HCl is a strong acid and so dissociates fully in water:
HCl(aq) --> H+(aq) + Cl-(aq)
Since there is a 1:1 mole ratio between HCl and H+ in this reaction, the number of moles of H+ = number of moles of HCl. The number of moles of HCl can be calculated as moles = mass/RMM = 0.80g / 36.5g/mol = 0.022mol.
Since 5.5 l  of solution is made, the concentration of H+ is:
[H+] = 0.022mol / 5.5l = 0.004M. This can then be used to calculate pH through the equation pH = -log[H+] = -log(0.004) = 2.40

Identify the compound with the smallest percent ionic character. identify the compound with the smallest percent ionic character
rosijanka [135]
<span> I'll try. A purely ionic bond, as the name implies is a bond between ions. If that sounds like double-talk it's because some ionic compounds are more ionic than others. A purely covalent compound is one in which the electrons are shared EQUALLY. It turns out that the only compounds in which the electrons are shared equally is one in which both atoms sharing the electrons are of the same element. For example O2, N2, Cl2, I2 or F2. Now suppose you make a compound between Fluorine and Iodine, IF. Since fluorine has a greater attraction for electrons than iodine, the bond will be polar. That is the fluorine part of the molecule will be negative and the iodine part will be positive. The attraction for electrons isn't equal. The same thing happens with ionic bonds. In your first question, the ionic character decreases from NaF through SiF4. Sodium loses an electron quite readily because it achieves a stable neon like configuration. Fluorine attracts an electron very strongly for the same reason. But as you move across the period, two things are happening. First, look at SiF4. Silicon is right in the middle of the period, It can achieve a stable inert gas configuration either by gaining 4 or losing 4 electrons. So it depends upon the electronegativity (the electron grabbing ability) of the atom it's combining with. Since Fluorine has the highest electron grabbing ability of any of the reactive elements, it will tend to pull the electrons away from silicon. But silicon doesn't completely give them up as it would in a purely ionic compound. AlF3 is similar but will tend to give up 3 electrons a little easier than SiF4. MgF2 is even more ionic because it's approaching an inert gas configuration and only need to lose 2 electrons. Can you see what's happening? The closer you get to the middle of a period, the less likely an atom is to give up COMPLETELY its electrons. In question 2 your answer is CO. The elements are close together (which means that their electronic structure is similar) and carbon, like silicon is in the middle of the period so its more likely to share electrons than it is to give them up (form an ionic bond). So it turns out that most chemical bonds are neither completely ionic or covalent but lie in between the two extremes and are called polar covalent. I hope this helps.</span>

Pickles and lemons have a sour taste. what types of substances are in pickles to give them this sour taste
postnew [5]
The taste of Acid is Sour, that of Base is Bitter and salt is salty. So, Pickle and Lemons give sour taste due to presence of Acids. The sour taste of Lemon is due to presence of Citric Acid in it. While the sour taste of Pickle is due to presence of Vinegar (5% Acetic Acid Solution). Vinegar is mainly used to prevent the Pickle from Bacterial Attack.

Aluminum chloride, AlCl3, is an inexpensive reagent used in many industrial processes. It is made by treating scrap aluminum wit
mylen [45]

Answer:

83.8%

Explanation:

The balanced reaction equation is;

2Al(s) + 3Cl2(g) → 2AlCl3(s)

Now we have to obtain the limiting reactant as the reactant that produces the least amount of AlCl3

Amount of Al = 3.11g/27 g/mol = 0.115 moles

If 2 moles of Al yields 2 moles of  AlCl3

Then 0.115 moles of Al yields 0.115 moles of  AlCl3

For Cl2

Amount of Cl2 = 5.32 g/71 g/mol= 0.075 moles

If 3 moles of Cl2 yields 2 moles of  AlCl3

0.075 moles of Cl2 yields 0.075   * 2/3 = 0.05 moles of  AlCl3

Hence Cl2 is the limiting reactant

Theoretical yield of  AlCl3 = 0.05 moles of  AlCl3 * 133g/mol = 6.65 g

%yield = actual yield /theoretical yield * 100

%yield = 5.57 g/6.65 g * 100

%yield = 83.8%

The activation energy for the isomerization ol cyclopropane to propene is 274 kJ/mol. By what factor does the rate of this react
Bond [772]

Answer:

The rate of the reaction increased by a factor of 1012.32

Explanation:

Applying Arrhenius equation

ln(k₂/k₁) = Ea/R(1/T₁ - 1/T₂)

where;

k₂/k₁ is the ratio of the rates which is the factor

Ea is the activation energy = 274 kJ/mol.

T₁ is the initial temperature = 231⁰C = 504 k

T₂ is the final temperature = 293⁰C = 566 k

R is gas constant = 8.314 J/Kmol

Substituting this values into the equation above;

ln(k₂/k₁) = 274000/8.314(1/504 - 1/566)

ln(k₂/k₁) = 32956.4589 (0.00198-0.00177)

ln(k₂/k₁)  = 6.92

k₂/k₁ = exp(6.92)

k₂/k₁ = 1012.32

The rate of the reaction increased by 1012.32
