Ionic compounds are compounds that are formed together by a cation and an anion. A cation is an ion with a positive charge. For example, Na+ and Ca2+. An ion has a negative charge, like Cl- and OH-. There is a greater chance of forming an ionic compound when they have a great difference in electronegativity, the ability to attract electrons toward itself. In the periodic table, elements that are opposite to each other, more likely found in opposite sides, would be more apt to form an ionic compound. Example would be NaCl and CaCl2 or Ca(OH)2.
Answer:
d. Copper (II) sulfate
Explanation:
Given data:
Mass of Al = 1.25 g
Mass of CuSO₄ = 3.28 g
What is limiting reactant = ?
Solution:
Chemical equation:
2Al + 3CuSO₄ → Al₂ (SO₄)₃ + 3Cu
Number of moles of Al:
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
Number of moles = 1.25 g/ 27 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.05 mol
Number of moles of CuSO₄:
Number of moles = mass/molar mass
Number of moles = 3.28 g/ 159.6 g/mol
Number of moles = 0.02 mol
now we will compare the moles of reactant with product.
Al : Al₂ (SO₄)₃
2 : 1
0.05 : 1/2×0.05=0.025 mol
Al : Cu
2 : 3
0.05 : 3/2×0.05 = 0.075 mol
CuSO₄ : Al₂ (SO₄)₃
3 : 1
0.02 : 1/3×0.02=0.007 mol
CuSO₄ : Cu
3 : 3
0.02 : 0.02
Less number of moles of reactants are produced by CuSO₄ thus it will act as limiting reactant.
Answer:
Al2O3 + H2SO4 = Al2(SO4)3 + H2O
Explanation:
Answer:
Kₐ = 6.7 x 10⁻⁴
Explanation:
First lets write the equilibrium expression, Ka , for the dissociation of hydrofluoric acid:
HF + H₂O ⇄ H₃O⁺ + F⁻
Kₐ = [ H₃O⁺ ] [ F⁻ ] /[ [ HF ]
Since we are given the pH we can calculate the [ H₃O⁺ ] ( pH = - log [ H₃O⁺ ] , and because the acid dissociates into a 1: 1 relation , we will also have [F⁻ ]. The [ HF ] is given in the question so we have all the information that is needed to compute Kₐ.
pH = -log [ H₃O⁺ ]
1.68 = - log [ H₃O⁺ ]
Taking antilog to both sides of this equation:
10^-1.68 = [ H₃O⁺ ] ⇒ 2.1 X 10⁻² M= [ H₃O⁺ ]
[ F⁻ ] = 2.1 X 10⁻² M
Solving for Kₐ :
Kₐ = ( 2.1 X 10⁻² ) x ( 2.1 X 10⁻² ) / 0.65 = 6.7 x 10⁻⁴
(Rounded to two significant figures, the powers of 10 have infinite precision )
