Ca-Cl is an ionic bond. We know this because the difference between their electronegativities is 2.16.The electronegativity tells us which atom will attract the electron more than the other. Hence, chlorine attracts the electron a lot more than the calcium.A difference of more than 1.6 (or 1.7 depending on the source) implies that the electrons are so unevenly shared, that the bond is ionic, rather than polar covalent.

What do elements in a same group share
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

The elements in each group have the same number of electrons in the outer orbital. Those outer electrons are also called valence electrons. They are the electrons involved in chemical bonds with other elements. Every element in the first column (group one) has one electron in its outer shell.

If the molar heat of combustion of liquid benzene at constant volume and 300k is -3272KJ. Calculate the heat of combustion at co
vladimir2022 [97]

Answer:

The heat at constant pressure is -3,275.7413 kJ

Explanation:

The combustion equation is 2C₆H₆ (l) + 15O₂ (g)  → 12CO₂ (g) + 6H₂O (l)

\Delta n_g = (12 - 15)/2 = -3/2

We have;

\Delta H = \Delta U + \Delta n_g\cdot R\cdot T

Where R and T are constant, and ΔU is given we can write the relationship as follows;

H = U + \Delta n_g\cdot R\cdot T

Where;

H = The heat at constant pressure

U = The heat at constant volume = -3,272 kJ

\Delta n_g = The change in the number of gas molecules per mole

R = The universal gas constant = 8.314 J/(mol·K)

T = The temperature = 300 K

Therefore, we get;

H = -3,272 kJ + (-3/2) mol ×8.314 J/(mol·K) ×300 K) × 1 kJ/(1000 J) = -3,275.7413 kJ

The heat at constant pressure, H = -3,275.7413 kJ.

What is the % dissociation of a solution of acetic acid if at equilibrium the solution has a pH = 4.74 and a pKa = 4.74?
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

\% diss = 50\%

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, when considering weak acids which have an associated percent dissociation, we first need to set up the ionization reaction and the equilibrium expression:

HA\rightleftharpoons H^++A^-\\\\Ka=\frac{[H^+][A^-]}{[HA]}

Now, by introducing x as the reaction extent which also represents the concentration of both H+ and A-, we have:

Ka=\frac{x^2}{[HA]_0-x} =10^{-4.74}=1.82x10^{-5}

Thus, it is possible to find x given the pH as shown below:

x=10^{-pH}=10^{-4.74}=1.82x10^{-5}M

So that we can calculate the initial concentration of the acid:

\frac{(1.82x10^{-5})^2}{[HA]_0-1.82x10^{-5}} =1.82x10^{-5}\\\\\frac{1.82x10^{-5}}{[HA]_0-1.82x10^{-5}} =1\\\\

[HA]_0=3.64x10^{-5}M

Therefore, the percent dissociation turns out to be:

\% diss=\frac{x}{[HA]_0}*100\% \\\\\% diss=\frac{1.82x10^{-5}M}{3.64x10^{-5}M}*100\% \\\\\% diss = 50\%

Best regards!
