What is the chemical formula for a compound between Li and Br?

Chemistry

LiBr.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Note that the group number in this answer refers to the new IUPAC group number, which ranges from 1 to 18. Counts from the left. Start with the first two column (group 1 and 2), go on to the transition elements (Sc, Ti, etc. in group 3 through 12), and continue with the nonmetals (group 13 through 18).  

Li is a group 1 metal. As a metal, it tends to form positive ions ("cations"). Metals in group 1 and 2 are <em>main group</em> metals. The charge on main group metal ions tends to be the same as the group number of the metal. Li is in group 1. The charge on an Li ion will be +1. Formula of the Li ion will be \text{Li}^{+}.

Br is a group 17 nonmetal. As a nonmetal, it tends to form negative ions ("anions"). The charge on nonmetal ions excepting for H tends to equal the group number of the nonmetal minus 18. Br is in group 17. The charge on a Br ion will be 17 - 18 = -1. Formula of the Br ion will be \text{Br}^{-}

All the ions in an ionic compound carry charge. However, some of the ions like \text{Li}^+ are positive. Others ions like \text{Br}^{-} are negative. Charge on the two types of ions balance each other. As a result, the compound is <em>overall</em> neutral.

1 × (+1) + 1 × (-1) = 0. The positive charge on one \text{Li}^{+} ion balances the negative charge on one \text{Br}^{-} ion. The two ions would pair up at a 1:1 ratio.

The empirical formula for an ionic compound shows all the ions in the compound. Positive ions are written in front of negative ions. \text{Li}^{+} is positive and \text{Br}^{-} is negative. The formula shall also show the simplest ratio between the ions. For the compound between Li and Br, a 1:1 ratio will be the simplest. The "1" subscript in an empirical formula can be omitted. Hence the formula: LiBr.

Alisiya [41]

Answer:Hence, the bond length in HCl is 125 pm.

Explanation:

Bond length : It is an average distance between the nuclei of two bonded atoms in a molecule.

Also given that bond length is the distance between the centers of two bonded atoms. on the potential energy curve, the bond length is the inter-nuclear distance between the two atoms when the potential energy of the system reaches its lowest value. Beyond this if atoms come closer to each other then their will be repulsion between them.

So, the bond length between the Hydrogen and Chlorine atom in HCl molecule is :

Bond length=radius _{hydrogen}+radius_{chlorine}=25pm+100pm=125pm

Hence, the bond length in HCl is 125 pm.

If 42.7 of 0.208 M hydrochloric acid are needed to completely neutralize a solution of calcium hydroxide, how many grams of calc
Montano1993 [528]

Answer:

0.329 g

Explanation:

In the context of this problem, we have a chemical reaction between hydrochloric acid and calcium hydroxide. HCl is the acid here and calcium hydroxide is the base. Hence, we have an acid-base reaction, also known as neutralization reaction.

In a neutralization reaction, water is produced as a product, as well as a salt that we obtain after we exchange the cations: calcium bonds to chloride and hydrogen bonds to hydroxide (the latter is the formation of water). This means we also produce calcium chloride as a product. The overall reaction represents this as:

Ca(OH)_2(aq)+2 HCl (aq)\rightarrow CaCl_2 (aq)+2 H_2O (l)

Firslt of all, we wish to find the number of moles of HCl present. Having molarity and volume, this is done by applying the molarity formula. It states that molarity is equal to the rate between moles and volume:

c_{HCl}=\frac{n_{HCl}}{V_{HCl}}

Rearranging for moles of HCl, n:

n_{HCl}=c_{HCl}V_{HCl}

Based on stoichiometry of the balanced chemical equation, notice that 1 mole of calcium hydroxide reacts with 2 moles of HCl, meaning:

n_{Ca(OH)_2}=\frac{1}{2} n_{HCl}=\frac{1}{2}c_{HCl}V_{HCl}

Now that we have the expression for moles, we may also express moles of calcium hydroxide as the ratio between its mass and molar mass:

n_{Ca(OH)_2}=\frac{m_{Ca(OH)_2}}{M_{Ca(OH)_2}}

Using the last two equations, we see that:

\frac{1}{2}c_{HCl}V_{HCl}=\frac{m_{Ca(OH)_2}}{M_{Ca(OH)_2}}\\\therefore m_{Ca(OH)_2}=\frac{1}{2}c_{HCl}V_{HCl}M_{Ca(OH)_2}

Substitute the given data, as well as the molar mass of calcium hydroxide:

m_{Ca(OH)_2}=\frac{1}{2}\cdot0.208 M\cdot0.0427 L\cdot74.093 g/mol=0.329 g

If 8.00 mol of an ideal gas at stp were confined to a cube, what would be the length in cm of an edge of this cube?
MatroZZZ [7]
To solve this problem it is fundamentally, just look for the volume of the gas and convert it to cm3. At STP 1 mole = 22.4 liters. 8.00 moles x 22.4 liters/mole = 179.2 liters = 179,200 cm^3 Then. get the cube root of 179,200 cm^3. This would be equal to 56.38 cm and thus would be the length of the edge of this cube.
