The number placed in front of a formula is called a coefficient. the small number within a chemical equation formula is called a

subscript. why do we adjust coefficients when balancing chemical equations and not subscripts?

What is the relationship between metals and the number of electrons in the outer level?

gayaneshka [121]

Elements in group 1-2, 13-18, the number of valence electrons is related to the group number. For example, in the first group, the alkali metals there is one valence electron, however in group 13, there are 3 valence electrons. Valence electrons are also known as the outershell electrons.

An unknown diprotic acid (H2A) requires 44.391 mL of 0.111 M NaOH to completely neutralize a 0.58 g sample. Calculate the approx

Anna [14]

Answer:

$M=235.42g/mol$

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, given this is an acid-base neutralization and we are considering a diprotic acid, we can write the following mole-mole relationship:

$2n_{acid}=n_{base}$

It means that the moles of acid can be computed given the volume and concentration of NaOH:

$n_{acid}=\frac{M_{base}V_{base}}{2} =\frac{0.044391L*0.111mol/L}{2} \\\\n_{acid}=2.46x10^{-4}mol$

It means that the approximate molar mass of the acid is:

$M=\frac{m_{acid}}{n_{acid}} \\\\M=\frac{m_{acid}}{n_{acid}} =\frac{0.58g}{2.46x10^{-3}mol}\\\\M=235.42g/mol$

Best regards!
