<span>If a neutral atom becomes negatively charged, it has undergone reduction.

Reduction is the process through which a neutral atom gain an electron (thus reducing its oxidation number) and turns into a negative ion (also known as : anion)</span>

Describe the buffer capacity of the acetic acid buffer solution in relation to the addition of both concentrated and dilute acid
AysviL [449]

Answer:

The answer is in the explanation

Explanation:

Acetic acid, CH₃COOH, is a weak acid that will produce a buffer when its conjugate base, CH₃COO⁻, acetate ion, is added to the solution.

<em>That is because a buffer is the mixture of a weak acid and its conjugate base or vice versa.</em>

When an acid (HX) is added to the solution, the acetate ion will react producing acetic acid, thus:

CH₃COO⁻ + HX → CH₃COOH + X⁻

For this reason, the pH doesn't change abruptly because H⁺ ions are not produced.

Now, if a  base (BOH) is added to the buffer, CH₃COOH will react producing acetate ion and water, thus:

CH₃COOH + BOH → CH₃COO⁻ + H₂O + B⁺.

In the same way, there are not produced free OH⁻ and the pH doesn't change significantly.

Consider the decomposition of a metal oxide to its elements, where M represents a generic metal. M 3 O 4 ( s ) − ⇀ ↽ − 3 M ( s )
Citrus2011 [14]

Answer:

a) ΔGrxn = 6.7 kJ/mol

b) K = 0.066

c) PO2 = 0.16 atm

Explanation:

a) The reaction is:

M₂O₃ = 2M + 3/2O₂

The expression for Gibbs energy is:

ΔGrxn = ∑Gproducts - ∑Greactants

Where

M₂O₃ = -6.7 kJ/mol

M = 0

O₂ = 0

deltaG_{rxn} =((2*0)+(3/2*0))-(1*(-6.7))=6.7kJ/mol

b) To calculate the constant we have the following expression:

lnK=-\frac{deltaG_{rxn} }{RT}

Where

ΔGrxn = 6.7 kJ/mol = 6700 J/mol

T = 298 K

R = 8.314 J/mol K

lnK=-\frac{6700}{8.314*298} =-2.704\\K=0.066

c) The equilibrium pressure of O₂ over M is:

K=P_{O2} ^{3/2} \\P_{O2}=K^{2/3} =0.066^{2/3} =0.16atm

If you knew the number of valence electrons in a nonmetal atom how would you determine the valence of the element. (Ignore hydro
SIZIF [17.4K]

Answer:

The possible valances can be determined by electron configuration and electron negativity

Good Luck even though this was asked 2 weeks ago

Explanation:

All atoms strive for stability. The optima electron configuration is the electron configuration of the VIII A family or inert gases.

Look at the electron configuration of the nonmetal and how many more electrons the nonmetal needs to achieve the stable electron configuration of the inert gases. Non metals tend to be negative in nature and gain electrons. ( They are oxidizing agents)

For example Florine atomic number 9 needs one more electron to reach a valance number of 8 electrons to equal Neon atomic number 10. Hence Flowrine has a valance of -1

Oxygen atomic number 8 needs two more electrons to reach a valance number of 8 electrons to equal Neon atomic number 10. Hence Oxygen has a valance charge of -2.

Non metals with a low electron negativity will lose electrons when reacting with another non metal that has a higher electron negativity. When the non metal forms an ion it is necessary to look at the electron structure to determine how many electrons the element can lose to gain stability.

For example Chlorine which is normally -1 like Florine when it combines with oxygen can be +1, +3, + 5 or +7. It can lose its one unpaired electron, or combinations of the unpaired electron and sets of the three pairs of electrons.
