Answer: The pH of the solution is 1.92

Explanation:

To calculate the pH of the solution, we use the equation:

$pH=-\log[H^+]$

We are given:

Hydrochloric acid is a monoprotic acid and it dissociates 1 mole of hydrogen ions. So, the concentration of hydrogen ions is $1.20\times 10^{-2}M$

$[H^+]=1.20\times 10^{-2}M$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$pH=-\log(1.20\times 10^{-2})\\\\pH=1.92$

Hence, the pH of the solution is 1.92

How does atomic radius change from top to bottom in a group in the periodic table?

suter [353]

The atomic radius increases as you would go down a particular group on the periodic table of elements. This is because along with a greater number of protons, there would also be electrons as well, and thus the need of electron shells surrounding the atom would also be required, to compensate for the more electrons, as according to the bohr model, each shell contains 8 electrons in its electron shell. Thus the distance from the nucleus to the outermost shell increases, the atomic radius.

Hydrogen and oxygen react chemically to form water how much water would form if 14.8grams of hydrogen reacted with 34.8 grams of

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

There will be formed 39.1935 grams H2O formed

Explanation:

Step 1: The balanced equation

2H2 + 02 → 2H20

Step 2: Given data

mass of hydrogen = 14.8 grams

Molar mass of hydrogen = 2.02 g/mole

mass of oxygen = 34.8 grams

Molar mass of oxygen = 32 g/mole

Step 3: Calculate moles

moles = mass / Molar mass

moles of hydrogen = 14.8g/ 2.02 g/mole = 7.33 moles

moles of oxygen = 34.8g / 32g/mole = 1.0875 moles

For 2 moles hydrogen consumed, we need 1 mole of oxygen.

This means oxygen is the limiting reagens and will be consumed completely. Hydrogen is the reactant in excess, there will remain 5.155 moles of hydrogen

Step 4: Calculate moles of H2O

We see that for 2 moles of H2 consumed, there is needed 1 mole of O2, to produce 2 moles of H2O.

For 1.0875 moles of oxygen consumed, there will be produced 2.175 moles of H2O

Step 5: Calculate mass of water

Mass of H2O = moles of H2O * Molar mass of H2O

Mass of H2O = 2.175 moles * 18.02 g/moles 39.1935 grams

There will be formed 39.1935 grams H2O formed

Which list of elements from Group 2 on the Periodic Table is arranged in order of increasing atomic radius?

IgorC [24]

The correct answer is option 1. Be, Mg, and Ca is the correct order arranged in increasing atomic radius. This is predicted based on the periodic table. The atomic sizes increases as one moves downwards in the periodic table.
