Which one of the following solutions will have the greatest concentration of hydroxide ions?
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

e = 0.250 M calcium hydroxide

it will produce 0.5 M [OH⁻].

Explanation:

A = 0.100 M HCl

HCl is an acid it would produce negligible amount of OH⁻.

B = 0.100 M magnesium hydroxide

Mg(OH)₂ + H₂O → Mg²⁺ + 2OH⁻

The ration of Mg(OH)₂  and OH⁻ is 1:2.

[OH⁻] = 2× 0.100 = 0.200 M

C =0.100 M ammonia

NH₃ + H₂O → NH₄OH → NH₄⁺ + OH⁻

The Kb expression will be written as,

Kb = [NH₄⁺] [OH⁻] / [NH₃]

Kb = 1.8 ×10 ⁻⁵

Now we will put the values:

1.8 ×10 ⁻⁵ = [NH₄⁺] [OH⁻] / 0.100

[NH₄⁺] [OH⁻]  = x²

1.8 ×10 ⁻⁵ = x² / 0.100

x² = 1.8 ×10 ⁻⁵ × 0.100

x² =  1.8  × 10 ⁻⁶

x = 1.34 × 10 ⁻³

[OH⁻] = 1.34 × 10 ⁻³ M

d = 0.300 M rubidium hydroxide

RbOH + H₂O    →     Rb⁺ + OH⁻

The ratio of RbOH  and OH⁻ is 1:1.

[OH⁻] = 0.300 M

e = 0.250 M calcium hydroxide

Ca(OH)₂ + H₂O → Ca²⁺ + 2OH⁻

The ration of Ca(OH)₂  and OH⁻ is 1:2.

[OH⁻] = 2× 0.250 = 0.5 M

Why are oxidation numbers assigned to the elements before writing a chemical formula
Sergeu [11.5K]

Answer:

Oxidation numbers assign ownership of the electrons to one atom or another in a compound. ... Scientists use these numbers to help name compounds, write formulas and balance chemical equations. They are also useful when studying reactions and they can help you identify when something is oxidized or reduced.

sodium reacts with chlorine to form sodium chloride, explain how in terms of electrons, atoms and ions
OverLord2011 [107]
Sodium is in group 1 so it has 1 valence electron (one electron in its outer shell). Sodium will be looking to lose its one valence electron in order to become more stable. Chlorine is in group 17 so it has 7 valence electrons, and therefor only needs to gain one valence electron to attain noble gas electron configuration (become stable with 8 valence electrons, just like the noble gases in group 18 have 8). Because the chlorine atom is trying to gain one electron, and the sodium atom is trying to lose one, sodium will give up its one valence electron to chlorine and the two atoms will form an ionic bond. Because chlorine is looking to gain just one electron and sodium is looking to lose the same number, the ratio of chlorine atoms to sodium atoms will be 1:1, one chlorine atom per one sodium atom.
