<u>Answer:</u> The p-function of Zn^{2+} and NO_3^{-} ions are 2.51 and 2.14 respectively.

<u>Explanation:</u>

p-function is defined as the negative logarithm of any concentration.

We are given:

Millimolar concentration of zinc nitrate = 3.1 mM

Millimolar concentration of calcium nitrate = 4.2 mM

Converting this into molar concentration, we use the conversion factor:

1 M = 1000 mM

  • Concentration of zinc nitrate = 0.0031 M = 0.0031 mol/L

1 mole of zinc nitrate produces 1 mole of zinc ions and 2 moles of nitrate ions

Concentration of zinc ions = 0.0031 M

Concentration of nitrate ions in zinc nitrate, M_1=(2\times 0.0031)=0.0062M

  • Concentration of calcium nitrate = 0.0042 M = 0.0042 mol/L

1 mole of calcium nitrate produces 1 mole of calcium ions and 2 moles of nitrate ions

Concentration of calcium ions = 0.0042 M

Concentration of nitrate ions in calcium nitrate, M_2=(2\times 0.0042)=0.0084M

To calculate the concentration of nitrate ions in the solution, we use the equation:

M=\frac{M_1V_1+M_2V_2}{V_1+V_2}

Putting values in above equation, we get:

M=\frac{(0.0062\times 1)+(0.0084\times 1)}{1+1}\\\\M=0.0073M

Calculating the p-function of zinc ions and nitrate ions in the solution:

  • <u>For zinc ions:</u>

\text{p-function of }Zn^{2+}\text{ ions}=-\log[Zn^{2+}]

\text{p-function of }Zn^{2+}\text{ ions}=-\log(0.0031)\\\\\text{p-function of }Zn^{2+}\text{ ions}=2.51

  • <u>For nitrate ions:</u>

\text{p-function of }NO_3^{-}\text{ ions}=-\log[NO_3^{-}]

\text{p-function of }NO_3^{-}\text{ ions}=-\log(0.0073)\\\\\text{p-function of }NO_3^{-}\text{ ions}=2.14

Hence, the p-function of Zn^{2+} and NO_3^{-} ions are 2.51 and 2.14 respectively.

The solubility of oxygen gas in water at 40 ∘c is 1.0 mmol/l of solution. What is this concentration in units of mole fraction?
juin [17]

The formula for mole fraction is:

mole fraction of solute = \frac{number of moles of solute}{total number of moles of solution}    -(1)

The solubility of oxygen gas = 1.0 mmol/L  (given)

1.0 mmol/L means 1.0 mmol are present in 1 L.

Converting mmol to mol:

1.00 mmol\times \frac{1 mol}{1000 mmol} = 0.001 mol

So, moles of oxygen = 0.001 mol

For moles of water:

1 L of water = 1000 mL of water

Since, the density of water is 1.0 g/mL.

Density = \frac{mass}{volume}

Mass = 1.0 g/ml\times 1000 mL = 1000 g

So, the mass of water is 1000 g.

Molar mass of water = 18 g/mol.

Number of moles of water = \frac{1000 g}{18 g/mol} = 55.55 mol

Substituting the values in formula (1):

mole fraction = \frac{0.001}{55.55+0.001}

mole fraction = 1.8\times 10^{-5}

Hence, the mole fraction is 1.8\times 10^{-5}.

Weak noncovalent interactions:__________ a. do not include ionic interactions b. always involve water. c. can have a large cumul
valentina_108 [34]

Answer:

c. can have a large cumulative effect

Explanation:

Noncovalent interactions between molecules are weaker than covalent interactions. Noncovalent interactions between molecules are of various types which  include van der Waals forces, hydrogen bonding, and electrostatic interactions or ionic bonding.

van der Waals forces  are weak interactions found in all molecules. They include dipole-dipole interactions - formed due to the differences in the electronegativity of atoms - and the London dispersion forces.

Hydrogen Bonds  results when electrons are shared between hydrogen and a strongly electronegative atoms like fluorine, nitrogen, oxygen. The hydrogen acquires a partial positive charge while the electronegative atom acquires a partial negative. This results in attraction between hydrogen and neighboring electronegative molecules.

Ionic bonds result due to the attraction between groups with opposite electrical charges, for example in common salt between sodium and chloride ions.

Even though these noncovalent interactions are weak, cumulatively, they exert strong effect. For example, the high boiling point of water and the crystal structure of ice are due to hydrogen bonding.

Rank the following by their miscibility in
tatuchka [14]

Answer:

<h2>2. H2O < CH3OH < CH3CH2OH < C9H20</h2>

Explanation:

Decane is a hydrocarbon so it is a non-polar molecule. Non-polar molecules are soluble in non-polar molecules and polar molecules are soluble in polar molecules. Water is a polar molecule so it is least soluble in decane molecule and C_{9}H_{20} is a non-polar molecule so it is most soluble in decane molecule. Methanol and ethanol are the derivatives of hydrocarbon so they have more solubility than water but less solubility than nonane molecules.

Solids &lt; liquids &lt; gases
Tresset [83]

Answer:

space between particles

Explanation:

Properties of gases:

Molecule of gases randomly move everywhere and occupy all available space.

Gases don't have definite volume and shape and take the shape and volume of container in which it present.

Their densities are very low as compared to the liquid and solids.

Gas molecules are at long distance from each other therefore by applying pressure gases can be compressed.

The very weak inter molecular forces are present between gas molecules.

Properties of Liquid:

Liquid have definite volume but don,t have definite shape.

Their densities are high as compared to the gases but low as compared to the solids.

In liquid, molecules are close to each other and have greater inter molecular forces as compared to the gas molecules.

Properties of solids:

Solids have definite volume and shape.

In solids molecules are tightly pack and very close to each other.

Their melting and boiling point are every high.

The densities of solids are also very high as compared to the liquid and gas.

There are very strong inter molecular forces are present between solid molecules.
