Classify each cation as a weak acid or pH neutral (neither acidic nor basic).

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alexeev081 [22]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

a. Na+ is pH neutral

b. Ni2+ = weak acid

c. NH4+ = Weak acid

Explanation:

To know the nature of the cation we need to find the nature of its conjugate base.

If the conjugate base of the ion is a strong base, the ion is neutral.

If the conjugate base is a weak base, the ion is a weak acid:

a. Conjugate base Na+ = NaOH

Sodium hydroxide is a strong base:

Na+ is pH neutral

b. Conjugate base Ni²⁺: Ni(OH)2 is a weak base because is not completely soluble in water. That means:

Ni2+ = weak acid

c. Conjugate base NH4+: NH4OH. Weak base:

NH4+ = Weak acid

If you heat the cup of soup in the microwave to make it boil. Will it have a higher total kinetic energy than the bowl of soup?
Paha777 [63]

No, The kinetic energy depends upon the number of particles motion. The hot bowl of soup will have greater number of particles in motion and it will contain more kinetic energy than the cup of soup.

Silver nitrate solution reacts with calcium chloride solution according to the equation: 2 AgNO3 + CaCl2 → Ca(NO3)2 + 2 AgCl All
HACTEHA [7]

Answer:

14.33 g

Explanation:

Solve this problem based on the stoichiometry of the reaction.

To do that we need the molecular weight of the masses involved and then calculate the number of moles, find the limiting reagent and  finally calculate the mass of AgCl.

                      2 AgNO₃   + CaCl₂    ⇒   Ca(NO₃)₂   + 2 AgCl

mass, g                  6.97        6.39                                     ?

MW ,g/mol         169.87      110.98                                  143.32

mol =m/MW           0.10         0.06                                    0.10

From the table above AgNO₃ is the limiting reagent and we will produce 0.10 mol AgCl which is a mass :

0.10 mol x 143.32 g/mol = 14.33 g

List a few of the physical properties of buckyball
stepladder [879]

Buckyball or buckminster fullerene is the third allotrope of carbon. It contains 60 carbons which are arranged in the five and six membered rings. Buckyball is the cluster of carbon atoms which are arranged in spherical shape and it forms a hollow cage.

The physical properties are:

Buckyball is made up of huge number of molecules but giant covalent bond is not exist.

The forces between the individual buckyballs are weak intermolecular forces.

The substances which are made up of buckyballs has low melting point in comparison to other allotropes of carbon as low energy is required to overcome theses intermolecular forces.

The substances which are made up of buckyballs is slippery in nature.

The solutions of buckminster fullerene are deep purple in color and upon evaporation brown residue is obtained.

Buckyball is soft in comparison to graphite and when it is compressed to less than 70 percent of its volume then, it converts into superhard form of diamond.
