Which pair of elements is most apt to form an ionic compound with each other?

1 answer:

7 0

Ionic compounds are compounds that are formed together by a cation and an anion. A cation is an ion with a positive charge. For example, Na+ and Ca2+. An ion has a negative charge, like Cl- and OH-. There is a greater chance of forming an ionic compound when they have a great difference in electronegativity, the ability to attract electrons toward itself. In the periodic table, elements that are opposite to each other, more likely found in opposite sides, would be more apt to form an ionic compound. Example would be NaCl and CaCl2 or Ca(OH)2.

In the following net ionic equation, identify each reactant as either a Bronsted-Lowry acid or a Bronsted-Lowry base. HCN(aq) H2

vfiekz [6]

Answer:

Explanation:

The definition of acids and bases by Arrhenius Theory was modified and extended by Bronsted-Lowry.

Bronsted-Lowry defined acid as a molecule or ion which donates a proton while a base is a molecule or ions that accepts the proton. This definition can be extended to include acid -base titrations in non-aqueous solutions.

In this theory, the reaction of an acid with a base constitutes a transfer of a proton from the acid to the base.

From the given information:

$\mathsf{HCN _{(aq)} + H_2O_{(l)} \to CN^{-}_{(aq)} + H_3O_{(aq)}}$

From above:

We will see that HCN releases an H⁺ ion, thus it is a Bronsted-Lowry acid

$H_2O$ accepts the H⁺ ion ,thus it is a Bronsted-Lowry base.

The formula of the reactant that acts as a proton donor is <u>HCN</u>

The formula of the reactant that acts as a proton acceptor is <u>H2O</u>

0.2640 g of sodium oxalate is dissolved in a flask and requires 30.74 mL of potassium

Free_Kalibri [48]

Moles of potassium permanganate = 0.0008

<h3>Further explanation </h3>

Titration is a procedure for determining the concentration of a solution by reacting with another solution which is known to be concentrated (usually a standard solution). Determination of the endpoint/equivalence point of the reaction can use indicators according to the appropriate pH range

Reaction

5Na2C2O4(aq) + 2KMnO4(aq) + 8H2SO4(aq) ---> 2MnSO4(aq) + K2SO4(aq) + 5Na2SO4(aq) + 10CO2(g) + 8H2O(1)

The end point ⇒titrant and analyte moles equal

titrant : potassium permanganate-KMnO4

analyte : sodium oxalate - Na2C2O4

so moles of KMnO4 = moles of Na2C2O4

moles of Na2C2O4(mass = 0.2640 g, MW=134 g/mol) :

$\tt mol=\dfrac{mass}{MW}\\\\mol=\dfrac{0.264}{134 g/mol}\\\\mol=0.002$

From equation, mol ratio Na2C2O4 : KMnO4 = 5 : 2, so mol KMnO4 :

$\tt \dfrac{2}{5}\times 0.002=0.0008$
