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

Element x reacts with oxygen to produce x2o3 in an experiment it is found that 1.0000 g of x produces 1.1xxx g of x2o3 what is t
8_murik_8 [283]

Since X is 1 g, therefore O must be 0.1 g. Therefore:

moles O = 0.1 g / (16 g / mol) = 0.00625 mol

 

We can see that for every 3 moles of O, there are 2 moles of X, therefore:

moles X = 0.00625 mol O (3 moles X / 2 moles O) = 0.009375 mol

 

Molar mass X = 1 g / 0.009375 mol

<span>Molar mass X = 106.67 g/mol</span>

(a) Given that Ka for acetic acid is 1.8 X 10^-5 and that for hypochlorous acid is 3.0 X 10^-8, which is the stronger acid? (b)
Gala2k [10]

Answer:

HOAc is stronger acid than HClO

ClO⁻ is stronger conjugate base than OAc⁻

Kb(OAc⁻) = 5.5 x 10⁻¹⁰

Kb(ClO⁻) = 3.3 x 10⁻⁷

Explanation:

Assume 0.10M HOAc => H⁺ + OAc⁻  with Ka = 1.8 x 10⁻⁵

=> [H⁺] = √Ka·[Acid] =√(1.8 x 10⁻⁵)(0.10) M = 1.3 x 10⁻³M H⁺

Assume 0.10M HClO => H⁺ + ClO⁻ with Ka = 3 x 10⁻⁸

=> [H⁺] = √(3 x 10⁻⁸)(0.10)M = 5.47 x 10⁻⁵M H⁺

HOAc delivers more H⁺ than HClO and is more acidic.

Kb = Kw/Ka, Kw = 1 x 10⁻¹⁴

Kb(OAc⁻) = 5.5 x 10⁻¹⁰

Kb(ClO⁻) = 3.3 x 10⁻⁷
