How are acids and ionic compounds similar?

Chemistry

Answer: Ionic compounds are held together by the virtue of their opposing charges. Na+Cl- for example. If we consider Hg+(2Cl-)2, a mercuric chloride, the solubility is much less. Ba++(SO)4 Barium Sulphate, is highly insoluble; all differ by the relative attractiveness by Differing opposing charge(s).

Acids are very similar, consider Formic Acid, HCOOH, the simplest of the Carboxylic Acids. It dissociates more than say Benzoic Acid, C6H5-COOH. But neither disassociate as fully as Nitric Acid HNO3.

So the relative disassociation of the H+ (proton), or H3O+, (Hydronium ion), from any of these in water vary for a number of reasons we need not consider now.

Here is a “Tricky One!” (And very nasty). Take HF liquid or gas. This is one of the strongest acids on Earth - AS A LIQUID compound OR GAS. It will dissociate essentially near completion! Eat the floor, and is very dangerous.

NOW - HF (aqueous). The HF is in water. Very like HCl? NO! Why you may ask...The Electrophilic nature of Fluorine, “bathed in water, with an H+ all its own”, doesn’t let it go as easily!

HF is HIGHLY ordered in water, you can almost imagine a sort of “Hydrated matrix”, little HFs in endless rows...

BUT BE WARNED - even the aqueous HF is so reactive it will dissolve bone!

(I was told it was extremely painful; and did not appear to heal for weeks!)

Explanation: so, both types of compounds have a similarity, held together by the strength of their opposing charges or the degree of dissociation, (using water for simplicity).

That should do it.

What is the concentration of bromide, in ppm, if 12.41 g MgBr2 is dissolved in 2.55 L water.
pav-90 [236]

Answer:

concentration of bromide (Br⁻) = 4234 mg/L = 4234 ppm

Explanation:

ppm (parts per million) concentration is defined as the mass (in milligrams) of a substance dissolved in one liter of solution.

In our case we have:

mass of MgBr₂ = 12.41 g

volume of water (which is equal to the final solution volume) = 2.55 L

Now we devise the following reasoning:

if         12.41 g of MgBr₂ are dissolved in 2.55 L of water

then         X g of MgBr₂ are dissolved in 1 L of water

X = (1 × 12.41) / 2.55 = 4.867 g of MgBr₂

if in         184 g (1 mole) of MgBr₂ we have 160 g of Br⁻

then in   4.867 g of MgBr₂ we have Y g of Br⁻

Y = (4.867 × 160) / 184 = 4.232 g of bromide (Br⁻)

4.232 g of bromide (Br⁻) = 4234 mg of bromide (Br⁻)

concentration of bromide (Br⁻) = 4234 mg/L = 4234 ppm

If 45.0 mL of ethanol (density=0.789 g/mL) initially at 9.0 C is mixed with 45.0 mL of water (density=1.0 g/mL) initially at 28.
Klio2033 [76]

Answer : The final temperature of the mixture is 22.7^oC

Explanation :

In this problem we assumed that heat given by the hot body is equal to the heat taken by the cold body.

q_1=-q_2

m_1\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-m_2\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)

And as we know that,

Mass = Density × Volume

Thus, the formula becomes,

(\rho_1\times V_1)\times c_1\times (T_f-T_1)=-(\rho_2\times V_2)\times c_2\times (T_f-T_2)

where,

c_1 = specific heat of ethanol = 2.3J/g^oC

c_2 = specific heat of water = 4.18J/g^oC

m_1 = mass of ethanol

m_2 = mass of water

\rho_1 = density of ethanol = 0.789 g/mL

\rho_2 = density of water = 1.0 g/mL

V_1 = volume of ethanol = 45.0 mL

V_2 = volume of water = 45.0 mL

T_f = final temperature of mixture = ?

T_1 = initial temperature of ethanol = 9.0^oC

T_2 = initial temperature of water = 28.6^oC

Now put all the given values in the above formula, we get

(0.789g/mL\times 45.0mL)\times (2.3J/g^oC)\times (T_f-9.0)^oC=-(1.0g/mL\times 45.0mL)\times 4.18J/g^oC\times (T_f-28.6)^oC

T_f=22.7^oC

Therefore, the final temperature of the mixture is 22.7^oC
