Explanation:

More is the electronegativity of atoms attached to the alpha carbon atom more will be the attraction of electron towards it. As a result, release of hydrogen ion will be easier.

Therefore, there will be increased in acidity of the compound.

Since, fluorine, chlorine and bromine are all group 17 elements and fluorine is more reactive than chlorine. On the other hand, chlorine is more reactive than bromine.

Hence, ability to attract the electrons towards itself will be maximum in fluorine and least in bromine.

Therefore, decreasing order of acidity of the given compounds is as follows.

        CF_{3}COOH >  CCl_{3}COOH > CBr_{3}COOH > CH_{3}COOH

What happens to the potassium atom when it reacts with the chlorine atom? What is the electron configuration of the potassium af
hodyreva [135]

Answer:

See explanation

Explanation:

Potassium is a metal. Remember that metals are electropositive in nature. This implies that they give out electrons when they undergo ionic bonding with nonmetals.

Chlorine is a nonmetal. So the bond between chlorine and potassium is ionic.  Potassium gives out one electron to chlorine and the both ions now attain a stable octet.

The electronic configuration of potassium is [Ar]4s1. After giving out an electron to chlorine in an ionic bond, its electronic configuration is now [Ar].

2. Which of the following expressions is generally used for solubility? (1 point)
miskamm [114]

<u>Answer:</u>

For 2: The correct answer is grams of solute per 100 grams of solvent.

For 3: The correct answer is supersaturated.

For 4: the correct answer is the solubility decreases.

<u>Explanation:</u>

  • <u>For 2:</u>

Solubility is defined as the property which refers to the ability of the solute that can be dissolved in a solvent. It is defined as the number of grams of  solute per 100 grams of solvent.

  • <u>For 3:</u>

Unsaturated solution is defined as the solution in which amount of solute that is dissolved in the solvent is less.

Saturated solution is defined as the solution in which no more solute can be dissolved in the given amount of solvent.

Emulsion is defined as the dispersion of one liquid in another liquid in which it is not soluble.

Supersaturated solution is defined as the solution in which solvent contains more amount of solute than the required amount. These solutions help in the process of crystallization.

When a crystal is added to a <u>supersaturated solution</u>, more and more particles come out of the solution and this process is known as crystallization.

  • <u>For 4:</u>

According to the Henry's Law

The solubility of the gas in a liquid is directly proportional to the partial pressure of the gas.

\text{Solubility of a gas in a liquid}\propto \text{Partial pressure of the gas}

With increase in the partial pressure, the solubility of the gas in liquid also increases and vice-versa.

Hence, the correct answer is the solubility decreases.

A toxicologist studying mustard gas, S(CH2CH2Cl)2, a blistering agent, prepares a mixture of 0.675 M SCl2and 0.973 M C2H4 and al
Musya8 [376]

Answer:

The value of K_p is 0.02495.

Explanation:

Initial concentration of SCL_2 gas = 0.675 M

Initial concentration of C_2H_4 gas = 0.973 M

Equilibrium concentration of mustard gas = 0.35 M

SCl_2 (g) + 2 C_2H_4 (g)\rightleftharpoons S(CH_2CH_2Cl)_2(g)

initially

0.675 M            0.973 M        0

At equilibrium ;

(0.675-0.35) M            (0.973-2 × 0.35) M        0.35 M

The equilibrium constant is given as :

K_c=\frac{[S(CH_2CH_2Cl)_2]}{[SCl_2][C_2H_4]^2}

=\frac{0.35 M}{(0.675-0.35) M\times ((0.973-2 × 0.35) M)^2}

K_c=14.45

The relation between K_p and K_c are :

K_p=K_c\times (RT)^{\Delta n}

where,

K_p = equilibrium constant at constant pressure = ?

K_c = equilibrium concentration constant =14.45

R = gas constant = 0.0821 L⋅atm/(K⋅mol)

T = temperature = 20.0°C =20.0 +273.15 K=293.15 K

\Delta n = change in the number of moles of gas = [(1) - (1 + 2)]=-2

Now put all the given values in the above relation, we get:

K_p=14.45\times (0.0821L.atm/K.mol\times 293.15 K)^{-2}

K_p=6.2\times 10^{4}

K_p=0.02495

The value of K_p is 0.02495.

Why do ionic compounds conduct electric current when they are melted or dissolved in water?
erik [133]
It is beacuse the ions in the melted or aqueous ionic compound is mobile and can freely move through the fluid and conduct electricity.
