Answer:

A) HCl > HClO > HBrO > HIO

Explanation:

The strength of an acid is related to the acid dissociation constant (Ka). This is the equilibrium constant for an acid. The higher the Ka, the stronger the acid.

An easier way to compare the strength of acids is through their pKa, where

pKa = -log Ka

The lower the pKa, the stronger the acid.

Let's consider the following acids and their pKa values:

HCl -7

HClO 7.54

HBrO 8.62

HIO 10.64

The order of decreasing acid strength is:

A) HCl > HClO > HBrO > HIO

How many moles are in 325mL of 1.25M (NH4)2SO4

mote1985 [20]

Answer:

$n_{solute}=0.406mol(NH_4)_2SO_4$

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, since the molarity is defined as the ratio of the moles of the solute to the volume of the solution in liters:

$M=\frac{n_{solute}}{V_{solution}}$

For the given volume and molarity, we solve for the moles of ammonium sulfate (solute) as shown below:

$n_{solute}=M*V_{solution}=1.25\frac{mol}{L}*325mL*\frac{1L}{1000mL} \\\\n_{solute}=0.406mol(NH_4)_2SO_4$

Best regards.

A sample of oxygen gas has a volume of 45.8 mL when its pressure is 0.492 atm. What

White raven [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

$P_1=0.492\:atm\\V_1 = 45.8\:ml\\V_2 = ?\\P_1 = 0.954\:atm\\\\Boyle's Law = P_1V_1 = P_2V_2\\\\Lets \:make\: V \:subject\:of\:the\:formula\\\\\frac{P_1V_1}{P_2} = \frac{P_2V_2}{P_2} \\ \\V_2 =\frac{P_1V_1}{P_2} \\V_2 = \frac{0.492\times45.8}{0.954}\\ \\V_2 = \frac{22.5336}{0.954} \\\\V_2 = 23.620\\\\V_2 = 23.6$

Which of the following statements related to S N1 reactions is not true? - The heterolysis of a bond between atoms which do not

Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

The charged carbon atom of a carbocation has a complete octet of valence shell electrons

Explanation:

A charged carbon atom of a carbocation has a valence shell that is not filled, <u>that's why it acts as an electrophile (or a Lewis base)</u>. This unfilled valence shell is also the reason of the nucleophilic attack that takes place during the second step of a SN1 reaction.
