WHY is HCl A STRONG ACID?

Chemistry
1 answer:
pickupchik [31]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Number of hydrogen ions

Explanation:

HCl is a strong acid because it has more number of hydrogen ions whereas acetic acid contains less number of hydrogen ions so its a weak acid , it can be varied by changing number of hydrogen ions in them . A strong acid is one which ionises either completely or almost completely in an aqueous medium.

Is a solution in which (OH) = 1.0 10-1M acidic, basic, or neutral?
astra-53 [7]

Answer:

The pH is 13,00 and the solution is basic.

Explanation:

<em> </em>The pH indicates the acidity or basicity of a substance. PH values between 0 and less than 7 indicate acidic solutions, 7 neutral and higher than 7 to 14 basic. It is calculated as

pH = -log (H 30+)

Both pH and pOH have a relationship to belonging to the same aqueous solution: the expression of the Kwater (ionic product of the water Kw) is used:

[H3O ^ +]x [OH ^ -] = 1x 10 ^ -14

[H3O ^ +]x [1.0 10-1]=1x 10 ^ -14

[H3O ^ +]= 1x 10 ^ -14/1.0 10-1M= <em>1.0 10-13 M</em>

pH = -log (H 30+)= -log (1.0 10-13 M)= <em>13, 00</em>

As the pH value is higher than 7, it corresponds to a basic substance.

Novay_Z [31]
<span>The rare earth elements include the lanthanide series, scandium and yttrium. They are a set of seventeen chemical elements in the periodic table. They really are not that rare but they occur together in nature and are hard to separate from one another.</span>

A 2.20 mol sample of NO 2 ( g ) is added to a 3.50 L vessel and heated to 500 K. N 2 O 4 ( g ) − ⇀ ↽ − 2 NO 2 ( g ) K c = 0.513
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

[NO₂] = 0.434 M

[N₂O₄] = 0.0971 M

Explanation:

The equilibrum is:  N₂O₄(g)  ⇆  2NO₂ (g)

1 moles of nitrogen (IV) oxide is in equilibrium with 2 moles of nitrogen dioxide.

Initally we only have 2.20 moles of NO₂. So let's write the equilibrium again:

              2NO₂ (g)   ⇆   N₂O₄(g)      

Initially   2.20 mol              -

React          x                      x/2

X amount has reacted, and the half has been formed, according to stoichiometry.

Eq       (2.20-x) / 3.50L     (x/2)/ 3.50L

We divide by the volume because we need molar concentrations. Let's make the Kc's expression:

Kc = [N₂O₄] / [NO₂]²

0.513 = ((x/2)/ 3.50L) /  [(2.20-x) / 3.50L]

0.513 = ((x/2)/ 3.50L) / [(2.20-x)² / 3.50L²]

0.513 = ((x/2)/ 3.50L) / [2.20-x)² / 3.50L²]

0.513 = ((x/2)/ 3.50L) / (4.84 - 4.40x + x²) / 12.25)

0.513 / 12.25 (4.84 - 4.40x + x²) = x/2 / 3.50

0.203 - 0.184x + 0.0419x² = x/2 / 3.50

3.50(0.203 - 0.184x + 0.0419x²) = x/2

7 (0.203 - 0.184x + 0.0419x²) - x = 0

1.421 - 2.288x + 0.2933x² = 0  → Quadratic formula

a = 0.2933 ;  b = -2.288 ; c = 1.421

(-b +- √(b²-4ac)) / (2a)

x₁ = 7.12

x₂ = 0.68 → We consider this value, so we can have a (+) concentration.

Concentrations in the equilibrium are:

[NO₂] = (2.20-0.68) / 3.50 = 0.434 M

[N₂O₄] = (0.68/2) / 3.50  = 0.0971 M

What is the difference between a proton, neutron, and electron?
jok3333 [9.3K]

Answer:

proton :

a particale or atom containing a postive charge

nuutron

a particale or atom that contains a negative charge

electron :

a particale or atom with a negative chrage.

Explanation:

proton:

a stable subatomic particle occurring in all atomic nuclei, with a positive electric charge equal in magnitude to that of an electron, but of opposite sign.

nuetron:

a subatomic particle of about the same mass as a proton but without an electric charge, present in all atomic nuclei except those of ordinary hydrogen.

elcetron:

a stable subatomic particle with a charge of negative electricity, found in all atoms and acting as the primary carrier of electricity in solids.
