Answer:
Case 1:
            X  =  Any element from Group I
            
                       i)    H
                       ii)   Li
                       iii)  Na
                       iv)  K
                       v)   Rb
                       vi)  Cs

            Y  =  1

Case 2:
            X  =  Any element from Group II
            
                       i)    Be
                       ii)   Mg
                       iii)  Ca
                       iv)  Sr
                       v)   Ba
                       vi)  Ra

            Y  =  2

Case 3:
            X  =  Any element from Group III
            
                       i)    B
                       ii)   Al
                       iii)  Ga
                       iv)  In
                       v)   Ti

            Y  =  3

Explanation:
                   The general formula given is as follow,

                                                    XCly

So, if X has +1 oxidation state, then it will require only one Cl atom with oxidation number -1 to form a neutral compound, therefore, y = 1.

If X has +2 oxidation state, then it will require two Cl atoms with oxidation number -1 to form a neutral compound, therefore, y = 2.

If X has +3 oxidation state, then it will require three Cl atoms with oxidation number -1 to form a neutral compound, therefore, y = 3.

) determine the henry's law constant for ammonia in water at 25°c if an ammonia pressure of 0.022 atm produces a solution with a
Nataly [62]

Answer:

a. 59 m/atm

Explanation:

  • To solve this problem, we must mention Henry's law.
  • <em>Henry's law states that at a constant temperature, the amount of a given gas dissolved in a given type and volume of liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of that gas in equilibrium with that liquid.</em>
  • It can be expressed as: C = KP,

C is the concentration of the solution (C = 1.3 M).

P is the partial pressure of the gas above the solution (P = 0.022 atm).

K is the Henry's law constant (K = ??? M/atm),

∵ C = KP.

∴ K = C/P = (1.3 M)/(0.022 atm) = 59.0 M/atm.
