Answer: Option (d) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When an element has incompletely filled valence or outermost shell then that atom is most likely to undergo a chemical reaction in order to attain stability.

For example, sodium has atomic number 11 and its electronic configuration is 2, 8, 1. So, to attain stability sodium will readily loose 1 electron. Hence, it will become reactive in nature to attain stability.

Whereas argon has atomic number 18 and its electronic configuration is 2, 8, 8. Therefore, its valence shell is completely filled so, it will not react easily.

Hence, we can conclude that family of group 18 on the periodic table is least likely to enter into chemical reactions.

The ksp of calcium carbonate, caco3, is 3.36 × 10-9 m2. calculate the solubility of this compound in g/l.

CaCO₃ partially dissociates in water as Ca²⁺ and CO₃²⁻. The balanced equation is,
                       CaCO₃(s) ⇄ Ca²⁺(aq) + CO₃²⁻(aq)
Initial                Y                   -                 -
Change           -X                  +X              +X
Equilibrium      Y-X                 X                X

Ksp for the CaCO₃(s) is 3.36 x 10⁻⁹ M²

                Ksp = [Ca²⁺(aq)][CO₃²⁻(aq)]
3.36 x 10⁻⁹ M² = X * X
3.36 x 10⁻⁹ M² = X²
                    X = 5.79 x 10⁻⁵ M

Hence the solubility of CaCO₃(s) = 5.79 x 10⁻⁵ M
                                                     = 5.79 x 10⁻⁵ mol/L

Molar mass of CaCO₃ = 100 g mol⁻¹

Hence the solubility of CaCO₃ = 5.79 x 10⁻⁵ mol/L x 100 g mol⁻¹
                                                 = 5.79 x 10⁻³ g/L

Name each of the following species for the following acid-base reactions. (The equilibrium lies to the right in each case, i.e.,
DaniilM [7]

Answer: a) H_3O^++CH_3O^-\rightleftharpoons CH_3OH+H_2O

acid : hydronium ion

base : methoxide ion

conjugate acid : methanol

conjugate base: water

b) CH_3CH_2O^-+HCl\rightleftharpoons CH_3CH_2OH+Cl^-

acid : hydrogen chloride

base : ethoxide ion

conjugate acid : ethanol

conjugate base: chloride ion

c) NH_2^-+CH_3OH\rightleftharpoons NH_3+CH_3O^-

acid : methanol

base : amide ion

conjugate acid : ammonia

conjugate base: methoxide ion

Explanation:

According to the Bronsted-Lowry conjugate acid-base theory, an acid is defined as a substance which looses donates protons and thus forming conjugate base and a base is defined as a substance which accepts protons and thus forming conjugate acid.

The species accepting a proton is considered as a base and after accepting a proton, it forms a conjugate acid.

The species losing a proton is considered as an acid and after loosing a proton, it forms a conjugate base

For the given chemical equation:

a) H_3O^++CH_3O^-\rightleftharpoons CH_3OH+H_2O

acid : hydronium ion

base : methoxide ion

conjugate acid : methanol

conjugate base: water

b) CH_3CH_2O^-+HCl\rightleftharpoons CH_3CH_2OH+Cl^-

acid : hydrogen chloride

base : ethoxide ion

conjugate acid : ethanol

conjugate base: chloride ion

c) NH_2^-+CH_3OH\rightleftharpoons NH_3+CH_3O^-

acid : methanol

base : amide ion

conjugate acid : ammonia

conjugate base: methoxide ion
