Propose a reason why very few 2+ ions are formed in a mass spectrometer

Chemistry
1 answer:
TEA [102]3 years ago
5 0
A mass spectrometer is a machine that measures the mass of different substances by ionizing them and determining their paths in magnetic and electric fields. Few 2+ ions are created in a mass spectrometer because it is difficult to remove an electron from an ion that is already positive. It requires a lot more energy to accomplish this feat so it rarely happens in the process.

A chemistry graduate student is given of a chlorous acid solution. Chlorous acid is a weak acid with . What mass of should the s
DerKrebs [107]

Answer:

11.31g NaClO₂

Explanation:

<em> Is given 250mL of a 1.60M chlorous acid HClO2 solution. Ka is 1.110x10⁻². What mass of NaClO₂ should the student dissolve in the HClO2 solution to turn it into a buffer with pH =1.45? </em>

It is possible to answer this question using Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:

pH = pKa + log₁₀ [A⁻] / [HA]

<em>Where pKa is -log Ka = 1.9547; [A⁻] is the concentration of the conjugate base (NaClO₂), [HA] the concentration of the weak acid</em>

You can change the concentration of the substance if you write the moles of the substances:

[Moles HClO₂] = 250mL = 0.25L×(1.60mol /L) = <em>0.40 moles HClO₂</em>

Replacing in H-H expression, as the pH you want is 1.45:

1.45 = 1.9547 + log₁₀ [Moles NaClO₂] / [0.40 moles HClO₂]

-0.5047 = log₁₀ [Moles NaClO₂] / [0.40 moles HClO₂]

<em>0.3128 = </em>[Moles NaClO₂] / [0.40 moles HClO₂]

0.1251 = Moles NaClO₂

As molar mass of NaClO₂ is 90.44g/mol, mass of 0.1251 moles of NaClO₂ is:

0.1251 moles NaClO₂ ₓ (90.44g / mol) =

What is force? Why?​
larisa [96]
In physics, a force is any interaction that, when unopposed, will change the motion of an object. A force can cause an object with mass to change its velocity to accelerate. Force can also be described intuitively as a push or a pull. A force has both magnitude and direction, making it a vector quantity.

What new evidence led scientists to change their minds about the geocentric model?
IRISSAK [1]

Galileo disproved the Ptolemaic theory, sanctioned for centuries by the Church, which held the Earth to be the central and principal object in the universe, about which all celestial objects orbited.
