Flame colors are produced from the movement of the electrons in the metal ions present in the compounds. When you heat it, the electrons gain energy and can jump into any of the empty orbitals at higher levels Each of these jumps involves a specific amount of energy being released as light energy, and each corresponds to a particular color. As a result of all these jumps, a spectrum of colored lines will be produced. The color you see will be a combination of all these individual colors.

You are given two unknown acids, HX and H2Y, and two values for Ka, 1x10^-7 and 1x10^9. You know that X is a much more electrone
Elena L [17]

Answer:

.

Explanation

In HX , X is more electronegative than Y so HX will ionise more because of  ionic bond between H and X . On the other hand H₂Y will be less polar as compared to HX so it will ionise to a lesser extent . Hence Ka will be more for HX . Ka represents the degree of ionisation of acid . Higher the ionisation , higher is the value of Ka . H₂Y which is less polar will ionise less and hence it will have lesser value of Ka .

Hence H₂Y will have value of 10⁻⁷ and HX will have value of ka equal to 10⁹ .

A 30.7 g sample of Strontium nitrate, Sr(NO3)2•nH2O, is heated to a constant mass of 22.9 g. Calculate the hydration number.
Elodia [21]

Answer:

  • <em>Hydration number:</em> 4

Explanation:

<u>1) Mass of water in the hydrated compound</u>

Mass of water = Mass of the hydrated sample - mass of the dehydrated compound

Mass of water = 30.7 g - 22.9 g = 7.8 g

<u>2) Number of moles of water</u>

  • Number of moles = mass in grams / molar mass

  • molar mass of H₂O = 2×1.008 g/mol + 15.999 g*mol = 18.015 g/mol

  • Number of moles of H₂O = 7.9 g / 18.015 g/mol = 0.439 mol

<u>3) Number of moles of Strontium nitrate dehydrated, Sr (NO₃)₂</u>

  • The mass of strontium nitrate dehydrated is the constant mass obtained after heating = 22.9 g

  • Molar mass of Sr (NO₃)₂ :  211.63 g/mol (you can obtain it from a internet or calculate using the atomic masses of each element from a periodic table).

  • Number of moles of Sr (NO₃)₂ = 22.9 g / 211.63 g/mol =  0.108 mol

<u>4) Ratio</u>

  • 0.439 mol H₂O / 0.108 mol Sr(NO₃)₂ ≈  4 mol H₂O : 1 mol Sr (NO₃)₂

Which means that the hydration number is 4.

Which metal atoms can form ionic bonds by losing electrons from both the outermost and next to outermost principal energy levels
RoseWind [281]

Full question options;

(Fe, Pb, Mg, or Ca)

Answer:

Iron - Fe

Explanation:

We understand tht metals pretty much form bonds by losing their valence (outermost electrons). But this question specifically asks for metals that lose beyond their outermost electrons; next to outermost principal energy levels.

Pb, Mg, and Ca only lose their outermost electrons to form the following ions;

Pb2+, Mg2+, and Ca2+.

This is because their ions have achieved a stable octet configuration - the dreamland of atoms where they are satisfied and don't need to go into reactions again.

Iron on the other hand has the following electronic configurations;

Fe:  [Ar]4s2 3d6

Fe2+:  [Ar]4s0 3d6

Fe3+:  [Ar]4s0 3d5

This means ion can lose both the ooutermost electrons (4s) and next to outermost principal energy levels (3d). So correct option is Iron.

URGENT!!!What volume of a 0.88 M solution can be made using 130. Grams of FeCI^2?
Likurg_2 [28]

Answer:

1.16L can be made

Explanation:

Molarity = Mol / Volume

Volume = Mol / Molarity

Let's determine the moles of salt, with that mass:

130 g FeCl₂ . 1mol / 126.75 g = 1.02 moles of FeCl₂

Volume = 1.02 mol / 0.88 mol/L → 1.16L
