<span> some elements have their outer electrons more tightly bound than others. Those who have less tightly bound electrons are more reactive. After this it gets more complex in explaining why they are bound with different strengths. </span>

<span> it has to do with how tightly held the most reactive electrons are  in general the closer the  valence electrons are to nucleus the more tightly it is held </span>

Formular:

atomic \: mass =  \frac{ \sum(isotopic \: mass \times \%abundance)}{100}  \\

substitute:

atomic \: mass =  \frac{(23.985 \times 78.70) + (24.986 \times 10.13) + (25.983 \times 11.17)}{100}  \\  \\  =  \frac{(1887.620) + (253.108) + (290.230)}{100}  \\  \\  =  \frac{2430.958}{100}  \\  \\ { \boxed{ \boxed{average \: atomic \: mass = 24.3 \: amu}}}

An unknown salt is either NaF, NaCl, or NaOCl. When 0.050 mol of the salt is dissolved in water to form 0.500 L of solution, the
victus00 [196]

<u>Answer:</u> The unknown salt is NaF

<u>Explanation:</u>

To calculate the molarity of solution, we use the equation:

\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}}{\text{Volume of solution (in L)}}

Moles of salt = 0.050 moles

Volume of solution = 0.500 L

Putting values in above equation, we get:

\text{Molarity of salt}=\frac{0.050mol}{0.500L}\\\\\text{Molarity of salt}=0.1M

  • To calculate the hydroxide ion concentration, we first calculate pOH of the solution, which is:

pH + pOH = 14

We are given:

pH = 8.08

pOH=14-8.08=5.92

  • To calculate pOH of the solution, we use the equation:

pOH=-\log[OH^-]

Putting values in above equation, we get:

5.92=-\log[OH^-]

[OH^-]=10^{-5.92}=1.202\times 10^{-6}M

The unknown salt given are formed by the combination of weak acid and strong acid which is NaOH

The chemical equation for the hydrolysis of X^- ions follows:

                    X^-(aq.)+H_2O(l)\rightleftharpoons HX(aq.)+OH^-(aq.);K_b

<u>Initial:</u>              0.1

<u>At eqllm:</u>        0.1-x                           x              x

Concentration of OH^-=x=1.202\times 10^{-6}M

The expression of K_b for above equation follows:

K_b=\frac{[OH^-][HX]}{[X^-]}

Putting values in above expression, we get:

K_b=\frac{(1.202\times 10^{-6})\times (1.202\times 10^{-6})}{(1-(1.202\times 10^{-6}))}\\\\K_b=1.445\times 10^{-11}M

  • To calculate the acid dissociation constant for the given base dissociation constant, we use the equation:  

K_w=K_b\times K_a

where,

K_w = Ionic product of water = 10^{-14}

K_a = Acid dissociation constant

K_b = Base dissociation constant = 1.445\times 10^{-11}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

10^{-14}=1.445\times 10^{-11}\times K_a\\\\K_a=\frac{10^{-14}}{1.445\times 10^{-11}}=6.92\times 10^{-4}

We know that:

K_a\text{ for HF}=6.8\times 10^{-6}

K_a\text{ for HCl}=1.3\times 10^{6}

K_a\text{ for HClO}=3.0\times 10^{-8}

So, the calculated K_a is approximately equal to the K_a of HF

Hence, the unknown salt is NaF

If 50.75 g of a gas occupies 10.0 L at STP, 129.3 g of the gas will occupy __________ L at STP.
Vlad [161]

If 50.75 g of a gas occupies 10.0 L at STP, 129.3 g of the gas will occupy 25.48 L at STP.

<h3>How to calculate volume?</h3>

The volume of a gas at STP can be calculated using the direct proportion method.

According to this question, 50.75 g of a gas occupies 10.0 L at STP, then 129.3g of the same gas will occupy the following:

= 129.3 × 10/50.75

= 25.48L

Therefore, if 50.75 g of a gas occupies 10.0 L at STP, 129.3 g of the gas will occupy 25.48 L at STP.

Which is a reactive nonmetal???
ololo11 [35]
Sodium is very reactive but it’s a metal, and the problem asks specifically for a non-metal.
Silicone is technically reactive, but not super reactive.
Argon is a nonmetal, however it is an inert gas. It doesn’t react with anything.

We’re left with Chlorine, which is a non-metal in group 7, a highly reactive group, on the periodic table.
