Answer:

order = SrS > SrCl2 > RbCl > CsBr

Explanation:

Comparison of the melting points of compounds is basically dependent on the charge on their cation and anion, the more the charges on the cation and anion, the stronger and greater the force of attraction and as such the melting point will be relatively higher as well.

The ionic radii is also another factor to be considered, the more the distance between ions, the lesser the bond strength and the lesser the melting point.

from the options, in terms of ionic radii SrS > SrCl2 and RbCl > CsBr

also both SrS and SrCl2 have more charges on their ions compared to RbCl and CsBr and as such the arrangement of the highest melting point will be in the order SrS > SrCl2 > RbCl > CsBr.

The pH pH scale for acidity is defined by pH = − log 10 [ H + ] pH=-log10[H+] where [ H + ] [H+]is the concentration of hydrogen
balu736 [363]

Answer:

2 51 × 10^-5mol/L

Explanation:

The concentration of hydrogen ions can be calculated using the formula below :

pH = -log [H+]

pH = 4.6

[H+] = ?

[H+] = Antilog (-4.6)

[H+] = 2 51 × 10^-5mol/L

A chemistry student is given 600. mL of a clear aqueous solution at 37.° C. He is told an unknown amount of a certain compound X
barxatty [35]

Answer:

  • <u>Yes, it is 14. g of compound X in 100 ml of solution.</u>

Explanation:

The relevant fact here is:

  • the whole amount of solute disolved at 21°C is the same amount of precipitate after washing and drying the remaining liquid solution: the amount of solute before cooling the solution to 21°C is not needed, since it is soluble at 37°C but not soluble at 21°C.

That means that the precipitate that was thrown away, before evaporating the remaining liquid solution under vacuum, does not count; you must only use the amount of solute that was dissolved after cooling the solution to 21°C.

Then, the amount of solute dissolved in the 600 ml solution at 21°C is the weighed precipitate: 0.084 kg = 84 g.

With that, the solubility can be calculated from the followiing proportion:

  • 84. g solute / 600 ml solution = y / 100 ml solution

      ⇒ y = 84. g solute × 100 ml solution / 600 ml solution = 14. g.

The correct number of significant figures is 2, since the mass 0.084 kg contains two significant figures.

<u>The answer is 14. g of solute per 100 ml of solution.</u>
