What is the chemical formula for a compound between Li and Br?
natima [27]

LiBr.

<h3>Explanation</h3>

Note that the group number in this answer refers to the new IUPAC group number, which ranges from 1 to 18. Counts from the left. Start with the first two column (group 1 and 2), go on to the transition elements (Sc, Ti, etc. in group 3 through 12), and continue with the nonmetals (group 13 through 18).  

Li is a group 1 metal. As a metal, it tends to form positive ions ("cations"). Metals in group 1 and 2 are <em>main group</em> metals. The charge on main group metal ions tends to be the same as the group number of the metal. Li is in group 1. The charge on an Li ion will be +1. Formula of the Li ion will be \text{Li}^{+}.

Br is a group 17 nonmetal. As a nonmetal, it tends to form negative ions ("anions"). The charge on nonmetal ions excepting for H tends to equal the group number of the nonmetal minus 18. Br is in group 17. The charge on a Br ion will be 17 - 18 = -1. Formula of the Br ion will be \text{Br}^{-}

All the ions in an ionic compound carry charge. However, some of the ions like \text{Li}^+ are positive. Others ions like \text{Br}^{-} are negative. Charge on the two types of ions balance each other. As a result, the compound is <em>overall</em> neutral.

1 × (+1) + 1 × (-1) = 0. The positive charge on one \text{Li}^{+} ion balances the negative charge on one \text{Br}^{-} ion. The two ions would pair up at a 1:1 ratio.

The empirical formula for an ionic compound shows all the ions in the compound. Positive ions are written in front of negative ions. \text{Li}^{+} is positive and \text{Br}^{-} is negative. The formula shall also show the simplest ratio between the ions. For the compound between Li and Br, a 1:1 ratio will be the simplest. The "1" subscript in an empirical formula can be omitted. Hence the formula: LiBr.

How are the conditions at which phases are in equilibrium represented on a phase diagram?
insens350 [35]

How are the conditions at which phases are in equilibrium represented on a phase diagram?

Image result for How are the conditions at which phases are in equilibrium represented on a phase diagram?

Along the line between liquid and solid, the melting temperatures for different pressures can be found. The junction of the three curves, called the triple point, represents the unique conditions under which all three phases exist in equilibrium together. Phase diagrams are specific for each substance and mixture.

When a strong acid is titrated with a strong base using phenolphthalein, the color changes suddenly at the end point. The color
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

Keto - enol tautomerism

Explanation:

Phenolphthalein is an organic molecule (formula: C20H14O4), which is used in to determine the final volume in an acid-base titration, this is, as the molecule changes from one to another color, depending on the Ph of the solution (in acids solution, the molecule remains colorless, while in basics solutions it remains pink)  :

The molecule of phenolphthalein is a week acid, which losses a proton (H+) when it´s in solution: the undissociated molecule is colorless, while the correspondent anion (without a H+) is pink. This may be simplified with the following reaction:

H₃In⁺ ⇄ H₂In (colorless) ⇄ In⁻² (pink) ⇄ In(OH) ⁻³

- When adding a base (for example, NaOH) to phenolphthalein (initially, a colorless solution), molecule losses one H⁺ and we obtain In⁻², which is pink

- When adding an acid, the original structured is recovered, so color turns from pink to colorless

This change color is not only explained with adding an acid or a base, but also with phenolphthalein structure, that leads to a keto-enol tautomerism: as molecule has 2 hydroxyl groups (- OH) and 1 carbonyl group (C = O), compounds with this structure have an equilibrium between both groups:

R1 = C H– OH ⇄  R1 – C = O

With this change, phenolphthalein structure changes and hence, color solution changes as well
