12. Which compound can act as both a BrønstedLowry

1 answer:

5 0

1) The compound which can act as a Bronsted-Lowry acid and a Bronsted-Lowry base is definitely water - H2O. Remember that water is amphoteric which means it can either accept protons or donate them, so it is the most proper option among other represented. Here are examples of both base and acid with water : HCl+H20=H30+Cl ; NH3+H2O=NH4+OH

2) The acids in this equilibrium reaction CN– + H2O HCN + OH. Acid species always donate H+ to the species with which they react. In the second option you can see how H2O donates an H+ to CN-. If the reaction gets reversed we will obtain HCN that donates an H+ to OH that shows that it is an acid.

3) The products of self-ionization of water are OH⁻ and H₃O⁺. Self-ionization is an ionization reaction during which H2O deprotonates its hydrogen atoms to become a hydroxide ion -- OH−. After this process OH- protonates another water molecule forming H3O+.

4) The type of solution which is one with a pH of 8 is acidic. Here is a little table that can be a prompt for you if you ever come across such tasks - ph : 7 is neutral. pH lower than 7 are acidic, and pH higher than 7 basic ones.

5) The acid dissociation constant for an acid dissolved in water is equal to the equilibrium constant. I consider this option correct because we can obtan Kw only when dealing with Kb, and we can conclude that the hydrolysis constant of the conujugate base.

6) A 0.12 M solution of an acid that ionizes only slightly in solution would be termed dilute and weak. You can determine it depending on its concentration. Such value as 0.12M usually defined as a dilute solution of a weak acid due to the fact that acid represents its partial ionization which is a direct characteristic of a weak acid.

7) To solve this task we should appeal to Henry's law that says the solubility of a gaz is proportional to its partial pressure. And according to this we can understand that 202kPa is the half of 404kPa which means that the needed solubility must be divided by 2 7.5/2=3.75 g/L and that's all.

8) I think that the most important points which best show how the addition of a solute affects the boiling point, the freezing
point, and the vapor pressure of the solvent are : BOILING: additional attractive forces can only exist between solute and solvent and in order to boil they must be overcome for the solution;we should add KE to overcome the forces. FREEZING : to freeze we have to withdrawn KE as the solute particles are surrounded by solvent molecules. VAPOR : WHen solvent shells are being formed the solute particles reduces the number of solvent particles that have sufficient KE to vaporize.

9) $[H+][OH-]= Kw = 1.0 * 10^-14$
$[H+]= Kw/ [OH-]= 1.0x 10^-14 / 1 x 10^-11 =1 x 10^-3 mol/L 

pH = - log [H+]= - log 1 x 10^-3 = 3$
Since we got Ph of 3 in a result we can define solution as an acidic one, as I mentioned before.

10) Since the formula of the given acid is HA it undergoes like that : HA<=> H+ + A- .
ka = [H][A] / [HA].
Now we have only [H+] and to go further you need to write electroneutrality equation for the reaction :
[H+] = [OH-] + [A-] (since [H]>>>[OH]), then
[H+] = [A-]
Then mass balance equation :
Ct = 0.5M = [A-] + [HA]
[HA] = 0.5 - [A-] = 0.5 - [H+]
Finally here is what we have done and get :
$ka = [H]^2 / (0.5 - [H+]) 
$
$ka = 0.0001*0.0001/(0.5-0.0001) = 2.00x10^-8$

11) The main points that are common for acids : they form Hydrogen ions when dissloved in water, - Ex. Vinegar and Lemon, Ph >7, they have Increased hydrogen ions (H+). The facts about bases : they reduce the concentration of hydgoren ions in a solution which is opposite to asids,- Ex. Antiacid,and Ammonia ,Ph valuse above 7, they form hydrogen (OH-).
- The common points of both acids and bases : Hydrogen ions ,
both not neutral and water based.

Based upon the following diagram, propose a possible identity for atoms X and Y. Explain your answer in terms of the periodic ta

zhenek [66]

Answer:

Up until now we have been discussing only the elemental forms of atoms which are neutrally charged. This is because the number of electrons (negative in charge) is equal to the number of protons (positive in charge). The overall charge on the atom is zero, because the magnitude of the negative charge is the same as the magnitude of the positive charge. This one-to-one ratio of charges is not, however, the most common state for many elements. Deviations from this ratio result in charged particles called ions.

Throughout nature, things that are high in energy tend to move toward lower energy states. Lower energy configurations are more stable, so things are naturally drawn toward them. For atoms, these lower energy states are represented by the noble gas elements. These elements have electron configurations characterized by full s and p subshells. This makes them stable and unreactive. They are already at a low energy state, so they tend to stay as they are.

The elements in the other groups have subshells that are not full, so they are unstable when compared to the noble gases. This instability drives them toward the lower energy states represented by the noble gases that are nearby in the periodic table. In these lower energy states, the outermost energy level has eight electrons (an “octet”). The tendency of an atom toward a configuration in which it possesses eight valence electrons is referred to as the “Octet Rule.”

There are two ways for an atom that does not have an octet of valence electrons to obtain an octet in its outer shell. One way is the transfer of electrons between two atoms until both atoms have octets. Because some atoms will lose electrons and some atoms will gain electrons, there is no overall change in the number of electrons, but with the transfer of electrons the individual atoms acquire a nonzero electric charge. Those that lose electrons become positively charged, and those that gain electrons become negatively charged. Recall that atoms carrying positive or negative charges are called ions. If an atom has gained one or more electrons, it is negatively charged and is called an anion. If an atom has lost one or more electrons, it is positively charged and is called a cation. Because opposite charges attract (while like charges repel), these oppositely charged ions attract each other, forming ionic bonds. The resulting compounds are called ionic compounds.

The second way for an atom to obtain an octet of electrons is by sharing electrons with another atom. These shared electrons simultaneously occupy the outermost shell of both atoms. The bond made by electron sharing is called a covalent bond. Covalent bonding and covalent compounds will be discussed in Chapter 4 “Covalent Bonding and Simple Molecular Compounds”.

At the end of chapter 2, we learned how to draw the electron dot symbols to represent the valence electrons for each of the elemental families. This skill will be instrumental in learning about ions and ionic bonding. Looking at Figure 3.1, observe the Noble Gas family of elements. The electron dot symbol for the Nobel Gas family clearly indicates that the valence electron shell is completely full with an octet of electrons. If you look at the other families, you can see how many electrons they will need to gain or lose to reach the octet state. Above, we noted that elements are the most stable when they can reach the octet state. However, it should also be noted that housing excessively high negative or positive charge is unfavorable. Thus, elements will reach the octet state and also maintain the lowest charge possible. You will note that for the IA, IIA, IIIA and transition metals groups, it is more economical to lose electrons (1-3 electrons) from their valence shells to reach the octet state, rather than to gain 5-7 electrons. Similarly main group columns VA, VIA, and VIIA tend to gain electrons (1-3) to complete their octet, rather than losing 5-7 electrons. Some atoms, like carbon, are directly in the middle. These atoms don’t like to gain or lose electrons, but tend to favor the sharing model of chemical bonding. The remaining sections of this chapter will focus on the formation of ions and the resulting ionic compounds.
