Answer:

Ka = 1.39x10⁻⁶

Explanation:

A monoprotic acid, HX, will be in equilibrium in an aqueous medium such as:

HX(aq) ⇄ H⁺(aq) + X⁻(aq)

<em>Where Ka is:</em>

Ka = [H⁺] [X⁻] / [HX]

<em>Where [] is the molar concentration in equilibrium of each specie. </em>

The equilibrium is reached when some HX reacts producing H+ and X-, that is:

[HX] = 1.64M - X

[H⁺] = X

[X⁻] = X

As pH is 2.82 = -log [H⁺]:

[H⁺] = 1.51x10⁻³M:

[HX] = 1.64M - 1.51x10⁻³M = 1.638M

[H⁺] = 1.51x10⁻³M

[X⁻] = 1.51x10⁻³M

And Ka is:

Ka = [1.51x10⁻³M] [1.51x10⁻³M] / [1.638M]

<h3>Ka = 1.39x10⁻⁶</h3>

Sort the following elements in order from least reactive to most reactive.
SVEN [57.7K]

Sorting the chemical elements in order from least reactive to most reactive, we have:

1. Fluorine (F).

2. Arsenic (As).

3. Antimony (Sb).

4. Silicon (S).

<u>Given the following chemical elements:</u>

  • Antimony (Sb).
  • Silicon (S).
  • Fluorine (F).
  • Arsenic (As).

Reactivity can be defined as a chemical property which determines how readily a chemical element <u>bonds</u> with other chemical elements, in order to form a new chemical compound.

Generally, the ability of a chemical element to bond with other chemical elements is largely (highly) dependent on the number of valence electrons it has in the outermost shell of its atomic nucleus.

As a general rule, chemical elements that are having <u>fewer</u> number of valence electrons are the most reactive while those having <u>higher</u> valence electrons are least reactive.

Also, chemical reactivity <u>decreases</u> down a group on the periodic table.

Based on the periodic table, the valency for the given chemical elements are:

  • <u>Antimony (Sb):</u> 5 valence electrons.
  • <u>Silicon (S):</u> 4 valence electrons.
  • <u>Fluorine (F):</u> 7 valence electrons.
  • <u>Arsenic (As):</u> 5 valence electrons.

In conclusion, sorting the chemical elements in order from least reactive to most reactive, we have:

1. Fluorine (F).

2. Arsenic (As).

3. Antimony (Sb).

4. Silicon (S).

What organic product would you expect from the reaction of ethylmagnesium bromide (CH3CH2MgBr) with H2O.
tatyana61 [14]

Answer:

It would produce ethane (CH₃CH₃)

Explanation:

Ethylmagnesium bromide (CH₃CH₂MgBr) is a Grignard's reagent.

It is a highly reactive substance, and as any alkylmagnesium bromide

(R-CH₂MgBr) it reacts with water to produce an alkane (R-CH₃). R stands for any carbon structure bonded to that functional group.
