Complete Question:

Ions to calculate the p-values: Na⁺, Cl⁻, and NH₄⁺

Answer:

pNa = 0.307

pCl = 0.093

pNH₄ = 0.503

Explanation:

The p-value is calculated by the antilog of the concentration of the substance of interest. For example, pH = -log[H⁺]. Thus, first, let's find the ions concentration.

Both substances are salts that solubilize completely, thus, by the solution reactions:

NaCl → Na⁺ + Cl⁻

NH₄Cl → NH₄⁺ + Cl⁻

So, for both reactions the stoichiometry is 1:1:1 and the concentration of the ions is equal to the concentration of the salts.

[Na⁺] = 0.493 M

[Cl⁻] = 0.493 + 0.314 = 0.807 M

[NH₄⁺] = 0.314 M

The p-values are:

pNa = -log[Na⁺] = -log(0.493) = 0.307

pCl = -log[Cl⁻] = -log(0.807) = 0.093

pNH₄ = -log[NH₄⁺] = -log(0.314) = 0.503

What is the concentration of hydronium ion in a 0.121 M HCl solution?

kogti [31]

Answer:

C) 0.121 M

Explanation:

HCl + H₂O = H₃O⁺ + OH⁻

.121M .121M

HCl is a strong acid . It will dissociate almost 100 % so the concentration of acid and hydronium ion formed will be equal . It is to be noted that hydronium ion is formed due to association of H⁺ and H₂O . H⁺ is formed due to ionisation of HCl .

So concentrtion of hydronium ion ( H₃O⁺ ) will be .121 M.

The lattice energy of a salt is related to the energy required to separate the ions. For which of the following pairs of ions is

Kay [80]

Answer: The Lattice energy is the energy required to separate an ionic solid into its component gaseous ions or

It is the energy released when gaseous ions combine to form an ionic solid.

Explanation:

The lattice energy depends on the ionization energies and electron affinities of atoms involved in the formation of the compound. The ionization energies and electron affinities also depends on the ionic radius and charges of the ions involved. As the ionic radius for cations increases down the groups, ionization energy decreases, whereas, as ionic radii decreases across the periods , ionization energy increases. The trend observed for anions is that as ionic radii increase down the groups, electron affinity decreases. Across the period, as ionic radii increases electron affinity increases. Also, as the charge on the ion increases, it leads to an increase in energy requirement/content.

Therefore, for compounds formed from cations and anions in the same period, the highest charged cation and anion will have the highest lattice energy. For example, among the following compounds: Al2O3 (aluminium oxide), AlCl3 (aluminium chloride), MgO, MgCl2 (magnesium chloride), NaCl, Na2O (sodium oxide); Al2O3(aluminium oxide) will have the highest lattice energy, thus will be hardest to break apart because its ions have the highest charge.

Describe one benefit and one drawback of using models to represent scientific processes?

AURORKA [14]

Among the benefits; enlarging so that you can see it visually, making something complex and hard to understand to simplify it. One draw back is that not entirely accurate because it is basic. Additionally; models help us to visualize smaller structures that are too small to see properly. However; they do not take all variables into account and thus they may be inaccurate.
