Answer:

a) Cl, 17 protons and 17 electrons

Explanation:

The elements of group 17 are called halogens. These are six elements Fluorine, Chlorine, Bromine, Iodine, Astatine. The atomic number of chlorine is 17. Its means it has 17 protons and 17 electrons.

The sum of neutrons and protons is the mass number of an atom while the number of protons are number of electrons is the atomic number of an atom. Thus the atomic mass of chlorine will be 17+18 = 35 amu

Number protons = 17

Number of electrons = 17

Number of neutrons = 18

Properties of Chlorine:

1. it is greenish-yellow irritating gas.

2. its melting point is 172.2 K

3. its boiling point is 238.6 K

4. it is disinfectant and can kill the bacteria.

5. it is also used in manufacturing of paper, paints and textile industries.

Calculate the pH of a solution prepared by mixing: (Show your work for these calculations) pk of acetic acid is 4.75 a. two mole

kupik [55]

Answer:

Explanation:

To calculate pH you need to use Henderson-Hasselbalch formula:

pH = pka + log₁₀ $\frac{[A^-]}{[HA]}$

Where HA is the acid concentration and A⁻ is the conjugate base concentration.

The equilibrium of acetic acid is:

CH₃COOH ⇄ CH₃COO⁻ + H⁺ pka: 4,75

Where CH₃COOH is the acid and CH₃COO⁻ is the conjugate base.

Thus, Henderson-Hasselbalch formula for acetic acid equilibrium is:

pH = 4,75 + log₁₀ $\frac{[CH_{3}COO^-]}{[CH_{3}COOH]}$

a) The pH is:

pH = 4,75 + log₁₀ $\frac{[2 mol]}{[2 mol]}$

pH = 4,75

b) The pH is:

pH = 4,75 + log₁₀ $\frac{[2 mol]}{[1mol]}$

pH = 5,05

Classify the bonds formed between each pair as ionic, polar covalent, or nonpolar covalent based solely on each element's positi

Amanda [17]

you have to find the differences of electronegativity for the atoms joined by the bond. if their diff is <0.4,
then it's non-polar if it's between 0.4 to 1.7
then it's polar 1.7 and up it's ionic Electronegativity values can be found on most periodic tables.

A fish is removed from a contaminated lake. You determine that a particular toxin (X) is present in its cells at concentration X

netineya [11]

The level of toxins in the fish's cell is equivalent to the level of toxins in the water. Therefore, in order to reduce the toxins further, we should replace the now contaminated water with clean water. After the level of toxins in the fish's cell stops reducing, we replace the water with clean water once again.

maria [59]

The compound NaCI is an example of a salt. Salt is formed from a neutralization action of an acid and a base. From the type of reaction itself, we can say that the pH should be neutral or at pH 7.0. No matter what type of acid or base is used.
