Answer:

Option A. 1:1

Explanation:

From the question given above, the following data were obtained:

Li => 1s² 2s¹

Cl => 1s² 2s²2p⁶ 3s²2p⁵

Lithium (Li) will form compound with Cl by losing 1 electron as shown below:

Li —> Li⁺ + e¯ ..... (1)

Cl on the other hand will accept 1 electron from Li to form the chloride ion, Cl¯ as shown below:

Cl + e¯ —> Cl¯ ...... (2)

Combining equation 1 and 2, we have:

Li + Cl + e¯ —> Li⁺ + Cl¯ +

Cancel e¯ from both side

Li + Cl —> Li⁺Cl¯

Thus, the ratio of metallic cation (+) to non-metallic anion (-) in the compound is 1:1

When a aqueous solution of a certain acid is prepared, the acid is dissociated. Calculate the acid dissociation constant of the
stepan [7]
<h2>K_a = \dfrac{[H^{+}] [A^{-}]}{[HA]}</h2>

Explanation:

  • When an aqueous solution of a certain acid is prepared it is dissociated is as follows-

        {\displaystyle {\ce {HA  ⇄  {H^+}+{A^{-}}}  }}

Here HA is a protonic acid such as acetic acid, CH_3COOH

  • The double arrow signifies that it is an equilibrium process, which means the dissociation and recombination of the acid occur simultaneously.
  • The acid dissociation constant can be given by -

        K_a = \dfrac{[H^{+}] [A^{-}]}{[HA]}

  • The reaction is can also be represented by Bronsted and lowry -

         \\{\displaystyle {\ce {{HA}+ H_2O} ⇄  [H_3O^+] [A^-]

  • Then the dissociation constant will be

        K_a = \dfrac{[H_3O^{+}] [A^{-}]}{[HA]}

Here, K_a is the dissociation constant of an acid.
