Answer:
(A) 0.129 M
(B) 0.237 M
Explanation:
(A) The reaction between potassium hydrogen phthalate and barium hydroxide is:
- 2HA + Ba(OH)₂ → BaA₂ + 2H₂O
Where A⁻ is the respective anion of the monoprotic acid (KC₈H₄O₄⁻).
We <u>convert mass of phthalate to moles</u>, using its molar mass:
- 0.978 g ÷ 156 g/mol = 9.27x10⁻³ mol = 9.27 mmol
Now we <u>convert mmol of HA to mmol of Ba(OH)₂</u>:
- 9.27 mmol HA *
= 6.64 mmol Ba(OH)₂
Finally we calculate the molarity of the Ba(OH)₂ solution:
- 6.64 mmol / 35.8 mL = 0.129 M
(B) The reaction between Ba(OH)₂ and HCl is:
- 2HCl + Ba(OH)₂ → BaCl₂ + 2H₂O
So<u> the moles of HCl that reacted </u>are:
- 17.1 mL * 0.129 M *
= 4.41 mmol HCl
And the <u>molarity of the HCl solution is</u>:
- 4.41 mmol / 18.6 mL = 0.237 M
The atoms combine to form compounds to attain stability in nature. The combination of atoms takes place by sharing of electrons between the atoms or complete transfer of electrons from one atom to another. Generally, atoms combine to complete their octet, that is to possess eight electrons in their outer most shell (noble gas configurations) except hydrogen which can attain stability by two electrons in its outer most shell.
Since germanium has 4 electrons in its outer most shell so it needs 4 more electrons to complete its octet and attains the stability. Hydrogen has 1 electron in its outer most shell and it needs only 1 electron to attain stability so, each germanium will combine with 4 hydrogen atoms and thus forming molecule which is stable in nature.
Hence, is the formula of the hydride formed by germanium.
