Chemistry

1 answer:

egoroff_w [7]2 years ago

4 0

Answer:

ionization constant of an acid (Ka) is the equilibrium constant for the ionization of an acid.

Explanation:

The acid ionization represents the fraction of the original acid that has been ionized in solution. Therefore, the numerical value of Ka is a reflection of the strength of the acid.

Two litres of an ideal gas at a pressure of 10 atm expands isothermally into a vacuum until its total volume is 10 litres. How m

nlexa [21]

Answer:

The work done and heat absorbed are both -8,1 kJ

Explanation:

The work done in an isobaric process is defined as:

W = -P (Vf - Vi)

Where P is pressure ( 10 atm)

Vf = 10 L

Vi = 2 L

Thus, <em>W = -80 atm×L ≡ -8,1 kJ</em>

This is the work done in expansion of the gas. As the gas remains at the same temperature, there is no change in internal energy doing that all work was absorbed as heat.

I hope it helps!

g A and B are both non-volatile molecular compounds. Substance A has a greater molar mass than substance B. If 50 g of substance

Doss [256]

Answer:

The correct answer is - option D. the boiling point of solution A will be lower than the boiling point of solution B

Explanation:

Colligative properties such as a decrease in the freezing point of the solution, increase in the boiling point of substance, decrease in Lowering of vapor pressure, and other properties depend upon the number of molecules only.

In the given solution the equal amount of two solutions are mixed that is 50 grams however due to the difference in the molecular mass so the atoms present in both solution A and B will be different. It is known that the number of atoms of a substance is inversely proportional to the molecular mass of the particular substance.

As it is given that Solution B has a low molecular mass which means it has a high number of atoms that means its boiling point will be higher than solution A.

Cobalt (Co) has an atomic mass of 59 and an atomic number of 27. Which statement correctly describes an atom of cobalt?

marysya [2.9K]

Answer:

Explanation:

27 us the number of protons when we subtract 27 from 59 it will be 32 because a mass number is the sum of proton and neutron but tell u more on the comment

A particular atom contains 29 electrons, 34 neutrons, and 29 protons. what is the identity of this element and what is its atomi

IgorLugansk [536]

Answer:

Identity = Copper

Atomic Number = 29

Explanation:

Given Data:

Number of Electrons = 29

Number of Neutrons = 34

Number of Protons = 29

Identity and atomic number of Element:

This element can be identified by using two sources, i) Atomic Number ii) Electronic Configuration.

Atomic Number is defined as the number of protons present in the nucleus of an element. As the given number of protons are 29, therefore, the atomic number of this element is also 29.

Secondly, if the element is in neutral state then its number of protons must be equal to the number of electrons present in it. So, in neutral state this element will contain 29 electrons. Therefore, the electronic configuration is as follow,

1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s², 3d⁹

Now using electronic configuration one can easily identify the position of this element in periodic table. As the valence shell is 4, so it belongs to period 4 and there are 9 electrons in d-subshell so it belongs to transition elemnts and transition element with 9 electrons in d shell is Copper. Also, the stable electronic configuration of copper is written as,

1s², 2s², 2p⁶, 3s², 3p⁶, 4s¹, 3d¹⁰

When a barium atom loses two electrons what charge does it have

Darya [45]

Answer:

It becomes a positive ion and its radius decreases

Explanation:

As per the Octet rule, Barium has 2 electrons in its outermost shell. When it loses the two electron it gains two positive charge i.e Ba2+. As the barium loses the two electron from its outermost shell, the outermost shell becomes vacant and thus is no more considered as a part of atomic geometry of the barium atom and since the outermost shell is considered negligible the radius of barium atom reduces automatically.
