Answer:

HClO (l) → H⁺ (aq) + ClO⁻ (aq)

proton and hypochlorite.

Explanation:

HClO (Hypochlorous acid)

This is a weak acid that can be dissociated as this:

HClO (l) → H⁺ (aq) + ClO⁻ (aq)

proton and hypochlorite.

It is a weak acid, so it can adopt a Ka for its equilibrium

HClO + H₂O ⇄ H₃O⁺ + ClO⁻ Ka

Molar mass = 52.46 g/m

Lars is balancing equations with his study group. He is unsure about one equation because each member of the study group came up

Stells [14]

Answer:

3Ca(OH)2 + 2H3PO4 → Ca3(PO4)2 + 6H2O

Explanation:

This a proper way to balance the equation:

- Count the OH from the base (2)

- Count the H from the acid (3)

We can make 2 molecules of H₂O but we still have one more H

H₃PO₄ → dissociates in → 3H⁺ + PO₄³⁻

Ca(OH)₂ → dissociates in → Ca²⁺ + 2OH⁻

So, to form the salt, you must have 3 Ca²⁺ to react with 2 (PO₄³⁻) to make global charge of +6/-6

Therefore, if you have 3 Ca in the salt, you may have 3 Ca in the base.

So, if you have 2 phosphate in the salt, you must have 2 PO₄³⁻ in the acid.

Now you have 6 protons in the acid (6H) and 6 (OH) in the base; in conclussion you can make 6 H₂O.

Finally the ballance equation is:

3 Ca(OH)₂ + 2 H₃PO₄ → Ca₃(PO₄)₂ + 6H₂O

The question is below

nevsk [136]

The reducing agent is donating electrons and therefore becoming oxidised itself. In this scenario elemental zinc (Zn) is in a reduced state and is oxidised to become Zn2+, in doing so it donates electrons to Fe2+, thereby reducing it to elemental iron (Fe).

The elemental Zinc in solid state is therefore the reducing agent as it reduces Fe2+ to Fe(s).

Which is generally stronger, intermolecular interactions or intramolecular interactions? Which is generally stronger, intermolec

Inessa [10]

Answer:

A. Intramolecular interactions are generally stronger.

B. a. Only intermolecular interactions are broken when a liquid is converted to a gas.

Explanation:

<em>A. Which is generally stronger, intermolecular interactions or intramolecular interactions?</em>

Intramolecular interactions, in which electrons are gained, lost or shared, constitute true bonds and are one or two orders of magnitude stronger than intermolecular interactions.

<em>B. Which of these kinds of interactions are broken when a liquid is converted to a gas?</em>

When a liquid vaporizes, the intermolecular attractions are broken, that is, molecules get more separated. However, true bonds are not broken which is why the molecules keep their chemical identity.
