Which is the reason that ionic compounds are brittle? The bonds between the anions and cations are weak and therefore easily bro

ken. A strong repulsive force is created when cations suddenly align. They involve positive metal ions in a sea of delocalized electrons. They share electrons, which makes the bond brittle.

Well ionic compounds are brittle because similar charges repel, which causes them to break usually occurring when a force is applied, like a hammer strike.

At 25 °c, what is the hydroxide ion concentration, [oh–], in an aqueous solution with a hydrogen ion concentration of [h ] = 3.0
chubhunter [2.5K]

As,

Water has a pkw=14

so it can be represented as,

[H+] [OH-] = 1*10^-14

If [H+] = 3*10^-5M

[OH-] = (1*10^-14) / ( 3*10^-5)

[OH-] = 3.3*10^-9 M

A diver exhales a bubble with a volume of 250 mL at a pressure of 2.4 atm and a temperature of 15 °C. What is the volume of the
alexdok [17]

Answer : The volume of the bubble is, 625 mL

Explanation :

Combined gas law is the combination of Boyle's law, Charles's law and Gay-Lussac's law.

The combined gas equation is,

\frac{P_1V_1}{T_1}=\frac{P_2V_2}{T_2}

where,

P_1 = initial pressure of gas = 2.4 atm

P_2 = final pressure of gas = 1.0 atm

V_1 = initial volume of gas = 250 mL

V_2 = final volume of gas = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of gas = 15^oC=273+15=288K

T_2 = final temperature of gas = 27^oC=273+27=300K

Now put all the given values in the above equation, we get:

\frac{2.4atm\times 250mL}{288K}=\frac{1.0atm\times V_2}{300K}

V_2=625mL

Therefore, the volume of the bubble is, 625 mL
