In an aqueous solution, 42% of a substance dissociates to release hydronium ions. Which of the following statements is true for

const2013 [10]

Answer: The statement it is a weak acid is true for the substance.

Explanation:

An acid that dissociates completely when dissolved in water to give hydrogen $(H^{+})$ or hydronium $(H_{3}O^{+})$ ions is called a strong acid.

For example, HCl is a strong acid.

$HCl + H_{2}O \rightarrow H_{3}O^{+} + Cl^{-}$

An acid that dissociates partially or weakly when dissolved in water to given hydrogen or hydronium ions is called a weak acid.

For example, $CH_{3}COOH$ is a weak acid.

$CH_{3}COOH \rightleftharpoons CH_{3}COO^{-} + H_{3}O^{+}$

A strong base is a base which when dissolved in water then it dissociates completely to give hydroxide ions.

For example, NaOH is a strong acid.

A weak base is a base which when dissolved in water then it dissociates partially or weakly to give hydroxide ions.

For example, $NH_{3}$ is a weak base.

Hence, in an aqueous solution where 42% of a substance dissociates to release hydronium ions shows that the dissociation is less than 50%. This means that substance is dissociating weakly so, it is a weak acid.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement it is a weak acid is true for the substance.

Which element would mostly have chemical properties similar to that of magnesium (Mg)?

DanielleElmas [232]

The elements of same group are placed in same group as they have similar properties. So Calcium is the element which resembles Mangesium.

Calcium and Magnesium both are alkaline earth metals.

They have similar properties as they have similar outer or valence shell electronic configuration

The general electronic configuration of alkaline earht metal is ns2

The electronic configuration of Mg [atomic number 12] and Ca [atomic number 20] are

$[Ne]3s^{2}$ and $[Ar]4s^{2}$ respectively.

What are the empirical and molecular formulas of a hydrocarbon if combustion of 2.10 g of the compound yields 6.59 g co2 and 2.7

mariarad [96]

The empirical formula of hydrocarbon is CH2

The molecular formula of the hydrocarbon is C6H12

Explanation

Hydrocarbon is made up of carbon and hydrogen

<h3> Empirical formula calculation</h3>

Step 1: find the moles CO2 and H2O

moles =mass/molar mass

moles of CO2 = 6.59 g/ 44 g/mol = 0.15 moles

moles of H2O = 2.70 g / 18 g/mol = 0.15 moles

Step 2: Find the moles ratio of Co2:H2O by diving each mole by smallest mole(0.15)

that is for CO2 = 0.15/0.15 =1

For H2O = 0.15/0.15 =1

therefore the mole ratio of Co2 : H2O = 1:1 which implies that 1 mole of Co2 and 1 mole of H2O is formed during combustion reaction.

From the the law of mass conservation the number of atoms in reactant side must be equal to number of atoms in product side

therefore since there 1 atom of C in product side there must be 1 atom of C in reactant side.

In addition there is 2 H atom in product side which should be the same in reactant side.

From information above the empirical formula is therefore = CH2

Molecular formula calculation

[CH2}n= 84 g/mol

[12+ (1x2)] n = 84 g/mol

14 n = 84 g/mol

n = 6

multiply the each subscript in CH2 by 6

Therefore the molecular formula = C6H12
