You are given two unknown acids, HX and H2Y, and two values for Ka, 1x10^-7 and 1x10^9. You know that X is a much more electrone

gative atom than Y. Which Ka value goes with which acid? 1. Choice (1) HX has a Ka of 1x10-7 and H2Y has a Ka of 1x10 2. Choice (2) HX has a Ka of 1x109 and H2Y has a Ka of 1x107 Explain your reasoning.

Answer:

.

Explanation

In HX , X is more electronegative than Y so HX will ionise more because of  ionic bond between H and X . On the other hand H₂Y will be less polar as compared to HX so it will ionise to a lesser extent . Hence Ka will be more for HX . Ka represents the degree of ionisation of acid . Higher the ionisation , higher is the value of Ka . H₂Y which is less polar will ionise less and hence it will have lesser value of Ka .

Hence H₂Y will have value of 10⁻⁷ and HX will have value of ka equal to 10⁹ .

Naming ionic compounds what are the structural units that make up ionic compounds and how are they named answers
Marizza181 [45]
Ionic compounds are the combination of two elements, one of which is a metal, while the other is a nonmetal. The intermolecular forces binding them is called an ionic bond. To name an ionic compound, take the name of the metal element first, followed by the nonmetal, but adding the suffix -ide. For example, NaCl is named as sodium chloride.

Suppose you are working in a chemistry lab and trying to make a solution of a substance called Sodium Chloride (which is a solid
Alenkasestr [34]

Answer:

a weighing balance, a measuring cylinder, a spatula, a beaker/flask, and a stirrer

Explanation:

The lab apparatus that would be needed to prepare a solution of sodium chloride would be <em>a weighing balance, a measuring cylinder, a spatula, a beaker/flask, and a stirrer.</em>

The weighing balance would be used to weigh out the required amount of sodium chloride. The beaker or flask would be placed on the weighing balance and its weight zeroed. The spatula would then be sued to take out the sodium chloride from its container into the beaker till the required amount is reached. The measuring cylinder would then be used to measure out the required volume of water which would be added to the salt in the beaker. The stirrer would then be used to stir the mixture in order for the salt to dissolve.
