Answer:
electron-electron repulsion
Explanation:
When electrons add into valence shell of neutral elements, the element assumes a negative oxidation state. With this, the number of electrons having (-) charges will be larger than the number of protons having positive (+) charges. As a result, the extra electrons repel one another (i.e., like charges repel) and a larger radius is the result.
In contrast, when cations are formed, electrons are removed from the valence level (oxidation) producing an element having a greater number of protons than electrons. The larger number of protons will function to attract the electron cloud with a greater force that results in a contraction of atomic radius and a smaller spherical volume than the neutral unionized element.
To visualize, see attached chart that shows atomic and ionic radii before and after ionization of the elements.
The balanced equation for the reaction is as follows;
Ca(OH)₂ + 2HBr --> CaBr₂ + 2H₂O
stoichiometry of Ca(OH)₂ to HBr is 1:2
number of Ca(OH)₂ moles reacted - 0.10 mol/L x 0.1000 L = 0.010 mol
Number of HBr moles added - 0.10 mol/L x 0.4000 = 0.040 mol
1 mol of Ca(OH)₂ needs 2 mol of HBr for neutralisation
therefore 0.010 mol of Ca(OH)₂ needs - 0.010 x 2 = 0.020 mol of HBr to be neutralised
but 0.040 mol of HBr has been added therefore number of moles of HBr in excess - 0.040 - 0.020 = 0.020 mol
then pH of the medium can be calculated using the excess H⁺ ions
HBr is a strong acid therefore complete ionization
[HBr] = [H⁺]
[H⁺] = 0.020 mol / (100.0 + 400.0 mL)
= 0.020 mol / 0.5 L
= 0.040 mol/L
pH = -log[H⁺]
pH = - log [0.040 M]
pH = 1.40
pH of the medium is 1.40
