Enantiomers is a type of structural isomerism. Two structures have the same chemical formula, but they differ in the arrangement of functional groups. The key characteristic of a pair of enantiomers is that, the two structures are mirror-images of each other. Example is the two isomers of 2-butanol shown in the picture.

Do ionic or covalent substances tend to produce more ions in solution? ...?

sasho [114]

The answer for the given question above is IONIC. Ionic substances form giant ionic lattices containing oppositely charged ions. They have high melting and boiling points, and conduct electricity when melted or dissolved in water.

"How much NH4Cl, when present in 2.00 liters of 0.200 M ammonia, will give a solution with pH = 8.20? For NH3, Kb = 1.8 x 10-5"

Andru [333]

Answer:

245.66g of NH₄Cl is the mass we need to add to obtain the desire pH

Explanation:

The mixture of NH3/NH4Cl produce a buffer. We can find the pH of a buffer using H-H equation:

pH = pKa + log [A⁻] / [HA]

Where [A⁻] is the molar concentration of the base, NH₃, and [HA] molar concentration of the acid, NH₄⁺. This molar concentration can be taken as the moles of each chemical

First, we need to find pKa of NH₃ using Kb. Then, the moles of NH₃ and finally replace these values in H-H equation to solve moles of NH₄Cl we need to obtain the desire pH.

pKa NH₃/NH₄⁺

pKb = - log Kb

pKb = -log 1.8x10⁻⁵ = 4.74

pKa = 14 - pKb

pKa = 14 - 4.74

pKa = 9.26

Moles NH₃

2.00L ₓ (0.200mol NH₃ / L) = 0.400 moles NH₃

H-H equation:

pH = pKa + log [NH₃] / [NH₄Cl]

8.20 = 9.26 + log [0.400 moles] / [NH₄Cl]

-1.06 = log [0.400 moles] / [NH₄Cl]

0.0087 = [0.400 moles] / [NH₄Cl]

[NH₄Cl] = 0.400 moles / 0.0087

[NH₄Cl] = 4.59 moles of NH₄Cl we need to add to original solution to obtain a pH of 8.20. In grams (Using molar mass NH₄Cl=53.491g/mol):

4.59 moles NH₄Cl ₓ (53.491g / mol) =

Write a balanced half-reaction for the reduction of permanganate ion mno−4 to solid manganese dioxide mno2 in acidic aqueous sol

Svetlanka [38]

The half-reaction includes either the reduction or the oxidation reaction of the redox reactions. In acidic solution permanganate ion will react with hydrogen ion to yield manganese ion and water.

<h3>What are Redox reactions?</h3>

Redox or oxidation-reduction reactions are the chemical reactions in which the oxidation and the reduction of the chemical species occur simultaneously.

Permanganate (VII) ion is a strong oxidizing agent and gets easily reduced to manganese ion in presence of the hydrogen ion in an acidic solution.

The balanced half-reaction for reduction is shown as,

$\rm MnO_{4}^{-} \; (aq)+ 8H^{+} \; (aq)+ 5e^{-} \rightarrow Mn^{2+} \; (aq)+ 4H_{2}O \; (l)$

Which groups of the periodic table want to gain electrons? What kind(s) of elements are these groups

lukranit [14]

Answer:

Elements that are metals tend to lose electrons and become positively charged ions called cations. Elements that are nonmetals tend to gain electrons and become negatively charged ions called anions. Metals that are located in column 1A of the periodic table form ions by losing one electron.
