Answer:

Kf = [[Hg(NH₃)₄]²⁺] / [Hg²⁺] [NH₃]⁴

Last step: [Hg(NH₃)₃]²⁺ + NH₃(aq) ⇄ [Hg(NH₃)₄]²⁺(aq)  

Explanation:

When the Hg²⁺ ion is in presence of ammonia molecules in an aqueous solution, the tetrahydrated complex is formed, following the equilibriums:

Hg²⁺(aq) + NH₃(aq) ⇄ [Hg(NH₃)]²⁺(aq)               K₁

[Hg(NH₃)]²⁺ + NH₃(aq) ⇄ [Hg(NH₃)₂]²⁺(aq)         K₂

[Hg(NH₃)₂]²⁺ + NH₃(aq) ⇄ [Hg(NH₃)₃]²⁺(aq)        K₃

<em>[Hg(NH₃)₃]²⁺ + NH₃(aq) ⇄ [Hg(NH₃)₄]²⁺(aq)   </em>     K₄ → Last step.

Global reaction is:

Hg²⁺(aq) + 4 NH₃(aq) ⇄ [Hg(NH₃)₄]²⁺(aq)

And Kf is defined as:

<em>Kf = [[Hg(NH₃)₄]²⁺] / [Hg²⁺] [NH₃]⁴</em>

A sample of paraffin wax undergoes the following change: C25H52(s) → C25H52(l)
nalin [4]

Answer:

Explanation:

(a) Answer: Intermolecular forces

The reason for this answer is because the substance (paraffin wax) only changed it's state from solid to liquid and didn't undergo a breakage in it's covalent bond within it's carbon chain which would have produced another substance.

(b) Solid substances are generally more dense than there corresponding liquid substances because the more compact particles are (which occurs in solids), the more dense they become. They are thus more dense than liquids because liquids have there particles loosely packed and well spaced making them less dense than there corresponding solids. Hence, the solid paraffin wax was going to become less dense because it's particles moved from being tightly packed (as solids) to being loosely packed (as liquids). Density refers to mass per volume but can also be described as the level of compactness of a substance. Thus, since liquid is not as compact as solid, it can be said to be less dense than solids.

Draw the structure of 2 methyl,but-3-ene
Maslowich

Answer:

Please find the structure attached as an image

Explanation:

Based on the characteristics ending name (-ene) of the organic compound above, it belongs to the ALKENE GROUP. Alkenes are characterized by the possession of a carbon to carbon double bond (C=C) in their structure.

- But-3-ene tells us that the organic compound has four straight carbon atoms with the C=C (double bond) located on the THIRD carbon depending on if we count from right to left or vice versa.

- 2 methyl indicates that the methyl group (-CH3) is located as an attachment on the second carbon (carbon 2).

N.B: In the structure attached below, the counting is from the left to right (→).
