Answer:

Explanation:

Oxygen molecules and Nitrogen molecules forms in a very similar way. The attraction between particles of oxygen is great due to its very high electronegativity value. Oxygen has a higher electronegative value compared to nitrogen.

Electronegativity of an atom is the relative tendency with which atoms of an element attracts valence electrons in a chemical bond. Valence electrons are used in forming chemical bonds. They can be transferred from one atom to the other or they can be shared.

Oxygen is the second most electronegative atom on the periodic table. To form a bond, it shares the valence electrons in order for its octet to be complete. Pull for the valence electrons between the contributing atoms is very strong due to their large electronegative values. This pull is stronger compared to that between nitrogen atoms.

If a muriatic acid solution has a pH of 2.50, what is the hydronium ion concentration (hydronium ion concentration is also the m
Irina18 [472]

Answer:

  • [H₃O⁺] = 0.032 M

Explanation:

The acidity of a solution is measured by its pH, which is the logarithm of the inverse of the molar concentration of hydronium (H₃O⁺) ions:

  • pH = log 1 / [H₃O⁺] = - log [H₃O⁺]

When you know the pH value you can find hydronium concentration using the antilogaritm function:

pH=-log[H_3O^{+}]\\ \\ {[H_3O^+]}=10^{-pH}\\ \\ {[H_3O^+]}=10^{-2.50}\\ \\ {[H_3O^+]}=0.0032

The unit of molar concentration is M.

To prove your answer you can take the logarithm of 0.0316:

  • log (0.0032) ≈ 2.500

A galvanic (voltaic) cell consists of an electrode composed of chromium in a 1.0 M chromium(III) ion solution and another electr
svetlana [45]

Answer: The potential of the following electrochemical cell is 1.08 V.

Explanation:

E^0_(Cr^{3+}/Cr)=-0.74V[/tex]

E^0_(Cu^{2+}/Cu)=0.34V[/tex]

The element  with negative reduction potential will lose electrons undergo oxidation and thus act as anode.The element with positive reduction potential will gain electrons undergo reduction and thus acts as cathode.

Here Cr undergoes oxidation by loss of electrons, thus act as anode. copper undergoes reduction by gain of electrons and thus act as cathode.

2Cr+3Cu^{2+}\rightarrow 2Cr^{3+}+3Cu

E^0=E^0_{cathode}- E^0_{anode}

Where both E^0 are standard reduction potentials, when concentration is 1M.

E^0=E^0_{[Cu^{2+}/Ni]}- E^0_{[Cr^{3+}/Cr]}

E^0=0.34-(-0.74)=1.08V

Thus the potential of the following electrochemical cell is 1.08 V.

(a) Given that Ka for acetic acid is 1.8 X 10^-5 and that for hypochlorous acid is 3.0 X 10^-8, which is the stronger acid? (b)
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

HOAc is stronger acid than HClO

ClO⁻ is stronger conjugate base than OAc⁻

Kb(OAc⁻) = 5.5 x 10⁻¹⁰

Kb(ClO⁻) = 3.3 x 10⁻⁷

Explanation:

Assume 0.10M HOAc => H⁺ + OAc⁻  with Ka = 1.8 x 10⁻⁵

=> [H⁺] = √Ka·[Acid] =√(1.8 x 10⁻⁵)(0.10) M = 1.3 x 10⁻³M H⁺

Assume 0.10M HClO => H⁺ + ClO⁻ with Ka = 3 x 10⁻⁸

=> [H⁺] = √(3 x 10⁻⁸)(0.10)M = 5.47 x 10⁻⁵M H⁺

HOAc delivers more H⁺ than HClO and is more acidic.

Kb = Kw/Ka, Kw = 1 x 10⁻¹⁴

Kb(OAc⁻) = 5.5 x 10⁻¹⁰

Kb(ClO⁻) = 3.3 x 10⁻⁷
