Answer:

the weakest acid is B) HIO

Explanation:

pKa = - log Ka

the higher the value of pKa, the lower the dissociation, therefore, an acid will be stronger the lower its pKa.

a) HC2H3O2; Ka = 1.8 E-5

⇒ pKa1 = - Log (1.8 E-5) = 4.745

b) HIO;  Ka = 23 E-11

⇒ pKa2 = - Log ( 23 E-11 ) = 9.638

c) HBrO;  Ka = 23 E-9

⇒ pKa3 = - Log ( 23 E-9 ) = 7.638

d) HClO;  Ka = 2.9 E-8

⇒ pKa4 = - Log ( 2.9 E-8 ) = 7.537

e) HCO2H; Ka = 63 E-5

⇒ pKa5 = - Log ( 63 E-5 ) = 3.200

from the values pKa, we places the acids from the weakest to the least weak:

1) pKa2; HIO (weakest)

2) pKa3

3) pKa4

4) pKa1

5) pKa5

Give the meaning of each of the following symbols when used in a chemical equation.
nlexa [21]

Reaction arrows are used to describe the state or progress of a reaction. 2.1 The Chemical Reaction Arrow. The chemical reaction arrow is one straight arrow pointing from reactant(s) to product(s) and by-products, sometimes along with side products. A → B. It is the most widely used arrow.

Boron is a chemical element with the symbol B and atomic number 5. Produced entirely by cosmic ray spallation and supernovae and not by stellar nucleosynthesis, it is a low-abundance element in the Solar System and in the Earth's crust

The C5 (C5) fraction is a co-product of naphtha cracking and is used as a raw material for synthetic rubber and petroleum resins.

Deuterium

Deuterium is frequently represented by the chemical symbol D. Since it is an isotope of hydrogen with mass number 2, it is also represented by 2. H. .

Unimolecular Elimination (E1) is a reaction in which the removal of an HX substituent results in the formation of a double bond. It is similar to a unimolecular nucleophilic substitution reaction (SN1) in various ways. One being the formation of a carbocation intermediate.

Aqueous (aq.): In the presence of water, often meaning water is the solvent. Aqueous NaCl. Anhydrous NaCl.

Hydrogen is the chemical element with the symbol H and atomic number 1. ... Since hydrogen readily forms covalent compounds with most nonmetallic elements, most of the hydrogen on Earth exists in molecular forms such as water or organic compounds.

Catalyst, in chemistry, any substance that increases the rate of a reaction without itself being consumed. Enzymes are naturally occurring catalysts responsible for many essential biochemical reactions.

Kp is the equilibrium constant calculated from the partial pressures of a reaction equation. It is used to express the relationship between product pressures and reactant pressures. It is a unitless number, although it relates the pressures.

Cobalt-60 is produced by neutron activation. in this process, one neutron is absorbed by the nucleus of the parent isotope. what
kkurt [141]

The parent isotope is cobalt-59 (see the picture below).

The mass number is 59 and atomic number is 27 of the parent isotope.

Neutron activation is the process in which atomic nucleus capture free neutron or neutrons.

Cobalt-60  is produced in nuclear reactors in process of neutron activation from parent isotope cobalt-59 (see the picture below).

Atomic number (Z) is total number of protons and mass number (A) is total number of protons and neutrons in a nucleus.

Cobalt-59 and cobalt-60 are the isotopes of chemical element cobalt.

Isotopes are chemical elements with same atomic number (Z), but different mass number (different number of neutrons).

In which are the ionic solids ranked in order of increasing melting point?
abruzzese [7]

Answer:A

Explanation:

The melting points of solids depend in the relative sizes of ions in the ionic lattice. The smaller the relative sizes of the ions, the higher the lattice energy and the stronger the lattice hence higher melting point. Comparing relative ionic sizes, fluoride ion is lesser in size than chloride ion hence NaF has a higher melting point than NaCl.
