Answer:

Highest pH(most basic)

Sr(OH)2(aq)

KOH (aq)

NH3(aq)

HF (aq)

HClO4(aq)

Lowest pH(most acidic)

Explanation:

The concentration of H+ ion will determine the pH of a solution. The pH actually reflects the ratio of H+ ion and OH- since both of them can combine into water. Solution with more H+ ion will have a lower pH and called acidic, while more OH- will have high pH and be called basic. Strong acid/base will be ionized more than weak acid/base.

Sr(OH)2(aq) = strong base, release 2 OH- ion per mole

KOH (aq) = Strong base, release 1 OH- per mole

NH3(aq) = weak base, release less than 1 OH- per mole

HF (aq) =strong acid, release 1 H+ per mole

HClO4(aq) = stronger acid, release 1 H+ per mole

39. Which bond is least polar?<br> A) As-C1<br> B) Bi-CI<br> C) P-CI<br> D) N-C1

garik1379 [7]

Answer:

D) N-Cl.

Explanation:

The electronegativity of the elements in Group 5 (N. P As and Bi) decreases as we go down the Group so N is the most electronegative and chlorine is less able to draw electrons away from N than from the other elements in Group 5.

The molar heat of vaporization of water is 40.7kJ/mol. How much heat must be absorbed to convert 50.0 grams of liquid water at 1

EleoNora [17]

During a phase change the temperature does not change since all of the heat is being absorbed in order to break the intermolecular forces. Due to that, the formula will not need to have T in it and is actually q=nΔH(v).
n=the number of moles (in this case 2.778mol of water since you divide 50g by 18g/mol).
ΔH(v)=the molar heat of vaporization (in this case 40.7kJ/mol).
q=the heat that must be absorbed
q=2.778mol×40.7kJ/mol
q=113.1kJ
Therefore the water needs to absorb 1.13×10²kJ.

I hope this helps. Let me know if anything is unclear.

Metals react with oxygen to give oxides with the general formula MxOy. What is a balanced chemical equation for the reaction of

katovenus [111]

Answer: $4Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3$

Explanation:

For formation of a neutral ionic compound, the charges on cation and anion must be balanced. The cation is formed by loss of electrons by metals and anions are formed by gain of electrons by non metals.

Here iron is having an oxidation state of +3 called as $Fe^{3+}$ cation and oxide $O^{2-}$ is an anion with oxidation state of -2. Thus they combine and their oxidation states are exchanged and written in simplest whole number ratios to give neutral $Fe_2O_3$ .

According to the law of conservation of mass, mass can neither be created nor be destroyed. Thus the mass of products has to be equal to the mass of reactants. The number of atoms of each element has to be same on reactant and product side. Thus chemical equations are balanced.

$2Fe+3O_2\rightarrow 2Fe_2O_3$

Equal amounts of N2 and O2 are added, under certain conditions, to a closed container. Which changes occur in the reverse reacti

geniusboy [140]

1) The forward reaction is N2 (g) + O2 (g) → 2NO

(that reaction requires special contitions because at normal pressures and temperatures N2 and O2 do not react to form another compound.

2) The equiblibrium equation is

N2 (g) + O2 (g) ⇄ 2NO

3) Then, the reverse reaction is

2NO → N2(g) + O2(g)

Answer: 2NO → N2(g) + O2(g)
