I suppose it would be forest because in order to have organic matter the soil needs to be rich and fertile,therefore it is forest.
Hydrochloric acid is very corrosive. Handling it should be properly taken cared off. Personal protective equipment should be worn at all times when using this substance. PPE includes gloves specific for the substance used, goggles, closed flat shoes and laboratory gown. The same should be done for handling silver nitrate.<span />
Sounds good, but would do little to explain why lithium, with 3 electrons, is more reactive than Helium with 2, or why Caesium is more reactive than Sodium, although it clearly has far more electrons with which to shield its nucleus.
Hydrogen is unusual in having a fairly exposed nucleus, but chemistry is not very much about the nucleus, it is about the way the electrons themselves interact. As Lightarrow suggests, it does help if you know the quantum behaviour of electrons in an atom (which I do not claim to know), but it basically boils down to electrons preferring some configurations over others.
At the simplest, the comparison between hydrogen and helium – it is not really to do with the nucleus, it is more to do with electrons liking to be in pairs. Electrons have (like most common particles) two possible spin states, and they are more stable when an electron in one spin state is paired with an electron in the opposite spin state. When two hydrogen atoms meet, the electrons each one of them hold can be shared between them, forming a more stable pair of electrons, and thus binding the two atoms together.
All of the group 1 atoms (hydrogen, lithium, sodium, potassium, caesium; all share the characteristic that they have an odd number of electrons, and that one of those electrons is relatively unstable. The reason that the heavier atoms are more reactive is quite contrary to the argument that Lightarrow put forward – it is not because of a stronger electrical reaction with the nucleus, but because of the larger number of electrons in the bigger atoms, they are actually more weakly attached to their own nucleus, and so more readily interact with the electrons of other atoms.
Another, even more stable configuration for the electrons around an atom requires 8 electrons. This gives the noble gases (apart from Helium) their stability, but it also gives atoms like chlorine and fluorine their reactivity. Atoms like those of chlorine and fluorine are only one electron short of having a group 8 electrons available to them, and so will readily snatch an electron from another atom (particularly if it is an atom that has a single loose electron, such as sodium or caesium) in order to make up that group of 8 electrons.
The above explanation is very crude, and really does need a proper understanding of the quantum states of electrons to give a better quantitative answer (it is probably the kind of answer that might have been acceptable in the 1920s or 1930s – the Bohr orbital model of the atom, but has now been superseded by better explanations of what goes on amongst the electrons of an atom).
Answer:
a) 43%
b) 0.122
c) 7.70 molal
d) 5.83 M
Explanation:
Step 1: Data given
Mass of H2SO4 = 571.6 grams
Density of H2SO4 = 1.329 g/cm³ this means 1.329 grams per 1 mL or 1329 grams per 1L
<em>a) Calculate mass percentage</em>
Mass % = (571.6 grams / 1329 grams)* 100% = <u>43%</u>
<em>b) Calculate mole fraction</em>
Number of moles H2SO4 = Mass H2SO4 / Molar mass H2SO4
Moles H2SO4 = 571.6 grams / 98.08 g/mol
Moles H2SO4 = 5.83 moles
Moles H2O = (1329 -571.6)/18.02 = 42.03 moles
Total moles = 5.83 + 42.03 = 47.86 moles
Mole fraction H2SO4 = Moles of solute (H2SO4)/ Total moles
Mole fraction H2SO4 = 5.83 moles / 47.86 moles
Mol fraction h2SO4 = <u>0.122</u>
<em>c) Calculate the molality</em>
Mass of solvent = 1329 grams - 571.6 grams = 757.4 grams = 0.7574 kg
Molality of H2SO4 = number of moles H2SO4 / mass of solvent
Molality H2SO4 = 5.83 moles / 0.7574 kg
Molality H2SO4 = <u>7.70 molal</u>
<em>d) Calculate Molarity </em>
Molarity H2SO4 = Number of moles H2SO4 / volume
Molarity H2SO4 = 5.83 moles / 1L = <u>5.83 M</u>
Answer:
Ethyl acetate is a polar solvent.
Explanation:
As you can see, the image below shows the chemical formula of Ethyl acetate. This compound has two oxygen atoms, whose electronegativity is greater than that of the carbon atom to which they are attached, the dipole moment of this molecule is nonzero. This phenomenon causes this compound to form dipole-dipole bonds with other polar molecules. This also means that polar compounds can dissolve in Ethyl acetate.
