Protons are positively charged particles found within the atoms nucleus. Protons were discovered by Ernest Rutherford in experiments conducted between the years of 1911 and 1919.

Neutrons are uncharged particles found within atomic nuclei. Neutrons were discovered by James Chadwick in 1932.

Write a balanced net ionic equation for the reaction of aqueous solutions of baking soda (NaHCO3) and acetic acid.(A) HCO3–(aq)
IgorC [24]

<u>Answer:</u> The correct answer is Option C.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Net ionic equation of any reaction does not include any spectator ions.

Spectator ions are defined as the ions which does not get involved in a chemical equation. They are found on both the sides of the chemical reaction when it is present in ionic form.

The chemical equation for the reaction of sodium bicarbonate and acetic acid is given as:

NaHCO_3(aq.)+CH_3COOH(aq.)\rightarrow CH_3COONa(aq.)+H_2O(l)+CO_2(g)

Ionic form of the above equation follows:

Na^+(aq.)+HCO_3^-(aq.)+CH_3COO^-(aq.)+H^+(aq.)\rightarrow CH_3COO^-(aq.)+Na^+(aq.)+H_2O(l)+CO_2(g)

As, sodium and acetate ions are present on both the sides of the reaction. Thus, it will not be present in the net ionic equation and are spectator ions.

The net ionic equation for the above reaction follows:

HCO_3^-(aq.)+H^+(aq.)\rightarrow CO_2(g)+H_2O(l)

Hence, the correct answer is Option C.

You have 50 ml of a complex mixture of weak acids that contains some HF (pKa = 3.18) and some HCN (pKa = 9.21). Which is larger,
bonufazy [111]

Answer:

\frac{[F^{-}]}{[HF]} is larger

Explanation:

pK_{a}=-logK_{a} , where K_{a} is the acid dissociation constant.

For a monoprotic acid e.g. HA, K_{a}=\frac{[H^{+}][A^{-}]}{[HA]} and \frac{[A^{-}]}{[HA]}=\frac{K_{a}}{[H^{+}]}

So, clearly, higher the K_{a} value , lower will the the pK_{a}

In this mixture, at equilibrium, [H^{+}] will be constant.

K_{a} of HF is grater than K_{a} of HCN

Hence, (\frac{F^{-}}{[HF]}=\frac{K_{a}(HF)}{[H^{+}]})>(\frac{CN^{-}}{[HCN]}=\frac{K_{a}(HCN)}{[H^{+}]})

So, \frac{[F^{-}]}{[HF]} is larger

Iodine chloride, ICl, can be made by the following reaction between iodine, I2, potassium iodate, KIO3, and hydrochloric acid.
Vadim26 [7]
The balanced chemical reaction is:

<span>2 I2 + KIO3 + 6 HCl ---------> 5 ICl + KCl + 3 H2O 
</span>
We are given the amount of the product to be produced from the reaction. This will be the starting point of our calculations.

28.6 g ICl (1 mol / 162.35 g ICl ) ( 2 mol I2 / 5 mol ICl ) ( 253.81 g I2 / 1 mol I2 ) = 17.88 g I2

How many moles of KOH are required to produce 4.79 g K3PO4 according to the following reaction? 3KOH + H3PO4 -----&gt; K3PO4 + 3
8_murik_8 [283]

Answer:

0.677 moles

Explanation:

Take the atomic mass of K = 39.1, O =16.0, P = 31.0

no. of moles = mass / molar mass

no. of moles of K3PO4 used = 4.79 / (39.1x3 + 31 + 16x4)

= 0.02256 mol

From the equation, the mole ratio of KOH : K3PO4 = 3 :1,

meaning every 3 moles of KOH used, produces 1 mole of K3PO4.

So, using this ratio, let the no. of moles of KOH required to be y.

\frac{3}{1} =\frac{y}{0.02256} \\

y = 0.02256 x3

y = 0.0677 mol

If you don't find exactly 0.677 moles as one of the options, go for the closest one. A very slight error may occur because of taking different significant figures of atomic masses when calculating.
