Which of the following ions has the largest radius? Br- S2- B3+ Mg2+ Li+
iren [92.7K]

Answer:

Br - has the largest radius

Explanation:

These ions each have achieved the nearest noble gas configuration. Br - has a like electron configuration to that of Krypton, S2- has a like electron configuration to that of Argon,  B3+ to Helium, Mg2+ to Neon, and Li+ to Helium.

_______________________________________________________

Traveling down a group, the radius tends to increase as atom gains another shell. Here we are comparing elements of like electron configuration to the noble gases Helium, Neon, Argon, Krypton. Krypton, being the last element present in the group out of the 4, has the greatest radius as it has the most shells. Thus, Br - has the largest radius.

Given a diprotic acid, H 2 A , with two ionization constants of K a1 = 3.0 × 10 − 4 and K a2 = 4.0 × 10 − 11 , calculate the pH
Flauer [41]

Answer:

The pH for a 0.117 M solution of NaHA is 2.227

Explanation:

To solve the question we check the difference in the Ka values thus

Ka₁ / Ka₂ = 7500000 < 10⁸ so we are required to calculate each value as follows

We therefore have

H₂X→ H⁺¹+HX⁻¹ with Ka₁ = 3.0 × 10⁻⁴

Therefore

3.0 × 10⁻⁴ = (x²)/(0.117)

x² = 3.0 × 10⁻⁴ ×0.117 and x = 5.925 × 10⁻³ = [H⁺]

Similarly

Ka₂ =  4.0 × 10⁻¹¹

and

4.0 × 10⁻¹¹= (x²)/(0.117)

x²= 0.117× 4.0 × 10⁻¹¹

x= 2.16× 10⁻⁶

Total H⁺ =  5.925 × 10⁻³+2.16× 10⁻⁶ = 5.927 × 10⁻³

Since pH = -log of hydrogen ion concentration,

pH = - log 5.927 × 10⁻³ = 2.227

All of the following are possible sources of error in a scientific investigation except for
lukranit [14]
The answer to this question should be 3. <span>adding research resources during an investigation 
</span>
The answer 1 and 2 are similar. Discovering a new variable mean that you wouldn't control it at the beginning of the research. It would be too late if you try to control it. Incorrect measurement definitely will cause an error.

How does temperature affect the vapor pressure of a liquid?
Mamont248 [21]

Answer:

As the temperature of a liquid increases, the kinetic energy of its molecules also increases. As the kinetic energy of the molecules increases, the number of molecules transitioning into a vapor also increases, thereby increasing the vapor pressure.
