When hcl(aq) and naoh(aq) are mixed in a beaker, the beaker feels warm to the touch. what is known about the enthalpy of this re
1 answer:
The balanced chemical equation representing the neutralization reaction of hydrochloric acid (HCl) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH),
This reaction is exothermic that is it proceeds by the release of heat energy. This heat energy is lost to the surroundings. This is the reason for the warming up of the beaker where the reaction between hydrochloric acid (HCl) and sodium hydroxide (NaOH) takes place. The enthalpy of such reaction will be negative as the reaction is exothermic.

Answer:
a. 63.2%
b. 11.7%
c. 73.3%
d. 0.995%
e. 55.5%
Explanation:
An ionic compound is a compound that is formed by ions, so one of the elements must donate electrons (which is the cation, the positive ion), and the other will receive these electrons (which is the anion, the negative ion).
The power of an element has to attract the electrons is called electronegativity, and so, as higher is the difference of electronegative of the elements, it is more probable that one of them will "still" the electrons and will form an ionic compound. The percent of this ionic character can be found by the Pauling's equation:
*100%
Where is the electronegativity difference of the elements. Thus, consulting an electronegativity table:
a. = 1.5
= 3.5
*100%
%IC = 63.2%
b. = 1.6
= 2.1
*100%
%IC = 11.7%
c. = 0.7
= 3.0
*100%
%IC = 73.3%
d. = 1.7
= 1.9
*100%
%IC = 0.995 %
e. = 1.2
= 3.0
*100%
%IC = 55.5%
