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

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alexeev081 [22]2 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

Goshia [24]

The statement that is NOT a part of John Dalton's atomic theory Electrons move in specific orbits around the nucleus of an atom. The statements ‘All elements are composed of atoms that cannot be divided’, ‘All atoms of the same element are exactly alike and have the same mass’ and ‘Every compound is composed of atoms of different elements, combined in a specific ratio’ are not his theory.

Using the molarity equation, calculate how many grams of salt you need in order to make 80ml of a 2M solution (MW = 58.44g/mole)
ollegr [7]

Answer:

9.35g

Explanation:

The molarity equation establishes that:

\textrm{molarity}=\frac{\textrm{moles  of solute}}{\textrm{liters of solution}}

So, we have information about molarity (2M) and volume (80 ml=0.08 l), with that, we can find the moles of solute:

\textrm{moles of solute}=\textrm{molarity}*\textrm{liters of solution}

\textrm{moles of solute}= 0.08 \textrm{ l} *2\textrm{ M} = 0.16 \textrm{ mol}

The  mathematical equation that establishes the relationship between molar weight, mass and moles is:

\textrm{molar weight}= \frac{\textrm{mass}}{\textrm{moles}}

\textrm{MW}= \frac{\textrm{m}}{\textrm{n}}

We have MW (58.44g/mole) and n (0.16 mol), and we need to find m (grams of salt needed) to solve the problem:

\textrm{m} = \textrm{MW * n}= 58.44\frac{\textrm{g}}{\textrm{mol}} * 0.16 \textrm{ mol} = 9.35 \textrm{ g}
