Which has the greater polarizing power, Li+ or Be2+ and why?

Chemistry
1 answer:
kvasek [131]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

Polarizing power refers to an atoms ability to pull an electron toward it, polarizing the atom the electron comes from. Since cations are positive, they are able to attract electrons toward themselves. Anions are negative and so do not attract more electrons.

Therefore, Be2+ has a higher polarizing power because it has a higher quantitiy of protons, hence a higher polarizing power.

Nh3 is a weak base (kb = 1.8 × 10–5 m) and so the salt nh4cl acts as a weak acid. what is the ph of a solution that is 0.013 m i
ankoles [38]
First, we need to get the value of Ka:

when Ka = Kw / Kb 

we have Kb = 1.8 x 10^-5 

and Kw = 3.99 x 10^-16  so, by substitution:

Ka = (3.99 x 10^-16) /  (1.8 x 10^-5) = 2.2 x 10^-11

by using the ICE table :

                 NH4+  + H2O →NH3 +  H+
intial          0.013                       0         0 

change       -X                          +X      +X

Equ        (0.013-X)                      X         X

when Ka = [NH3][H+] / [NH4+] 

by substitution:

2.2 x 10^-11 = X^2 / (0.013 - X)  by solving this equation for X

∴X = 5.35 x 10^-7

∴[H+] = X = 5.35 x 10^-7

∴PH = - ㏒[H+]
 
        = -㏒(5.35 x 10^-7)
        = 6.27
