Solute particles can be atoms, ions or molecules.

Explanation:

Solute is the material which has to be mixed in the solvent to prepare a solution. So the concentration of solute should be less than the solvent. Also the solute and solvent should be of same nature other they will not dissolve with each other. The solute can be made up of atoms, ions or molecules depending upon the solvent. If the solvent concentration is in moles, then the solute concentration can be taken as atoms, ions or molecules. Also the saturation point plays a main role in deciding the kind of particles taken for the solute.

Picric acid has been used in the leather industry and in etching copper. However, its laboratory use has been restricted because

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

0.3023 M

Explanation:

Let Picric acid = $H_{picric}$

So, $H_{picric}$ + $H_2}O$ ⇄ $H_3}O^+$ + $Picric^-$

The ICE table can be given as:

$H_{picric}$ + $H_2}O$ ⇄ $H_3}O^+$ + $Picric^-$

Initial: 0.52 0 0

Change: - x + x + x

Equilibrium: 0.52 - x + x + x

Given that;

acid dissociation constant ( $K_a$ ) = 0.42

$K_a = \frac{[H_3O^+][Picric^-]}{H_{picric}}$

$0.42 = \frac{[x][x]}{0.52-x}}$

$0.42 = \frac{[x]^2}{0.52-x}}$

0.42(0.52-x) = x²

0.2184 - 0.42x = x²

x² + 0.42x - 0.2184 = 0 -------------------- (quadratic equation)

Using the quadratic formula;

$\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$ ; ( where +/- represent ± )

= $\frac{-0.42+/-\sqrt{(0.42)^2-4(1)(-0.2184)} }{2*1}$

= $\frac{-0.42+/-\sqrt {0.1764+0.8736} }{2}$

= $\frac{-0.42+\sqrt {1.0496} }{2}$ OR $\frac{-0.42-\sqrt {1.0496} }{2}$

= $\frac{-0.42+1.0245}{2}$ OR $\frac{-0.42-1.0245}{2}$

= $\frac{0.6045}{2}$ OR $-\frac{1.4445}{2}$

= 0.30225 OR - 0.72225

So, we go by the +ve integer that says:

x = 0.30225

x = [ $H_3}O^+$ ] = [ $Picric^-$ ] = 0.3023 M

∴ the value of [H3O+] for an 0.52 M solution of picric acid = 0.3023 M (to 4 decimal places).

An atom of which element has the greatest attraction for electrons in a chemical bond?

Katyanochek1 [597]

Answer is (4) - Se.

Among the given choices Se has the highest electronegativity value as 2.4 compared to others. Hence, Se shows <span>greatest attraction for electrons in a chemical bond.

</span>Electronegativity is a value that tells us how an atom can attract electrons towards itself. <span>If the electronegativity is high, then the attraction to the electrons is also high.

Which laws can be combined to form the ideal gas law? Boyle’s law and Charles’s law Gay-Lussac’s law and Avogadro’s law Charles’

kolezko [41]

Ideal gas law is a combination of three gas laws, which are Boyle's law, Charles' law and Avogadro's law. Ideal gas law states that PV = nRT, where:
P = pressure of the gas
V = volume of the gas
n = no of moles of the gas
R = universal gas constant
T = absolute temperature in Kelvin
