Answer:

The atoms are ranked in decreasing order as follows:

Fluorine ---4

Carbon ----3

Boron ------2

Beryllium --1

Explanation:

Effective nuclear charge (Zeff) is defined as the difference between the actual nuclear charge (the atomic number, Z) and the shielding constant (S).

It is calculated by finding the atomic number and electronic configuration, attributing a shielding value to each electron, adding all the shielding values and using the formula:

Z eff = Z - S

Effective nuclear charges:

An atom of carbon: 3.25

An atom of fluorine: 5.20

An atom of beryllium: 1.95

An atom of boron: 2.60

In a titration, 4.7 g of an acid (HX) requires 32.6 mL of 0.54 M NaOH(aq) for complete reaction. What is the molar mass of the a

katrin2010 [14]

Answer : The molar mass of an acid is 266.985 g/mole

Explanation : Given,

Mass of an acid (HX) = 4.7 g

Volume of NaOH = 32.6 ml = 0.0326 L

Molarity of NaOH = 0.54 M = 0.54 mole/L

First we have to calculate the moles of NaOH.

$\text{Moles of }NaOH=\text{Molarity of }NaOH\times \text{Volume of solution}=0.54mole/L\times 0.0326L=0.017604mole$

Now we have to calculate the moles of an acid.

In the titration, the moles of an acid will be equal to the moles of NaOH.

Moles of an acid = Moles of NaOH = 0.017604 mole

Now we have to calculate the molar mass of and acid.

$\text{Moles of an acid}=\frac{\text{Mass of an acid}}{\text{Molar mass of an acid}}$

Now put all the given values in this formula, we get:

$0.017604mole=\frac{4.7g}{\text{Molar mass of an acid}}$

$\text{Molar mass of an acid}=266.985g/mole$

Therefore, the molar mass of an acid is 266.985 g/mole
