Chemistry

vlada-n [284]4 years ago
6 0

Answer:

\boxed{\text{c. Neither a nor b is correct}}

Explanation:

A buffer pair consists of either

  • A weak acid and its salt or
  • A weak base and its salt

(a) Oxalic acid and sodium oxalate

\rm H$_2$C$_2$O$_4$ + Li$_2$C$_2$O$_4$ \longrightarrow \, $2LiHC$_2$O$_4$

Oxalic acid is an acid and lithium acid is a base. Together, they will neutralise each other and form the salt LiHC₂O₄.

A solution of LiHC₂O₄ is not a buffer.

The correct buffer pair is H₂C₂O₄ and LiHC₂O₄

(b) Carbonic acid and sodium carbonate

\rm H$_2$CO$_3$ + Na$_2$CO$_3$ $\longrightarrow \,$ 2NaHCO$_3$

The carbonic acid and the sodium carbonate will neutralise each other and form the salt NaHCO₃.

A solution of NaHCO₃ is not a buffer.

The correct buffer pair is H₂CO₃ and NaHCO₃

\boxed{\textbf{Neither a nor b is correct}}

The electron configurations of two unknown elements X and Y are shown.
Svetllana [295]

 X: 1S²2S²2P⁶

Y: 1S²2S²2P⁶3S²3P⁶

The statement  which  is most likely   correct  about  the two elements  is

They  will  not react  because  both  have a complete outermost shell and are  stable.


 <u><em>Explanation</em></u>

  The  P orbital can   hold a maximum  of   6  electrons,therefore the 2P orbital for x  and  3P  orbital  for  Y   which are  outermost  subshell  are  fully filled .


This make   element Y and x  stable  since they  cannot  react either by gaining or losing electrons.

What term expresses the ratio of moles of reactants and products according to the coefficients in the balanced chemical equation
bogdanovich [222]

Answer:

A) mole ratio

Explanation:            

<em>A mole ratio</em>, also known as a mole-to-mole ratio, <em>is ​the ratio between the amounts in moles of one reactant/product to the moles of the other reactant/product. </em>This ratio is determined considering the coefficients in a balanced chemical equation. This ratio is used in chemical problems as a conversion factor between the compounds involved in the reaction.

How can nuclear energy be converted in electrical energy
DaniilM [7]

Answer:

A clean energy resource

Nuclear energy originates from the splitting of uranium atoms – a process called fission. This generates heat to produce steam, which is used by a turbine generator to generate electricity. Because nuclear power plants do not burn fuel, they do not produce greenhouse gas emissions.
