Answer:

Explanation:

pH is defined as the negative logarithm of the concentration of hydrogen ions.

Thus,

pH = - log [H⁺]

Thus, from the formula, more the concentration of the hydrogen ions or more the acidic the solution is, the less is the pH value of the solution.

Thus, solution with pH = 3 will be more acidic than solution with pH =4

Thus, concentration of the [H⁺] when pH =3

3 = - log [H⁺]

[H⁺] = 10⁻³ M

For pH = 4, [H⁺] = 10⁻⁴ M

hence, pH = 3 is 10 times more acidic than pH = 4

What volume (in mL) of a 0.200 MHNO3 solution is required to completely react with 27.6 mL of a 0.100 MNa2CO3 solution according

ladessa [460]

Answer:

There is 27.6 mL of a 0.200 M HNO3 solution required

Explanation:

Step 1: The balanced equation is:

Na2CO3(aq)+2HNO3(aq)→2NaNO3(aq)+CO2(g)+H2O(l)

This means for 1 mole Na2CO3 consumed, there is consumed 2 mole of HNO3 and there is produced 2 moles of NaNO3, 1 mole of CO2 and 1 mole of H2O

Step 2: Calculating moles of Na2CO3

moles of Na2CO3 =volume of Na2CO3 * Molarity of Na2CO3

moles of Na2CO3 = 27.6 *10^-3 * 0.1 M = 0.00276 moles

Step 3: Calculating moles of HNO3

In the balanced equation, we can see that for 1 mole of Na2CO3 consumed, there are consumed 2 moles of HNO3.

So for 0.00276 moles consumed of Na2CO3, there are consumed 0.00552 moles of HNO3.

This means 0.00276 moles of the base Na2CO3 would react with 0.00552 moles of the acid HNO3

Step 4: Calculating the volume of HNO3

volume of HNO3 = moles of HNO3 / Molarity of HNO3

volume of HNO3 = 0.00552 moles / 0.200 M = 0.0276 L

0.0276 L = 27.6 ml

There is 27.6 mL of a 0.200 M HNO3 solution required

1. A 10 g gold coin is heated from 25°C to 50°C (CAu is 0.13 J/g-°C). What is the H?

Oksanka [162]

The correct answer is + 32.5 J because heat is absorbed here by copper not evolved also after calculation we will find the H value is positive, lets calculate it:
H = m C Δt where:
m = 10 g
C = 0.13 J/g.°C
Δ t = final temperature - initial temperature = 50 - 25 = + 25 °C
so H = 10 x 0.13 x (+25) = + 32.5 J

Arrange the elements in decreasing order of first ionization energy.

just olya [345]

Answer:

The decreasing order of first ionization energy: Se > Ge > In > Cs

The decreasing order of first ionization energy: x > y > z

Explanation:

Ionization energy refers to the energy needed to completely pull out an electron from the valence shell of a neutral gaseous atom.

First ionization energy is the energy involved in the removal of first valence electron.

In the periodic table, down the group, as atomic radius of elements increases, the ionization energy decreases

Whereas, across a period, as atomic radius of elements decreases, the ionization energy increases.

PART (A):

Position of the given elements in the periodic table:

Indium (In): Group 13, period 5

Germanium (Ge): Group 14, period 4

Selenium (Se): Group 16, period 4

Caesium (Cs): Group 1, period 6

Thus, the increasing order of atomic radius: Se < Ge < In < Cs

Therefore, the decreasing order of first ionization energy: Se > Ge > In > Cs

PART (B):

Given elements:

element x: radius = 110 pm

element y: radius = 199 pm

element z: radius = 257 pm

Thus, the increasing order of atomic radius: x < y < z

Therefore, the decreasing order of first ionization energy: x > y > z

Which isotope is used to date ancient artifacts such as fossils?

RideAnS [48]

Scientists use carbon-14 to date ancient fossils.

Plants and animals absorb carbon-14 produced by cosmic rays. The ratio of C-14 to C-12 is constant when they are alive.

When they die, the C-14 decays to C-12, and the ratio changes.

Carbon-14 has a half-life of 5730 years. Thus, the object loses half its C-14 every 5730 years.

Scientists can use the C-14 to C-12 ratio to date fossils up to 70 000 years old.
