Answer:

C10H22

Explanation:

Molecular Solids comprises of a Vander waal's force of attraction between the molecule. These forces are very weak when compared to ionic and covalent bond.

In Carbon, Carbon is not a molecule but an atom. One of it unique characteristics is that it forms bonds with other carbon atoms. This property is know as catenation. The bond between these carbon atoms is know as covalent bond.

Graphite is an allotrope of carbon. It exists as black , slippery, hexagonal crystals.The carbon atoms in graphite forms flat layers and are joined together by strong covalent bonds. Graphite can be used as lubricant in engines.

Gold (Au) is an element on the periodic table with atomic number 79 and a mass number 197. It exists as a metal. Most times Gold forms hydrogen bonds.

C10H22 is known as decane. It is the tenth compound formed in the series of alkane family( an organic unsaturated carbon chain family). Alkanes are aliphatic hydrocarbons. The forces of attraction between the alkane family are weak.In decane , their exists Vander waal's force which makes Decane C10H22 a Molecular Solid.

Use the Henderson-Hasselbalch equation and your knowledge of ionization to help you answer this question. Aspirin is a weak acid

Leya [2.2K]

Answer:

The protonated form is predominant when aspirin is absorbed more readily. The ratio of conjugate base to acid is 1 to 100.

Explanation:

Aspirin is more readily absorbed when it is protonated, that is when pH is lower than pKa (<em>more H⁺ available in the medium</em>). We can confirm this using Henderson-Hasselbalch equation for pH = 1.5:

$pH = pKa +log(\frac{conjugate base}{weak acid} )\\1.5=3.5 +log(\frac{conjugate base}{weak acid} )\\-2.0=log(\frac{conjugate base}{weak acid} )\\10^{-2.0} =\frac{conjugate base}{weak acid}\\\frac{conjugate base}{weak acid}=0.01=\frac{1}{100}$

When aspirin is absorbed more readily the ratio of conjugate base to acid is 1 to 100, being the acid the <em>predominant</em> form.

Which elements can form acidic compounds?

pashok25 [27]

Sodium and magnesium oxides are alkaline. Aluminium oxides are amphoteric (reacting both as a base or acid). Silicon, phosphorus, sulfur, and chlorine oxides are acidic. Some non-metal oxides, such as nitrous oxide (N2O) and carbon monoxide (CO), do not display any acid/base characteristics.

In many species, a transition metal has an unusually high or low oxidation state. Write balanced equations for the following and

When `CO_(2)` is bubbled through a cold pasty solution of barium peroxide in water, `H_(2)O_(2)` is obtained. <br> `BaO+CO_(2)+H_(2)OtoBaCO_(3)+H_(2)O_(2)` Barium carbonate being insoluble is filtered off. This is known as Merck's process.

<h3>What is meant by Perhydrol?</h3>

perhydrol (countable and uncountable, plural perhydrols) A stabilised solution of hydrogen peroxide.

<h3>What is Merck's Perhydrol?</h3>

Uses: Perhydrol is used as an antiseptic for wounds, and also acts as a germicide to kill bacteria and germs.

Being a strong oxidizing agent it has bleaching properties and acts as a ripening agent.

Using the Brønsted-Lowry concept of acids and bases, identify the Brønsted-Lowry acid and base in each of the following reaction

Luden [163]

Answer:

1. HSO³⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) → H₂SO₃(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

<u>The Brønsted-Lowry acid is H₂O and the Brønsted-Lowry base is HSO³⁻</u>

<u />

2. (CH₃)₃N(g) + BCl₃(g) → (CH₃)₃NBCl₃(s)

<u>There are no Brønsted-Lowry acids and bases in this reaction.</u>

Explanation:

According to the Brønsted-Lowry concept, when an acid (HA) and a base (B) undergoes a chemical reaction, the acid (HA) loses a proton and forms its conjugate base (A⁻), whereas the base gains (B) the proton to form its conjugate acid (HB⁺).

<em>The chemical equation for this reaction is:</em>

HA + B ⇌ A⁻ + HB⁺

Given reactions:

1. HSO³⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) → H₂SO₃(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

<u>The Brønsted-Lowry acid is H₂O and the Brønsted-Lowry base is HSO³⁻</u>

Reason: In this reaction, the acid H₂O loses a proton and forms its conjugate base, OH⁻. Whereas, the base HSO³⁻ gains a proton to form its conjugate acid, H₂SO₃.

2. (CH₃)₃N(g) + BCl₃(g) → (CH₃)₃NBCl₃(s)

<u>There are no Brønsted-Lowry acids and bases in this reaction.</u>

Reason: In this reaction, there is no exchange of proton between the acid and the base.
