The original concentration of the acid solution is 6.175 
10^-4 mol / L.
<u>Explanation:</u>
Concentration is the ratio of solute in a solution to either solvent or total solution. It is expressed in terms of mass per unit volume
HBr + NaOH -----> NaBr + H2O
There is a 1:1 equivalence with acid and base.
Moles of NaOH = 72.90 10^-3 0.25
= 0.0182 mol.
[ HBr ] = moles of base / volume of a solution
= 0.0182 / 29.47
= 6.175 10^-4 mol / L.
The equation that shows the formation of chromium (ii) ion from neutral chromium atom is as follow
Cr ---> cr^2+ + 2e-
Cr^2+ is the chromium ion with oxidation state of two which is one of the common ion of chromium. Other common ion of chromium include chromium of oxidation state 6 and 3
Answer: 250 kJ
Explanation: According to Hess’s law of constant heat summation, the heat absorbed or evolved in a given chemical equation is the same whether the process occurs in one step or several steps.
According to Hess’s law, the chemical equation can be treated as algebraic expressions and can be added or subtracted to yield the required equation. That means the enthalpy change of the overall reaction is the sum of the enthalpy changes of the intermediate reactions.

Adding 1 and 2 we get,

Now dividing equation (4) by 4, we get

The question requires us to explain the differences in radii of neutral atoms, cations and anions.
To answer this question, we need to keep in mind that a neutral atom presents the same number of protons (positive particles) and electrons (negative particles). Another important information is that the protons are located in the nucleus of the atom, while the electrons are around the nucleus. Also, there is an electrostatic force between protons and electrons, which means that they the protons tend to attract the electrons to the nucleus.
While a neutral atom presents the same number of protons and electrons, a cation is an ion with positive charge, which means it has lost one or more electrons. In a cation, the balance between protons and electrons doesn't exist anymore: now, there is more positive than negative charge (more protons than electrons), and the overall attractive force that the protons have for the electrons is increased. As a result, the electrons stay closer to the nucleus and the radius of a cation is smaller than the neutral atom from which it was derived.
On the other side, anions present negative charge, which means they have received electrons. Similarly to cations, the balance between protons and electrons doesn't exist anymore, but in this case, there are more electrons than protons. In an anion, the overall attractive force that the protons have for the electrons is decreased. As a result, the electrons are "more free" to move and, as they are not so attracted to the nucleus, they tend to stay farther from the positive nucleus compared to the neutral atom - because of this, the radius of an anion is larger than the neutral atom from which it was derived.
