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 .

The atomic mass is the sum of the number of ________ and ________ in the nucleus of an atom. Choose two answers from the options
iVinArrow [24]

Answer :

The atomic mass is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.

Explanation :

Atomic number : it is defined as the number of protons or number of electrons.

Atomic number = number of protons = number of electrons

Mass number or atomic mass : It is defined as the sum of the number of protons and the number of neutrons.

Mass number or atomic mass = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

For example :

Number of protons in carbon = 6

Number of neutrons in carbon = 6

Mass number or atomic mass = Number of protons + Number of neutrons

Mass number or atomic mass = 6 + 6

Mass number or atomic mass = 12

Thus, the atomic mass is the sum of the number of protons and neutrons in the nucleus of an atom.

Write a balanced half-reaction for the oxidation of aqueous hydrazine N2H4 to gaseous nitrogen N2 in basic aqueous solution
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

N2H2(aq) + 2OH^-(aq) ----------> N2(g) + 2H2O(l) + 2e

Explanation:

Hydrazine is mostly used in thermal engineering as an anticorrosive agent. Hydrazine can be oxidized in aqueous solution as shown in the equation above. Oxidation has to do with loss of electrons and increase in oxidation number.

The oxidation number of nitrogen in the equation increased from -1 in hydrazine on the lefthand side of the reaction equation to zero in nitrogen on the right hand side of the reaction equation. Two electrons were lost in the process as shown.

Which nonmetal would an ion of Ca2+ MOST LIKELY ionically bond with in a 1:1 ratio? A) one atom of neon B) one atom of carbon C)
GalinKa [24]
Ca2+ would bond to any element in a 1 to 1 ratio that had an equal and opposite charge.

Neon is a noble gas, and doesn’t form bonds m

Carbon isn’t typically found in ion state, but if it did, it would likely by C4+

Flouring in ionic state is F1-, so you would need 2 flourines to cancel the 2+ charge of Calcium

Then the only option left would be Oxygen which, when in ion form is found be 2-
