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.

Determine ΔH for the reaction CaCO3 → CaO + CO2 given these data: 2 Ca + 2 C + 3 O2 → 2 CaCO3 ΔH = −2,414 kJ C + O2 → CO2 ΔH = −
kicyunya [14]

Answer:

The ΔH for the reaction is -456.5 KJ

Explanation:

Here we want to determine ΔH for the reaction;

Mathematically;

ΔH = ΔH(product) - ΔH(reactant)

In the case of the first reaction;

ΔH = ΔH(CaO) + ΔH(CO2) - ΔH(CaCO3)  ...........................(*)

From the other reactions, we can get the respective ΔH for the individual molecule in the reaction

In second reaction;

Kindly note that for elements, molecule of gases, ΔH = 0

What this means is that throughout the solution;

ΔH(Ca)  = 0 KJ

ΔH(O2) = 0 KJ

ΔH(C) = 0 KJ

Thus, in writing the equation for the subsequent chemical reactions, we shall need to write and equate the overall ΔH for the reaction to that of the product alone

So in the second reaction

ΔH = 2ΔH(CaCO3)

Thus;

-2414/2 = ΔH(CaCO3)

ΔH(CaCO3) = -1,207  KJ

Moving to the third reaction, we have;

ΔH = ΔH(CO2)

Hence ΔH(CO2) = -393.5 KJ

For the last reaction;

ΔH = ΔH(CaO)

Hence ΔH(CaO) = -1270 KJ

Going back to equation *

ΔH = ΔH(CaO) + ΔH(CO2) - ΔH(CaCO3)

Using the values of the ΔH  of the respective molecules given above,

ΔH  = -1270 + (-393.5) - (-1207)

ΔH  = -456.5 KJ

Compare the boiling points of 1-pentyne and 1-octyne.
Elan Coil [88]
1-pentyne consists of a carbon chain of 5 carbons one with a triple bond. 1-octyne is a carbon chain of 8 carbons with a triple bond at some point. It is known that the longer the carbon chain the higher the boiling point since more energy will be required to break the bonds between carbons. Based on this it is predicted that 1-octyne will have a higher boiling point than 1-pentyne.

Diferencia entre red trofica y cadena trófica
Angelina_Jolie [31]

Answer:

Una cadena alimentaria es una secuencia lineal de organismos a través de la cual los nutrientes y la energía pasan de un organismo a otro mediante consumo. ... Las redes tróficas consisten de varias cadenas alimentarias interconectadas y son una representación más realista de las relaciones de consumo en los ecosistemas

Explanation:

A food chain is a linear sequence of organisms through which nutrients and energy pass from one organism to another by consumption. ... Food webs consist of several interconnected food chains and are a more realistic representation of consumption relationships in ecosystems
