When a pH probe is inserted into a solution containing the chloride ion it is neutral. What is the pH of a solution containing t

he fluoride ion? View Available Hint(s) When a pH probe is inserted into a solution containing the chloride ion it is neutral. What is the pH of a solution containing the fluoride ion? The solution will be weakly acidic The solution will be weakly basic The solution will be strongly basic The solution will be neutral. The solution will be strongly acidic. Submit Part B The Ka of NH4+ is 5.6 × 10−10. The Kb of CN− is 2 × 10−5. The pH of a salt solution of NH4CN would be: View Available Hint(s) The of is . The of is . The pH of a salt solution of would be: Less than 7 because NH4+ is a stronger acid than CN− is a base. Greater than 7 because CN− is a stronger base than NH4+ is an acid Less than 7 because CN− is a stronger base than NH4+ is an acid. Greater than 7 because NH4+ is a stronger acid than CN− is a base.

Answer:

a. the solution will be weakly basic.

b. Greater than 7 because CN⁻ is a stronger base than NH₄⁺ is an acid.

Explanation:

a. The fluoride ion (F⁻) reacts with water thus:

F⁻ + H₂O → HF + OH⁻

That means that fluoride ions produce OH⁻ ions in solution doing <em>the solution will be weakly basic.</em>

b. The acidic equilibrium of NH₄⁺ is:

NH₄⁺ ⇄ NH₃ + H⁺ with a ka of 5,6x10⁻¹⁰.

The basic equilibrium of CN⁻ is:

CN⁻ + H₂O → HCN + OH⁻ with a kb of 2x10⁻⁵

That means that the production of OH⁻ from CN⁻ is higher than production of H⁺ from NH₄⁺. The CN⁻ is a stronger base than NH₄⁺ is an acid.

Thus, the pH of a salt solution of NH₄CN would be <em>Greater than 7 because CN⁻ is a stronger base than NH₄⁺ is an acid.</em>

Describe how elements of different electronegativities can share electrons unequally, leading to the formation of a polar covale
Nesterboy [21]
A polar covalent bond is a covalent bond in
which the atoms have an unequal attraction for
electrons and so the sharing is unequal. ... The
atom with the greater electronegativity acquires
a partial negative charge, while the atom with
the lesser electronegativity acquires a partial
positive charge.

A chemist pours 1 mol of zinc granules into one beaker and 1 mol of zinc chloride powder into another beaker. What do the two sa
Oksana_A [137]
Answer is: <span> two samples have in common same amount of substance and same number of particles.
1) There are same amount of substance in both beakers:
n(Zn) = 1 mol.
n(ZnCl</span>₂) = 1 mol.
2) There are same number of particles (atoms, molecules, ions) in both beakers:
N(Zn) = n(Zn) · Na.
N(Zn) = 1 mol · 6.023·10²³ 1/mol = 6.023·10²³ atoms of zinc.
N(ZnCl₂) = n(ZnCl₂) · Na.
N(ZnCl₂) = 1 mol · 6.023·10²³ 1/mol = 6.023·10²³ molecules of zinc(II) chloride.
Na - Avogadro number.

Arrange the following elements in order of increasing ionization energy
Gnoma [55]

Ionization Trend: First ionization energy will increase left to right across a period and increase bottom to top of a family (column).

A) Sr, Be, Mg are all in column 2 of the periodic table. Based on the first ionization rule above, from increasing to decreasing energy, the order is: Be, Mg, Sr

B) Bi, Cs, Ba are all in the same row of the periodic table. Based on the first ionization rule above, from increasing to decreasing energy, the order is: Bi, Ba, Cs

C) Same rule as above. Order is: Na, Al, S
