Answer:

The cation is written first in the name; the anion is written second in the name.

Rule 2. When the formula unit contains two or more of the same polyatomic ion, that ion is written in parentheses with the subscript written outside the parentheses.

Rule 3. If the cation is a metal ion with a fixed charge, the name of the cation is the same as the (neutral) element from which it is derived (e.g., Na+ = "sodium"). If the cation is a metal ion with a variable charge, the charge on the cation is indicated using a Roman numeral, in parentheses, immediately following the name of the cation (e.g., Fe3+ = "iron(III)").

Rule 4. If the anion is a monatomic ion, the anion is named by adding the suffix -ide to the root of the element name (e.g., I- = "iodide").

Note: Greek prefixes are not used to indicate the number of atoms, or polyatomic ions, in the formula unit for the compound (e.g., Ca(NO3)2 is named "calcium nitrate" not "calciuim dinitrate").

goldfiish [28.3K]

Answer:

K = Ka/Kb

Explanation:

P(s) + (3/2) Cl₂(g) <-------> PCl₃(g) K = ?

P(s) + (5/2) Cl₂(g) <--------> PCl₅(g) Ka

PCl₃(g) + Cl₂(g) <---------> PCl₅(g) Kb

K = [PCl₃]/ ([P] [Cl₂]⁽³'²⁾)

Ka = [PCl₅]/ ([P] [Cl₂]⁽⁵'²⁾)

Kb = [PCl₅]/ ([PCl₃] [Cl₂])

Since [PCl₅] = [PCl₅]

From the Ka equation,

[PCl₅] = Ka ([P] [Cl₂]⁽⁵'²⁾)

From the Kb equation

[PCl₅] = Kb ([PCl₃] [Cl₂])

Equating them

Ka ([P] [Cl₂]⁽⁵'²⁾) = Kb ([PCl₃] [Cl₂])

(Ka/Kb) = ([PCl₃] [Cl₂]) / ([P] [Cl₂]⁽⁵'²⁾)

(Ka/Kb) = [PCl₃] / ([P] [Cl₂]⁽³'²⁾)

Comparing this with the equation for the overall equilibrium constant

K = Ka/Kb

(a) a 0.2 m potassium hydroxide solution is titrated with a 0.1 m nitric acid solution. (i) balanced equation: (ii)what would be

Stells [14]

$\text{KOH} (aq) + \text{HNO}_3 (aq) \to \text{KNO}_3 (aq) + \text{H}_2\text{O} (l)$

The solution shall contain only $\text{KNO}_3 (aq)$ (and water) at the equivalence point. Both potassium hydroxide and nitric acid exist as strong electrolytes. As a result, $\text{KNO}_3 (aq)$ , the salt derived from a reaction between the two species would undergo hydrolysis of a negligible extent. This neutralization reaction therefore be neutral at the equilibrium point.

The question states that the solution is "titrated with a ... nitric acid solution" indicating that $\text{HNO}_3$ is added to the initially-basic solution. PH value of the solution would keep decreasing as the volume of the acid added increases. The final solution would be acidic as it contains not only water and $\text{KNO}_3 (aq)$ , but some $\text{HNO}_3$ as well. Bromothymol blue would therefore demonstrates a yellow color, the color it present in an acidic solution, at the end of the titration.

Which type of hybridization is observed when central atom is located at the centre of regular tetrahedron

Ann [662]

Answer:

sp3 hybridization

Explanation:

Hybridization means the mixing of atomic orbitals to yield hybrid orbitals with characteristics that are different from that of the isolated atomic orbitals before the combination.

sp3 hybridization occurs when one s orbital is mixed with three p orbitals to yield four sp3 hybrid orbitals which can be used to bond to a central atom.

The central atom is then located at the center of a regular tetrahedron at a bond angle of 109°.
