Answer:

Measure the pH of different household chemicals

Explanation:

To demonstrate a chemical property using an experiment, measuring the pH of different household chemicals will be the best way. The pH is the degree of hydrogen or hydroxyl ion concentration in a solution.

Chemical properties tell us about what a substance can do.

It shows if a substance will react with other substances or not.

Examples are flammability, rusting of iron, precipitation, decomposition of water by electric current e.t.c.

Measuring the pH is a chemical property determination procedure.

The pH points to the degree of acidity or alkalinity of a solution.

A sample compound contains 9.11 g Ni and 5.89g F. What is the empirical formula of this compound?

Alexxx [7]

The empirical formula of the compound is C. NiF₂.

Step 1. Calculate the moles of each element

The empirical formula is the simplest whole-number ratio of atoms in a compound.

The ratio of atoms is the same as the ratio of moles.

So, our job is to calculate the molar ratio of Ni to F.

Moles of Ni = 9.11 g Ni × (1 mol Ni /(58.69 g Ni) = 0.1552 mol Ni

Moles of F = 5.89 g F × (1 mol F/19.00 g F) = 0.3100 mol F

Step 2. Calculate the molar ratio of the elements

Divide each number by the smallest number of moles

Ni:F = 0.1552:0.3100 = 1:1.997 ≈ 1:2

Step 3: Write the empirical formula

EF = NiF₂

Picric acid has been used in the leather industry and in etching copper. However, its laboratory use has been restricted because

olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

0.3023 M

Explanation:

Let Picric acid = $H_{picric}$

So, $H_{picric}$ + $H_2}O$ ⇄ $H_3}O^+$ + $Picric^-$

The ICE table can be given as:

$H_{picric}$ + $H_2}O$ ⇄ $H_3}O^+$ + $Picric^-$

Initial: 0.52 0 0

Change: - x + x + x

Equilibrium: 0.52 - x + x + x

Given that;

acid dissociation constant ( $K_a$ ) = 0.42

$K_a = \frac{[H_3O^+][Picric^-]}{H_{picric}}$

$0.42 = \frac{[x][x]}{0.52-x}}$

$0.42 = \frac{[x]^2}{0.52-x}}$

0.42(0.52-x) = x²

0.2184 - 0.42x = x²

x² + 0.42x - 0.2184 = 0 -------------------- (quadratic equation)

Using the quadratic formula;

$\frac{-b+/-\sqrt{b^2-4ac} }{2a}$ ; ( where +/- represent ± )

= $\frac{-0.42+/-\sqrt{(0.42)^2-4(1)(-0.2184)} }{2*1}$

= $\frac{-0.42+/-\sqrt {0.1764+0.8736} }{2}$

= $\frac{-0.42+\sqrt {1.0496} }{2}$ OR $\frac{-0.42-\sqrt {1.0496} }{2}$

= $\frac{-0.42+1.0245}{2}$ OR $\frac{-0.42-1.0245}{2}$

= $\frac{0.6045}{2}$ OR $-\frac{1.4445}{2}$

= 0.30225 OR - 0.72225

So, we go by the +ve integer that says:

x = 0.30225

x = [ $H_3}O^+$ ] = [ $Picric^-$ ] = 0.3023 M

∴ the value of [H3O+] for an 0.52 M solution of picric acid = 0.3023 M (to 4 decimal places).

Why is the formation of water a synthesis reaction?

lisabon 2012 [21]

Explanation:

A synthesis reaction: It is defined as a kind of reaction where one and more than one reactant attached and creates an individual product.

The formation of the water is an example of a synthesis reaction because here more than one reactants combine and create a single product (water). Water formation occurs when 2 hydrogens and an oxygen share electrons through covalent bonds.

2H + O ----> H2O.

Select correct examples of linear molecules for five electron groups. Select correct examples of linear molecules for five elect

Shalnov [3]

Explanation:

Formula to calculate hybridization is as follows.

Hybridization = $\frac{1}{2}[V+N-C+A]$

where,

V = number of valence electrons present in central atom

N = number of monovalent atoms bonded to central atom

C = charge of cation

A = charge of anion

So, hybridization of $BeCl_{2}$ is as follows.

Hybridization = $\frac{1}{2}[V + N - C + A]$

= $\frac{1}{2}[2 + 2]$

= 2

Hybridization of $BeCl_{2}$ is sp. Therefore, $BeCl_{2}$ is a linear molecule. There will be only two electron groups through which Be is attached.

Similarly, hybridization of $XeF_{2}$ is calculated as follows.

Hybridization = $\frac{1}{2}[V + N - C + A]$

= $\frac{1}{2}[8 + 2]$

= 5

Therefore, hybridization of $XeF_{2}$ is $sp^{3}d. Therefore, [tex]XeF_{2}$ is also a linear molecule. Though there are three lone pair of electrons present on a xenon atom and it is further attached with fluorine atoms through two electron pairs. Hence, there are in total five electron groups.

Thus, we can conclude that out of the given options $XeF_{2}$ is the correct examples of linear molecules for five electron groups.

exactly 1mol of n2o4 is placed in an empty 1 l container. if at equilibrium n2o4 is dissociated 20%, what is the value of equili

egoroff_w [7]

Answer:

K = 0.2

Explanation:

Based on the chemical dissociation of N₂O₄:

N₂O₄ ⇄ 2NO₂

The equilibrium constant, K, of the reaction is:

K = [NO₂]² / [N₂O₄]

Now, if 20% of N₂O₄ is dissociated, 80% remains as N₂O₄ = 0.8mol/L = 0.8M

as 20% is dissociated, 0.2moles of N₂O₄ were dissociated and 0.2*2 = 0.4mol/L of NO₂ are produced.

Replacing in K:

K = [0.4M]² / [0.8M]
