which term correctly describes all of the following materials (salt water,vinegar,bronze,air, beach sand

Which is the strongest acid listed in the table?

andrew11 [14]

Answer:

Hydrofluoric acid.

Explanation:

To know which of the acid is the strongest, let us determine the pka of each acid. This is illustrated below:

1. Acetic acid

Ka = 1.8x10^-5

pKa =..?

pKa = –logKa

pKa = –Log 1.8x10^-5

pKa = 4.74

2. Benzoic acid

Ka = 6.5x10^-5

pKa =..?

pKa = –logKa

pKa = –Log 6.5x10^-5

pKa = 4.18

3. Hydrofluoric acid.

Ka = 6.8x10^-4

pKa =..?

pKa = –logKa

pKa = –Log 6.8x10^-4

pKa = 3.17

4. Hypochlorous acid

Ka = 3.0x10^-8

pKa =..?

pKa = –logKa

pKa = –Log 3.0x10^-8

pKa = 7.52

Note: the smaller the pKa value, the stronger the acid.

The pka of the various acids as calculated above is given below:

Acid >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> pKa

1. Acetic acid >>>>>>>>>> 4.74

2. Benzoic acid >>>>>>>> 4.18

3. Hydrofluoric acid >>>> 3.17

4. Hypochlorous acid >> 7.52

From the above illustration, we can see that hydrofluoric acid has the lowest pKa value. Therefore, hydrofluoric acid is the strongest among them.

Why is Avogadro’s number referred to as a mole? If you could change this terminology, what would you change it to and why?

stepan [7]

The number of particles (molecules, atoms, compounds, etc.) per mole of a substances is known as Avagadro number. It is equal to 6.022×10^23 mol-1 and is expressed as NA.

Number of moles is the amount of a substance that contains as many particles as there are atoms in 12 grams of pure carbon-12. So, 1 mol contains 6.022×10^23 elementary entities of the substance. Since 6.022 x 10^23 is the Avagadro number, one mole is equal to Avagadro number.

One mole of a substance is the ratio of mass of the substance by the molecular mass of the substance. Thus the mass of one mole of a substance is equal to the substance's molecular weight. Thus one mole of a substance is the atomic mass unit of a substance and since one mole is equivalent to the Avagadro number,we can conclude that one Avagadro number is one atomic mass unit of the substance.

5. A gas has a pressure of 1.26 atm and occupies a volume of 7.40 L. If the gas

marin [14]

Answer:

0.499atm

Explanation:

The formula is

P1/V1 = P2/V2

so:

1.26atm/7.40L = P2/2.93L

then:

(1.26atm/7.40L)*2.93L = P2

= 0.4988918911atm

the answer must have 3 sig figs

A 4.36 g sample of an unknown alkali metal hydroxide is dissolved in 100.0 ml of water. an acid-base indicator is added and the

Fofino [41]

Answer:

(a) $102.6g/mol$

(b) Rubidium

Explanation:

Hello,

This titration is carried out by assuming that the volume of base doesn't have a significant change when the mass is added, thus, we state the following data a apply the down below formula to compute the molarity of the base solution:

$V_{base}=0.1L; M_{acid}=2.5M, V_{acid}=0.017L\\V_{base}M_{base}=V_{acid}M_{acid}$

Solving for the molarity of base we've got:

$M_{base}=\frac{M_{acid}*V_{acid}}{V_{base}}=\frac{2.50M*0.017L}{0.1L} =0.425M=0.425mol/L$

Now, we can compute the moles of the base as:

$n_{base}=0.425mol/L*0.1L=0.0425mol$

(a) Now, one divides the provided mass over the previously computed moles to get the molecular mass of the unknown base:

$\frac{4.36g}{0.0425mol} =102.6g/mol$

(b) Subtracting the atomic mass of oxygen and hydrogen, the metal's atomic mass turns out into:

$102.6g/mol-16g/mol-1g/mol=85.6g/mol$

So, that atomic mass dovetails to the Rubidium's atomic mass.

Best regards.
