. It contains significantly more protons $\text{H}^{+}$ than hydroxide ions $\text{OH}^{-}$ . The equilibrium equation shall thus contain protons rather than a combination of water and hydroxide ions as the reacting species.

Assuming that $x \; \text{L}$ of the 0.307 $\text{mol} \cdot \text{dm}^{-3}$ sodium hydroxide solution was added to the acetic acid. Based on previous reasoning, $x$ is sufficiently small that acetic acid was in excess, and no hydroxide ion has yet been produced in the solution. The solution would thus contain $0.2000 \times 0.425 - 0.307 \; x = 0.085 - 0.307 \; x$ moles of acetic acid and $0.307 \; x$ moles of acetate ions.

Let $\text{HAc}$ denotes an acetic acid molecule and $\text{Ac}^{-}$ denotes an acetate ion. The RICE table below resembles the hydrolysis equilibrium going on within the buffer solution.

$\begin{array}{lccccc}\text{R} & \text{HAc} & \leftrightharpoons & \text{H}^{+} & + & \text{Ac}^{-}\\\text{I} & 0.085 - 0.307 \; x& & 0 & & 0.307 \; x\\\end{array}$

The buffer shall have a pH of 4.250, meaning that it shall have an equilibrium proton concentration of $10^{4.250}\; \text{mol}\cdot \text{dm}^{-3}$ . There were no proton in the buffer solution before the hydrolysis of acetic acid. Therefore the table shall have an increase of $10^{-4.250}\;\text{mol}\cdot \text{dm}^{-3}$ in proton concentration in the third row. Atoms conserve. Thus the concentration increase of protons by $10^{-4.250}\;\text{mol}\cdot \text{dm}^{-3}$ would correspond to a decrease in acetic acid concentration and an increase in acetate ion concentration by the same amount. That is:

$\begin{array}{lcccccc}\text{R} & \text{HAc} & \leftrightharpoons & \text{H}^{+} & + & \text{Ac}^{-}\\\text{I} & 0.085 - 0.307 \; x& & 0 & & 0.307 \; x\\\text{C} & - 10^{-4.250} & & +10^{-4.250} & & +10^{-4.250} \\\text{E} & 0.085 - 10^{-4.250} - 0.307 \; x& & 10^{-4.250} & & 10^{-4.250} + 0.307 \; x\end{array}$

By definition:

$\text{K}_{a} = [\text{H}^{+}] \cdot [\text{Ac}^{-}] / [\text{HAc}]\\\phantom{\text{K}_{a}} = 10^{-4.250} \times (10^{-4.250} + 0.307 \; x) / (0.085 - 10^{-4.250} - 0.307 \; x)$

The question states that

$\text{K}_{a} = 1.75 \times 10^{-5}$

such that

$10^{-4.250} \times (10^{-4.250} + 0.307 \; x) / (0.085 - 10^{-4.250} - 0.307 \; x) = 1.75 \times 10^{-5}\\6.16 \times 10^{-5} \; x = 1.48 \times 10^{-6}\\x = 0.0241$

Thus it takes $0.0241 \; \text{L}$ of sodium hydroxide to produce this buffer solution.

calcium has atomic number of 20 how many electrons of a calcium atom are involved in chemical bonding

Lelu [443]

The answer is 2 electrons.

The electron configuration of calcium is 2:8:8:2

Calcium has two electrons in its outermost shell. These are its valence electrons and are the ones used in bonding with other elements. Valence electrons of an atom are those electrons that are in its outer energy shell or that are available for bonding.

Calcium is a metal. When metals react with non-metals, electrons are transferred from the metal atoms to the non-metal atoms forming ions. The resulting compound is known as an ionic compound.

For example, when calcium metal reacts with chlorine gas, calcium gives up its two valence electrons and Chlorine accepts them resulting in a new substance called calcium chloride in which the two elements have ended up forming ionic bonds.

Nitric acid and nitrogen monoxide react to form nitrogen dioxide and water, like this: At a certain temperature, a chemist finds

poizon [28]

Answer:

K = 3.3

Explanation:

Nitric acid, HNO3, reacts with nitrogen monoxide, NO, to produce nitrogen dioxide, NO2 and water H2O as follows:

2HNO3(g) + NO(g) → 3NO2(g) + H2O(g)

Where equilibrium constant, K, is:

K = [NO2]³[H2O] / [HNO3]²[NO]

[] is the molar concentration of each species at equilibrium.

To solve this question we need to find molarity of each gas and replace these in the equation as follows:

[NO2] -Molar mass NO2-46.0g/mol-

18.6g * (1mol/46.0g) = 0.404mol / 7.7L = 0.0525M

[H2O] -Molar mass:18.01g/mol-

236.7g * (1mol/18.01g) = 13.14 moles / 7.7L = 1.707M

[HNO3] -Molar mass:53.01g/mol-

16.2g * (1mol/53.01g) = 0.3056 moles / 7.7L = 0.0397M

[NO] -Molar mass: 30.0g/mol-

11.0g * (1mol/30.0g) = 0.367 moles / 7.7L = 0.0476M

Replacing:

K = [NO2]³[H2O] / [HNO3]²[NO]

K = [0.0525M]³[1.707M] / [0.0397M]²[0.0476M]
