Answer:

Fluorine (F) has 7 valence electrons.

Explanation:

Fluorine (F) has 7 valence electrons. Fluorine belongs to group 7 in the periodic table. Group 7 elements are known as halogens. Fluorine is halogen and is the most electronegative element among the halogens. As Fluorine (F) has 7 valence electrons it has a tendency to accept another electron and complete an octet (8 electrons). Fluorine (F) forms a fluoride ion (anion) by accepting one more electron in its valence shell.

Using the Brønsted-Lowry concept of acids and bases, identify the Brønsted-Lowry acid and base in each of the following reaction

Luden [163]

Answer:

1. HSO³⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) → H₂SO₃(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

The Brønsted-Lowry acid is H₂O and the Brønsted-Lowry base is HSO³⁻

2. (CH₃)₃N(g) + BCl₃(g) → (CH₃)₃NBCl₃(s)

There are no Brønsted-Lowry acids and bases in this reaction.

Explanation:

According to the Brønsted-Lowry concept, when an acid (HA) and a base (B) undergoes a chemical reaction, the acid (HA) loses a proton and forms its conjugate base (A⁻), whereas the base gains (B) the proton to form its conjugate acid (HB⁺).

The chemical equation for this reaction is:

HA + B ⇌ A⁻ + HB⁺

Given reactions:

1. HSO³⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) → H₂SO₃(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

The Brønsted-Lowry acid is H₂O and the Brønsted-Lowry base is HSO³⁻

Reason: In this reaction, the acid H₂O loses a proton and forms its conjugate base, OH⁻. Whereas, the base HSO³⁻ gains a proton to form its conjugate acid, H₂SO₃.

2. (CH₃)₃N(g) + BCl₃(g) → (CH₃)₃NBCl₃(s)

There are no Brønsted-Lowry acids and bases in this reaction.

Reason: In this reaction, there is no exchange of proton between the acid and the base.

A rigid vessel contains water at 0.15 MPa (at 25 °C). The vessel is heated to the critical point of water. Calculate the fractio

pishuonlain [190]

Answer:

0.8078 Kg

Explanation:

Pressure of water = 0.15 MPa = 1.5 bar

At critical point of water ,temperature = 647 K=374°C

From the ideal gas equation

P×V= m×R×T

Let us assume volume = 1 m^3

1.5 x 105 x 1 = m x 287 x 647

m= 0.8078 kg

the fraction of mass of liquid at 25°C.

2. Some nitrogen at a pressure of 35.75 p.s.i is in a 100 L container. If the container's volume is reduced to 2250 ml then what

elena-s [515]

Answer:

1455.6

Explanation: you first convert 2250ml to l by dividing by 1000 so you get 2.25l then you use Boyles law which is p1v1=p2v2 then insert values

35.75*100=p2*2.25 then divide both sides by 2.25 then you get 1455.6
