Why is it more accurate to say that the concentration of a solution of acetic acid is 0.01 f rather than 0.01 m?

Answer:

The formal concentration accounts for the moles of the original chemical formula into the solution rather than the concentration of the species that actually exist in solution which is accounted for by the molarity.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, the difference between formal and molar units of concentration  lies on the fact that the formal concentration accounts for the moles of the original chemical formula into the solution rather than the concentration of the species that actually exist in solution which is accounted for by the molarity. In such a way, since acetic acid is partially dissociated, formality better explains there are 0.01 moles of acetic acid added to the solution including both the non-dissociated and dissociated constituents. However, molarity just accounts for the 0.01 moles of acetic acid that could or could not have been dissociated into the solution.

As you see, this is just a by concept difference, as they lead to suitable calculations.

Best regards.

A 1 F solution stands 1 formula unit per litre and 0.01 F describes the concentration of solution with no deliberation for the real form of existence of species.

Molarity is defined as the ratio of moles of solute to the volume of solution in litres and it is used to describe formality. For accuracy, it is essential to expressed molarity of each species. In case of acetic acid, the molarity of acetic acid molecules is less than 0.01 M due to dissociation.

Thus, it is more precise to say that the concentration of a solution of acetic acid is 0.01 F instead of 0.01 M.

what is the balanced equation for the reaction of solid magnesium metal with oxygen gas to produce solid magnesium oxide
GaryK [48]

Answer:

2Mg + O₂ ⟶ 2MgO

Explanation:

Step 1. Start with the most complicated-looking formula (O₂?).

Put a 1 in front of it.

Mg + 1O₂ ⟶ MgO

Step 2. Balance O.

We have fixed 2 O on the left. We need 2O on the right. Put a 2 in front of MgO.

Mg + 1O₂ ⟶ 2MgO

Step 3. Balance Mg.

We have fixed 2 Mg on the right-hand side. We need 2 Mg atoms on the left. Put a 2 in front of Mg.

2Mg + 1O₂ ⟶ 2MgO

Every formula now has a coefficient. The equation should be balanced. Let’s check.

<u>Atom</u>  <u>On the left</u>  <u>On the righ</u>t

  Mg             2                  2

  O                2                  2

All atoms are balanced.

The balanced equation is

2Mg + O₂ ⟶ 2MgO

Assign an oxidation number to each atom in the products.
Rzqust [24]
<h3>Answer:</h3>

Oxidation number refers to a number given to an atom which shows the number of number of electrons lost (or gained, if the number is negative), by an atom of that element in the compound.

Hence oxidation number of following atoms in given reaction are:

In NaOH:

Na = +1

O = -2

H = +1

In H2:

H = 0
