Answer:
Explanation:
All three lighter boron trihalides, BX3 (X = F, Cl, Br), form stable adducts with common Lewis bases. Their relative Lewis acidities can be evaluated in terms of the relative exothermicities of the adduct-forming reaction. Such measurements have revealed the following sequence for the Lewis acidity: BF3 < BCl3 < BBr3 (in other words, BBr3 is the strongest Lewis acid).
This trend is commonly attributed to the degree of π-bonding in the planar boron trihalide that would be lost upon pyramidalization (the conversion of the trigonal planar geometry to a tetrahedral one) of the BX3 molecule, which follows this trend: BF3 > BCl3 > BBr3 (that is, BBr3 is the most easily pyramidalized). The criteria for evaluating the relative strength of π-bonding are not clear, however. One suggestion is that the F atom is small compared to the larger Cl and Br atoms, and the lone pair electron in the 2pzorbital of F is readily and easily donated, and overlaps with the empty 2pz orbital of boron. As a result, the [latex]\pi[/latex] donation of F is greater than that of Cl or Br. In an alternative explanation, the low Lewis acidity for BF3 is attributed to the relative weakness of the bond in the adducts F3B-L.
Answer:
a. 9.2
b. 4.4
c. 6.3
Explanation:
In order to calculate the pH of each solution, we will use the definition of pH.
pH = -log [H⁺]
(a) [H⁺] = 5.4 × 10⁻¹⁰ M
pH = -log [H⁺] = -log 5.4 × 10⁻¹⁰ = 9.2
Since pH > 7, the solution is basic.
(b) [H⁺] = 4.3 × 10⁻⁵ M
pH = -log [H⁺] = -log 4.3 × 10⁻⁵ = 4.4
Since pH < 7, the solution is acid.
(c) [H⁺] = 5.4 × 10⁻⁷ M
pH = -log [H⁺] = -log 5.4 × 10⁻⁷ = 6.3
Since pH < 7, the solution is acid.
The answer is most definitely “A”
Answer:
390
Explanation:
Specific heat capacity= heat/mass × temperature
Remember you convert gram into kilogram and 1 gram =0.001 kilogram
Because the proton has a mass of 1 and a neutron has a mass of 1, we know that there is exactly one proton in the nucleus (because of the atomic number) which therefore tells us there are no neutrons as adding one would make the mass more than one.
