Alik [6]
<span>Answer: A 1.00 L solution containing 3.00x10^-4 M Cu(NO3)2 and 2.40x10^-3 M ethylenediamine (en). contains 0.000300 moles of Cu(NO3)2 and 0.00240 moles of ethylenediamine by the formula Cu(en)2^2+ 0.000300 moles of Cu(NO3)2 reacts with twice as many moles of en = 0.000600 mol of en so, 0.00240 moles of ethylenediamine - 0.000600 mol of en reacted = 0.00180 mol en remains by the formula Cu(en)2^2+ 0.000300 moles of Cu(NO3)2 reacts to form an equal 0.000300 moles of Cu(en)2^2+ Kf for Cu(en)2^2+ is 1x10^20. so 1 Cu+2 & 2 en --> Cu(en)2^2+ Kf = [Cu(en)2^2+] / [Cu+2] [en]^2 1x10^20. = [0.000300] / [Cu+2] [0.00180 ]^2 [Cu+2] = [0.000300] / (1x10^20) (3.24 e-6) Cu+2 = 9.26 e-19 Molar since your Kf has only 1 sig fig, you might be expected to round that off to 9 X 10^-19 Molar Cu+2</span>

Give the formulas of the compounds in each set (a) lead(l|) oxide and lead(lV) oxide; (b) lithium nitride, lithium nitrite, and
Ivanshal [37]

<u>Answer:</u>

<u>For a:</u> The formula of lead (II) oxide and lead (IV) oxide is PbO\text{ and }PbO_2 respectively.

<u>For b:</u> The formula of lithium nitride, lithium nitrite and lithium nitrate is Li_3N,LiNO_2\text{ and }LiNO_3 respectively.

<u>For c:</u> The formula of Strontium hydride and strontium hydroxide is SrH_2\text{ and }Sr(OH)_2 respectively.

<u>For d:</u> The formula of magnesium oxide and manganese (II) oxide is MgO\text{ and }MnO respectively.

<u>Explanation:</u>

All the given compounds are ionic compounds. This means that between the atoms complete sharing of electrons takes place.

  • <u>For a:</u>

Lead is the 82th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of [Xe]4f^{14}5d^{10}6s^26p^2.

To form Pb^{2+} ion, this element will loose 2 electrons and to form Pb^{4+} ion, this element will loose 4 electrons.

Oxygen is the 8th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of [He]2s^22p^4.

To form O^{2-} ion, this element will gain 2 electrons.

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for lead (II) oxide is PbO and for lead (IV) oxide is PbO_2

Thus, the formula of lead (II) oxide and lead (IV) oxide is PbO\text{ and }PbO_2 respectively.

  • <u>For b:</u>

Lithium is the 3rd element of periodic table having electronic configuration of [He]2s^1.

To form Li^{+} ion, this element will loose 1 electron.

Nitrogen is the 7th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of [He]2s^22p^3.

To form N^{3-} ion, this element will gain 3 electrons.

Nitrite ion is a polyatomic ion having chemical formula of NO_2^{-}

Nitrate ion is a polyatomic ion having chemical formula of NO_3^{-}

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for lithium nitride is Li_3N, for lithium nitrite is LiNO_2 and for lithium nitrate is LiNO_3

Thus, the formula of lithium nitride, lithium nitrite and lithium nitrate is Li_3N,LiNO_2\text{ and }LiNO_3 respectively.

  • <u>For c:</u>

Strontium is the 38th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of [Kr]5s^2.

To form Sr^{2+} ion, this element will loose 2 electrons.

Hydrogen is the 1st element of periodic table having electronic configuration of 1s^1.

To form H^{-} ion, this element will gain 1 electron and is named as hydride ion.

Hydroxide ion is a polyatomic ion having chemical formula of OH^{-}

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for strontium hydride is SrH_2 and for strontium hydroxide is Sr(OH)_2

Thus, the formula of Strontium hydride and strontium hydroxide is SrH_2\text{ and }Sr(OH)_2 respectively.

  • <u>For d:</u>

Magnesium is the 12th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of [Ne]3s^2.

To form Mg^{2+} ion, this element will loose 2 electrons.

Manganese is the 25th element of the periodic table having electronic configuration of [Ar]3d^54s^2

To form Mn^{2+} ion, this element will loose 2 electrons.

Oxygen is the 8th element of periodic table having electronic configuration of [He]2s^22p^4.

To form O^{2-} ion, this element will gain 2 electrons.

By criss-cross method, the oxidation state of the ions gets exchanged and they form the subscripts of the other ions. This results in the formation of a neutral compound.

So, the chemical formula for magnesium oxide is MgO and for manganese (II) oxide is MnO.

Thus, the formula of magnesium oxide and manganese (II) oxide is MgO\text{ and }MnO respectively.

A quantity of water vapor at 100​°​C is condensed to liquid water at the same temperature. In the process, 180,414.08 joules of
salantis [7]

Answer:

0.08kg

Explanation:

Given parameters:

Temperature of water  = 100°C

Quantity of heat released = 180414.08J

Unknown:

Quantity of water condensed  = ?

Solution:

This is simple phase change process without any attendant change in temperature.

To solve this problem, use the formula below;

             H  = mL

H is the heat released

m is mass

L is the latent heat of condensation of water  = 2260 kJ/kg

 Insert the parameters and solve;

       180,414.08 = m x  22.6 x 10⁵ J/kg

         m  = \frac{180414.08}{2260000}   = 0.08kg

Which of the following reactions is a double displacement reaction? A) HCI (9) - Hz (g) + Cl2 (9) B) HCI (aq) + NaOH (aq) - H2O
Marianna [84]

Answer:

HCI (aq) + NaOH (aq) --> H2O (l) + NaCl (aq)

Explanation:

A double displacement reaction is a type of reaction where two reactants exchange ions to form two new compounds. Here we can see that both the acid and the base exchanged an ion each to for salt and water, 2 new products.
