Answer:

Based on the Modern Periodic table, there is an increase in the electropositivity of the atom down the group as well as increases across a period. On comparing the electropositivities of the mentioned oxides central atom, it is seen that Ca is most electropositive followed by Al, Si, C, P, and S is the least electropositive.

With the decrease in the electropositivity, there is an increase in the acidity of the oxides. Thus, the increasing order of the oxides from the least acidic to the most acidic is:

CaO > Al2O3 > SiO2 > CO2 > P2O5 > SO3. Hence, CaO is the least acidic and SO3 is the most acidic.

. In which reaction is nitric acid acting as an oxidising agent?

Talja [164]

Answer:

B. Cu + 4HNO3 → Cu(NO3)2 + 2H2O + 2NO2

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we should understand oxidizing agents as those substances able to increase the oxidation state of another substance, therefore, in B. reaction we notice that copper oxidation state at the beginning is zero (no bonds are formed) and once it reacts with nitric acid, its oxidation states raises to +2 in copper (II) nitrate, thus, in B. Cu + 4HNO3 → Cu(NO3)2 + 2H2O + 2NO2 nitritc acid is acting as the oxidizing agent.

Moreover, in the other reactions, copper (A.), sodium (C. and D.) remain with the same initial oxidation state, +2 and +1 respectively.

Regards.

How does photosynthesis and cellular respiration depend on each other

Monica [59]

Photosynthesis is the process where plants create energy. It requires water, carbon dioxide and sunlight. The end result is glucose, which the plants consume, and oxygen. Cellular respiration requires oxygen and glucose. The end result is carbon dioxide, ATP, and water.

Complete the dissociation reaction and the corresponding Ka equilibrium expression for each of the following acids in water. (Ty

anastassius [24]

Answer :

(A) The dissociation reaction of $HC_2H_3O_2$ will be:

$HC_2H_3O_2(aq)\rightleftharpoons H^+(aq)+C_2H_3O_2^-(aq)$

The equilibrium expression :

$K_a=\frac{[H^+][C_2H_3O_2^-]}{[HC_2H_3O_2]}$

(B) The dissociation reaction of $Co(H_2O)_6^{3+}$ will be:

$Co(H_2O)_6^{3+}(aq)\rightleftharpoons H^+(aq)+Co(H_2O)_5(OH)^{2+}(aq)$

The equilibrium expression :

$K_a=\frac{[H^+][Co(H_2O)_5(OH)^{2+}]}{[Co(H_2O)_6^{3+}]}$

(C) The dissociation reaction of $CH_3NH_3^+$ will be:

$CH_3NH_3^+(aq)\rightleftharpoons H^+(aq)+CH_3NH_2(aq)$

The equilibrium expression :

$K_a=\frac{[H^+][CH_3NH_2]}{[CH_3NH_3^+]}$

Explanation :

Equilibrium constant : It is defined as the equilibrium constant. It is defined as the ratio of concentration of products to the concentration of reactants.

The equilibrium expression for the reaction is determined by multiplying the concentrations of products and divided by the concentrations of the reactants and each concentration is raised to the power that is equal to the coefficient in the balanced reaction.

As we know that the concentrations of pure solids and liquids are constant that is they do not change. Thus, they are not included in the equilibrium expression.

(A) The dissociation reaction of $HC_2H_3O_2$ will be:

$HC_2H_3O_2(aq)\rightleftharpoons H^+(aq)+C_2H_3O_2^-(aq)$

The equilibrium expression of $HC_2H_3O_2$ will be:

$K_a=\frac{[H^+][C_2H_3O_2^-]}{[HC_2H_3O_2]}$

(B) The dissociation reaction of $Co(H_2O)_6^{3+}$ will be:

$Co(H_2O)_6^{3+}(aq)\rightleftharpoons H^+(aq)+Co(H_2O)_5(OH)^{2+}(aq)$

The equilibrium expression of $Co(H_2O)_6^{3+}$ will be:

$K_a=\frac{[H^+][Co(H_2O)_5(OH)^{2+}]}{[Co(H_2O)_6^{3+}]}$

(C) The dissociation reaction of $CH_3NH_3^+$ will be:

$CH_3NH_3^+(aq)\rightleftharpoons H^+(aq)+CH_3NH_2(aq)$

The equilibrium expression of $CH_3NH_3^+$ will be:

$K_a=\frac{[H^+][CH_3NH_2]}{[CH_3NH_3^+]}$
