Why do many metal ions produce acidic solutions when dissolved in water?

Chemistry
1 answer:
lakkis [162]3 years ago

<span>Water molecules form a complex with metal ions (usually a 6-coordinate complex). And the high charge density on a metal ion draws electrons away from the water molecules, making the O-H bonds more polar than normal. This allows the dissociation of the protons, making solutions of most metal ions acidic</span>

Find the average speed of a person who swims 105 m in 70 s
spin [16.1K]

Answer:

v = 1.5 m/s

Explanation:

Given that,

Distance covered by a person, d = 105 m

Time taken, t = 70 s

We need to find the average speed of the person. We know that the average speed is given by :

v=\dfrac{d}{t}\\\\v=\dfrac{105\ m}{70\ s}\\\\v=1.5\ m/s

So, the average speed of the person is equal to 1.5 m/s.

The molecules of a substance must have what characteristics in order to be flexible
Goryan [66]
Answer:
            <span>The molecules of a substance which must have the <u>a</u></span><u>bility to move past one another</u> are said to be flexible.

Explanation:
                   Those substances are said to be flexible which can be bent without breaking. There are many substances which are hard in nature but still can be bent. The hardness of such materials is due to strong interactions between the molecules and the flexibility comes due to their amorphous backbone. Therefore, greater the crystalline level of macromolecules lesser is the flexibility and greater the amorphous character greater is the flexibility and vice versa. Also, the flexibility of polymers is increased by adding plastisizers in it. Plastisizers make the hard polymers flexible by breaking the crosslinkers and enabling the macromolecules to move past one another.

In a light wave, which properties tell you the color of light
algol13

Answer :- In a light wave the property of wave which tells about the color of light is it's Wavelength .

Wavelength is the distance between one crest and one through , also it is the distance after which the wave repeat itself !

It's SI unit is meter !

It is scalar quantity !!

Different Wavelength of light have different color !!

• VIBGYOR

i.e, Violent , Indigo , Blue , Green , Yellow Orange, and Red along with their shades are the colors which we can see !!

• They almost range from 400nm to 700nm ( visible range of light )

Calculate the concentrations of all species present in a 0.26 M solution of ethylammonium chloride (C2H5NH3Cl).
Alina [70]

Answer:

0.00000223

Explanation:

pKa for C2H5NH3+ = 10.7

pKw = 14.0

pKa + pKb = pKw

10.7 + pKb = 14.0

pKb = 14.0 - 10.7

pKb = 3.30

C2H5NH3Cl is a salt of ethylamine and HCl so it will dissolve in water to produce  C2H5NH3^+ + Cl^-

The base hydrolysis reaction:  C2H5NH3^+(aq) + H2O(l) <=> C2H5NH2(aq) + H3O^+(aq)

This reaction is described by Kb.

Kb = [C2H5NH2][H3O^+]/[C2H5NH3^+]

Let [C2H5NH2] = [H3O^+] = x,

so [C2H5NH3^+] = 0.26 - x

Kb = x^2/(0.26 - x) = 2.00 x 10^-11  

Let's solve for x. In this equation,  It is possible to solve without the use quadratic equation. So we can assume that 0.26 - x  is approximately equal to 0.26.  We won't know until we do the calculation.

We get:  x^2 + 2.00 x 10^-11x - 4.99 x 10^-12 = 0

With the use of a quadratic calculator.

x = 2.23 x 10^-6 M = [C2H5NH2] = [H3O^+]

0.26 - x  is just 0.26 M in this problem because 2.23 x 10^-6 M is insignificant.

[C2H5NH3^+] = 0.26 M = [Cl^-]

NOTE:

pH = -log [H3O^+] = -log(2.23 x 10^-6) = 5.65

Ka is the acid dissociation constant

Kb is the base dissociation constant
