Chemistry

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

Anyone think they can help me with this one?

To name this Alkyne, simply count from the direction that will give the lowest starting number to appear at the beginning of the carbon triple bond.

If you were to count from the top of the chain, the position of the carbon next to the triple bond would be 4. Yet if you count from the bottom chain going left to right and above the chain, the position of the carbon next to the triple bond would be 3.

Then identify the groups that are connected off the parent chain, here we have a methyl group on carbon 2.

Thus the name would be 2 - methyl - 3 - heptyne. I believe.

Which of the following do scientists use to form a hypothesis?
Debora [2.8K]

Explanation:

The scientific method involves making observations and asking questions. Scientists form hypotheses based on these observations and then develop controlled experiments to collecting and analyze data. Using this data, they are able to draw conclusions and form questions for new scientific research.

What is the mass number of an atom containing 35 protons and 45 neutrons?
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Weight = 35 P and 45 N = 80

2. Atom:  35P = 35 electrons

3. Bromine

4. It's a non metal. It's in column 17. It will gain 1 electron (normally).

5. Ion: 35 protons, 36 electrons

6. Charge: - 1 usually, but there are exceptions

7. Anions go to the Anode. The anode attracts minus charged elements.

8. In an uncharged state, element 36 would be next. That would be  Krypton which is always uncharged. It is a noble gas.

For the reaction 2H2O > 2H2 + O2 what is the total number of moles of O2 produced from the complete decomposition of 8 moles
LekaFEV [45]

Answer: Option C) 4 moles

Explanation:

The reaction below shows the decomposition of 2 moles of water to yeild 2 moles of hydrogen and 1 mole of oxygen respectively.

2H2O(l) --> 2H2(g) + O2 (g)

So, if 2 moles of H2O produce 1 mole of O2

8 moles of H2O will produce Z mole of O2

To get the value of Z, cross multiply

2 x Z = 1 x 8

2Z = 8

Z = 8/2

Z = 4

Thus, 4 moles of O2 is produced from the complete decomposition of 8 moles H2O .
