Which of the following statements about metallic bond are correct?

1 answer:

4 0

2 and 3 are true. Metals are malleable because they don't bond tightly, or they have a "sea" of electrons that allow the atoms to move about freely. The more electrons that are available to bond, the more those atoms are attracted, causing a stronger bond. If you have any questions about this, please let me know!

Given pH = 3.50 Find: [H3O+] and [OH-] Is this acidic, basic or neutral?

lys-0071 [83]

Answer:

Explanation:

Given parameters:

pH = 3.50

Unknown:

concentration of [H₃0⁺] = ?

concentration of [OH⁻] = ?

Solution:

In order to find the unknown, we use some simple expressions which best explains the pH scale and the equilibrium systems of aqueous solutions.

pH = -log₁₀[H₃O⁺]

[H₃O⁺] = inverse log₁₀ (-pH) = $10^{-pH}$ = $10^{-3.5}$

[H₃O⁺] = 3.2 x 10⁻⁴moldm⁻³

For the [OH⁻]:

we use : pOH = -log₁₀ [OH⁻]

Recall: pOH + pH = 14

pOH = 14 - pH = 14 - 3.5 = 10.5

Now we plug the value of pOH into pOH = -log₁₀ [OH⁻]

[OH⁻] = $10^{-pOH}$

[OH⁻] = $10^{-10.5}$ = 3.2 x 10⁻¹¹moldm⁻³

The solution is acidic as the concentration of H₃0⁺ is more than that of the OH⁻ ions.

Write the isotopic symbol for the following (show your work) a) An isotope of iodine whose atoms have 78 neutrons b) An isotope

morpeh [17]

Answer:

For a: The isotopic representation of iodine is $_{53}^{131}\textrm{I}$

For b: The isotopic representation of cesium is $_{55}^{137}\textrm{Cs}$

For c: The isotopic representation of strontium is $_{38}^{52}\textrm{Sr}$

Explanation:

The isotopic representation of an atom is: $_Z^A\textrm{X}$

where,

Z = Atomic number of the atom

A = Mass number of the atom

X = Symbol of the atom

For a:

We are given:

Number of neutrons = 78

Atomic number of iodine = 53 = Number of protons

Mass number = 53 + 78 = 131

Thus, the isotopic representation of iodine is $_{53}^{131}\textrm{I}$

For b:

We are given:

Number of neutrons = 82

Atomic number of cesium = 55 = Number of protons

Mass number = 55 + 82 = 137

Thus, the isotopic representation of cesium is $_{55}^{137}\textrm{Cs}$

For c:

We are given:

Number of neutrons = 52

Atomic number of strontium = 38 = Number of protons

Mass number = 38 + 52 = 90

Thus, the isotopic representation of strontium is $_{38}^{52}\textrm{Sr}$

Where does the equilibrium point occur in a reaction system?

Ymorist [56]

Equilibrium occurs when the rate of the forward reaction is the same as the rate of the reverse reaction. This doesn't necessarily mean the concentrations or pressure are the same on both sides of the equation, only the rates are the same

Choose the solvent below that would show the greatest freezing point lowering when used to make a 0.20 m nonelectrolyte solution

tatiyna

Answer : Carbon tetrachloride, $k_f=29.9^oC/m$ will show the greatest freezing point lowering.

Explanation :

For non-electrolyte solution, the formula used for lowering in freezing point is,

$\Delta T_f=k_f\times m$

where,

$\Delta T_f$ = lowering in freezing point

$k_f$ = molal depression constant

m = molality

As per question, the molality is same for all the non-electrolyte solution. So, the lowering in freezing point is depend on the $k_f$ only.

That means the higher the value of $k_f$ , the higher will be the freezing point lowering.

From the given non-electrolyte solutions, the value of $k_f$ of carbon tetrachloride is higher than the other solutions.

Therefore, Carbon tetrachloride, $k_f=29.9^oC/m$ will show the greatest freezing point lowering.
