Debora [2.8K]3 years ago

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The answer is A, when you drawing the electron diagrams for each element you should draw all the electron for given element.

In the example of sodium and chlorine:

Sodium : 1s2, 2s2 2p6, 3s1

Chlorine: 1s2, 2s2, 2p6, 3s2 3p5

All the electron on the 1 and 2 levels will not be used to this representation because they will not leave the valence band. Only the electrons in the 3 level will interact in this example.

Remember that the sodium will lose an electron and become an cation. This happens because all the element will look for a stable form with the last band having 8 electron.

The chlorine will receive an electron, so the last band will have 8 electron.

Suppose we have a compound that is 4.330 % Li, 22.10 % Cl, 39.89 % O, and 33.69 % H2O. What is the compounds formula?
amid [387]

The  formula   of compound is   LiClO4.3H2O


      <em><u>calculation</u></em>

  • <em><u>  </u></em>find the mole  of  each element

        that is  moles for Li,Cl,O and that of H2O

  • moles = % composition/ molar mass

       For Li = 4.330/ 6.94 g/mol=  0.624 moles

             Cl=22.10/35.5=0.623  moles

           39.89/16 g/mol =2.493  moles

           H20=  33.69/18 g/mol=  1.872  moles

  • find  the mole ratio  by  dividing each moles by smallest number of mole ( 0.624 moles)

        that  is  for  Li= 0.624/0.623=  1

                             Cl= 0.623/0.623=1

                             O = 2.493/0.623 =4

                          H2O= 1.872/0.623=3

<h3>Therefore the formula=LiClO4.3H2O</h3><h3 />

Which animals use the specialized roles of diver and barrier while participating in cooperative hunting?
amm1812
I believe the answer is The Dolphins.
In their Cooperative hunting, The dolphins requires five of its members to form of barrier while one or two of them are herding (Driving) their preys toward the barriers. And each dolphins will always play the same role in their group just like what we see in a football team.

Hydrogen iodide is not produced by the same method as for hydrogen chloride.why??
lara [203]

Answer:

Using Phosphoric acid will work perfectly for producing Hydrogen halides because its not an Oxidizing agent. ...

Using an ionic chloride and Phosphoric acid

H3PO4 + NaCl ==> HCl + NaH2PO4

H3PO4 + NaI ==> HI + NaH2PO4

H2SO4 + NaCl ==> HCl + NaHSO4

This method(Using H2So4) will work for all hydrogen hydrogen halide except Hydrogen Iodide and Hydrogen Bromide.

The Sulphuric acid won't be useful for producing Hydrogen Iodide because its an OXIDIZING AGENT. Whist producing the Hydrogen Iodide... Some of the Iodide ions are oxidized to Iodine.

Indicate which solution in each pair has the lower pH. Your response should be a four letter "word". The first letter should be
JulijaS [17]

Answer:

bcfh

Explanation:

HClO₄ reacts with water thus:

HClO₄ + H₂O → H₃O⁺ + ClO₄⁻

That means HClO₄ produce H₃O⁺ that decreases pH. That means the higher concentration of HClO₄ decreases pH. Thus, lower pH will be:

b) 0.2 M HClO4

The reaction of NaClO₄ is:

NaClO₄ + H₂O → OH⁻ + HClO₄ + Na⁺

The higher concentration of NaClO₄ the higher production of OH⁻ that increase pH, that means the lower concentration of NaClO₄ the lower pH, thus, the answer is:

<em>c) 0.1 M NaClO or</em>

HF reacts with water thus;

HF ⇄ H⁺ + F⁻

The equilibrium constant is:

k = [H⁺] [F⁻] / [HF] = 3,5x10⁻⁴

For HNO₂ equilibrium is:

HNO₂ ⇄ H⁺ + NO₂⁻

k = [H⁺] [NO₂⁻] / [HNO₂] = 4,5x10⁻⁴

As k value is higher for HNO₂, the concentration of H⁺ will be higher in this system doing the HNO₂ with the lower pH.

f) 0.1 M HNO2

NaOH is a strong base that produce OH⁻ that increase pH, pure water is neutral, thus, the lowe pH is:

h) pure water

I hope it helps!

A chemist adds 485 mL of a 0.0025 mol/L calcium sulfate solution to a reaction flask. Calculate the mass in grams of calcium sul
viva [34]

Answer : The mass in grams of calcium sulfate is 0.16 grams.

Explanation :

Molarity : It is defined as the number of moles of solute present in one litre of solution.

Formula used :

Molarity=\frac{\text{Mass of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Molar mass of solute}\times \text{Volume of solution}}

Solute is, CaSO_4

Given:

Molarity of CaSO_4 = 0.0025 mol/L

Molar mass of CaSO_4 = 136 g/mole

Volume of solution = 485 mL

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get:

0.0025=\frac{\text{Mass of }CaSO_4\times 1000}{136\times 485}

\text{Mass of }CaSO_4=0.16g

Thus, the mass in grams of calcium sulfate is 0.16 grams.
