Why is CaF2 not a molecular formula?

1 answer:

7 0

CaF2 is an ionic compound, since its the only substance in ur group that is formed with a non-melta and a metal NH3 is not an example of a molecular formula.

Identify and label the Brønsted-Lowry acid, its conjugate base, the Brønsted-Lowry base, and its conjugate acid in each of the f

julia-pushkina [17]

Explanation:

As per Brønsted-Lowry concept of acids and bases, chemical species which donate proton are called Brønsted-Lowry acids.

The chemical species which accept proton are called Brønsted-Lowry base.

(a) $HNO_3 + H_2O \rightarrow H_3O^+ + NO_3^-$

$HNO_3$ is Bronsted lowry acid and $NO_3^-$ is its conjugate base.

$H_2O$ is Bronsted lowry base and $H_3O^+$ is its conjugate acid.

(b)

$CN^- + H_2O \rightarrow HCN + OH^-$

$CN^-$ is Bronsted lowry base and HCN is its conjugate acid.

$H_2O$ is Bronsted lowry acid and $OH^-$ is its conjugate base.

(c)

$H_2SO_4 + Cl^- \rightarrow HCl + HSO_4^-$

$H_2SO_4$ is Bronsted lowry acid and $HSO_4^-$ is its conjugate base.

Cl^- is Bronsted lowry base and HCl is its conjugate acid.

(d)

$HSO_4^-+OH^- \rightarrow SO_4^{2-}+H_2O$

$HSO_4^-$ is Bronsted lowry acid and $SO_4^{2-}$ is its conjugate base.

OH^- is Bronsted lowry base and $H_2O$ is its conjugate acid.

(e)

$O_{2-}+H_2O \rightarrow 2OH^-$

$O_{2-}$ is Bronsted lowry base and OH- is its conjugate acid.

$H_2O$ is Bronsted lowry acid and OH- is its conjugate base.

Suppose that a catalyst lowers the activation barrier of a reaction from 125kJ/mol to 55kJ/mol125⁢kJ/mol to 55kJ/mol. By what fa

sineoko [7]

Answer:

The factor of increasing reaction rate is 1,85x10¹².

Explanation:

Using arrhenius formula:

$k = A e^\frac{-E_{a}}{RT}$

Where k is rate constant; A is frecuency factor; Eₐ is activation energy; R is gas constant (0,008134 kJ/molK); T is temperature 25°C = 298,15K

Thus, replacing for an activation energy of 125 kJ/mol assuming A as 1:

k = 1,25x10⁻²²

When activation energy is 55kJ/mol:

k = 2,31x10⁻¹⁰

Thus, the factor of increasing reaction rate is:

2,31x10⁻¹⁰/1,25x10⁻²² = 1,85x10¹²

I hope it helps!

Methylene chloride (CH2Cl2) has fewer chlorine atoms than chloroform (CHCl3). Nevertheless, methylene chloride has a larger mole

Talja [164]

Answer:

Explanation has been given below.

Explanation:

Chloroform has three polar C-Cl bonds. Methylene chloride has two polar C-Cl bonds. So it is expected that chloroform should be more polar and posses higher dipole moment than methylene chloride.
Two factors are liable for the opposite trend observed in dipole moments of methylene chloride and chloroform.
First one is the number of hyperconjugative hydrogen atoms present in a molecule. Hyperconjugation occurs with vacant d-orbital of Cl atom. Hyperconjugation amplifies charge separation in a molecule resulting higher dipole moment.
Methylene chloride has two hyperconjugative hydrogen atoms and chloroform has one hyperconjugative hydrogen atom.Therefore methylene chloride should have higher charge separation as compared to chloroform.
Second one is induction of opposite polarity in a C-Cl bond by another C-Cl bond in a molecule. Higher the opposite induction of polarity, lower the charge separation in a molecule and hence lower the dipole moment of a molecule.
Chloroform has three C-Cl bonds and methylene chloride has two C-Cl bonds. Therefore opposite induction is higher for chloroform resulting it's lower dipole moment.
