It's letter C. When ever you read "breaks down" always think decomposition. When you read that compound get together to form "a single" compound, think synthesis.

For which of the following elements would the most common ion be expected to have a larger radius than that of its corresponding

Andre45 [30]

<u>Answer:</u> The ion that is expected to have a larger radius than the corresponding atom is chlorine.

<u>Explanation:</u>

There are two types of ions:

<u>Cations:</u> They are formed when an atom looses its valence electrons. They are positive ions.
<u>Anions:</u> They are formed when an atom gain electrons in its outermost shell. They are negative ions.

For positive ions, the removal of electron increases the nuclear charge for an outermost electron because the outermost electrons are more strongly attracted by the nucleus. So, the effective nuclear charge increases for cations and thus, the size of the cation will be smaller than that of the corresponding atom.

For negative ions, the addition of electron decreases the nuclear charge for an outermost electron because the outermost electrons are less strongly attracted by the nucleus. So, the effective nuclear charge decreases for anions and thus, the size of the anion will be larger than that of the corresponding atom.

For the given options:

<u>Option a:</u> Chlorine

Chlorine gains 1 electron and form $Cl^-$ ion

<u>Option b:</u> Sodium

Sodium looses 1 electron and form $Na^+$ ion

<u>Option c:</u> Copper

Copper looses 2 electrons and form $Cu^{2+}$ ion

<u>Option d:</u> Strontium

Strontium looses 2 electrons and form $Sr^{2+}$ ion

Hence, the ion that is expected to have a larger radius than the corresponding atom is chlorine.

Calculate the ph of a dilute solution that contains a molar ratio of potassium acetate to acetic acid (pka ???? 4.76) of (a) 2:1

givi [52]

According to Hasselbach-Henderson equation:

$pH=pK_{a}+log\frac{[A^{-}]}{[HA]}$

Here, $[A^{-}]$ is concentration of conjugate base and [HA] is concentration of acid.

In the given problem, conjugate base is $CH_{3}COOK$ and acid is $CH_{3}COOH$ thus, Hasselbach-Henderson equation will be as follows:

$pH=pK_{a}+log\frac{[CH_{3}COOK]}{[CH_{3}COOH]}$ ...... (1)

(a) Ratio of concentration of potassium acetate and acetic acid is 2:1 thus,

$\frac{[CH_{3}COOK]}{[CH_{3}COOH]}=2$

Also, $pK_{a}=4.76$

Putting the values in equation (1),

$pH=4.76+log\frac{2}{1}=5.06$

Therefore, pH of solution is 5.06.

(b) Ratio of concentration of potassium acetate and acetic acid is 1:3 thus,

$\frac{[CH_{3}COOK]}{[CH_{3}COOH]}=\frac{1}{3}$

Also, $pK_{a}=4.76$

Putting the values in equation (1),

$pH=4.76+log\frac{1}{3}=4.28$

Therefore, pH of solution is 4.28.

(c)Ratio of concentration of potassium acetate and acetic acid is 5:1 thus,

$\frac{[CH_{3}COOK]}{[CH_{3}COOH]}=\frac{5}{1}$

Also, $pK_{a}=4.76$

Putting the values in equation (1),

$pH=4.76+log\frac{5}{1}=5.45$

Therefore, pH of solution is 5.45.

(d) Ratio of concentration of potassium acetate and acetic acid is 1:1 thus,

$\frac{[CH_{3}COOK]}{[CH_{3}COOH]}=1$

Also, $pK_{a}=4.76$

Putting the values in equation (1),

$pH=4.76+log\frac{1}{1}=4.76$

Therefore, pH of solution is 4.76.

(e) Ratio of concentration of potassium acetate and acetic acid is 1:10 thus,

$\frac{[CH_{3}COOK]}{[CH_{3}COOH]}=\frac{1}{10}$

Also, $pK_{a}=4.76$

Putting the values in equation (1),

$pH=4.76+log\frac{1}{10}=3.76$

Therefore, pH of solution is 3.76.

What is the charge on an atom after it loses an electron during the formation of a bond?

NARA [144]

Answer:

One positive charge

Explanation:

In a neutral atom, the number of positive and negative particles are equal. This leaves the atom with a net charge of zero, 0.

When the number of protons in an atom is greater than the number of electrons, the atom becomes positively charged. When an atom loses an electron when a bond wants to form, it has a net positive charge.

The number of electrons lost or gained determines the charge.
