If a crystal lattice structure is so hard, what causes most ionic compounds to be brittle?

Chemistry

Explanation:

The cations and anions are locked tightly into place because of the attraction of their opposite charges - as a result, it's difficult to move the ions and the material is very hard.

Answer: Acidity and basicity, proton concentration, the pH scale. You may have noticed that acidic things tend to taste sour, or that some basic. Since the scale is based on pH values, it is logarithmic, meaning that a change of 1 pH unit .

Your task is to create a buffered solution. You are provided with 0.10 M solutions of formic acid and sodium formate. Formic aci
Anton [14]

Answer:

15.2mL of the 0.10M sodium formate solution and 4.8mL of the 0.10M formic acid solution.

Explanation:

To find the pH of a buffer based on the concentration of the acid and conjugate base we must use Henderson-Hasselbalch equation:

pH = pKa + log [A⁻] / [HA]

<em>Where [A⁻] could be taken as moles of the sodium formate and [HA] moles of the formic acid</em>

<em />

4.25 = 3.75 + log [A⁻] / [HA]

0.5 = log [A⁻] / [HA]

3.162 = [A⁻] / [HA] <em>(1)</em>

<em></em>

As both solutions are 0.10M and you want to create 20mL of the buffer, the moles are:

0.10M  * 20x10⁻³L =

2x10⁻³moles = [A⁻] + [HA] <em>(2)</em>

Replacing (2) in (1):

3.162 = 2x10⁻³moles - [HA] / [HA]

3.162 [HA] = 2x10⁻³moles - [HA]

4.162[HA] = 2x10⁻³moles

[HA] = 4.805x10⁻⁴ moles

[A⁻] = 2x10⁻³moles - 4.805x10⁻⁴ moles = 1.5195x10⁻³moles

That means, to create the buffer you must add:

[A⁻] = 1.5195x10⁻³moles * (1L / 0.10mol) = 0.0152L =

<h3>15.2mL of the 0.10M sodium formate solution</h3>

[HA] = 4.805x10⁻⁴ moles * (1L / 0.10mol) = 0.0048L =

<h3>4.8mL of the 0.10M formic acid solution</h3>

4. Answer, Like gases, plasmas have no fixed shape or volume, and are less dense than solids or liquids. But unlike ordinary gases, plasmas are made up of atoms in which some or all of the electrons have been stripped away and positively charged nuclei, called ions, roam freely.

5. Answer The energy associated with an object's motion is called kinetic energy. A speeding bullet, a walking person, and electromagnetic radiation like light all have kinetic energy. Another example of kinetic energy is the energy associated with the constant, random bouncing of atoms or molecules.

6.Answer is solid

Molecules in the solid phase have the least amount of energy, while gas particles have the greatest amount of energy. The temperature of a substance is a measure of the average kinetic energy of the particles.

7. Answer Water behaves differently to most other substances because, in its solid state (ice), its particles are less densely packed than in its liquid state. This is why ice floats.

8. Answer 212 degrees F.

Sea Level: Water boils at 212 degrees F. and simmers at 190 degrees F.

9. Answer When an object is heated the motion of the particles increases as the particles become more energetic. If it is cooled the motion of the particles decreases as they lose energy.

10. Answer CHEMISTRY TERM                            PHASE CHANGE

Fusion/Melting Freezing Vaporization/Boilin    Condensation Sublimation Deposition                                                            Solid to a Liquid Liquid to a Solid Liquid to a Gas Gas to a Liquid Solid to a Gas Gas to a Solid

11.  Answer is Energy is consumed (endothermic) to melt ice (solid to liquid) so the opposite process (liquid to solid) must be exothermic.

12.In simple terms, the endothermic reactions absorb energy from the surrounding that is in the form of heat. On the other hand, an exothermic reaction releases energy into the surrounding of the system.

Calculate the molality of a 20.0 percent by weight aqueous solution of nh4cl. (molecular weight: nh4cl = 53.5)
cestrela7 [59]
Unfortunately the data provided doesn't include the DENSITY of the ammonium chloride solution and molarity is defined as moles per volume. So without the density, the calculation of the molarity is impossible. But fortunately, there are tables available that do provide the required density and for a 20% solution by weight, the density of the solution is 1.057 g/ml.  
So 1 liter of solution will mass 1057 grams and the mass of ammonium chloride will be 0.2 * 1057 g = 211.4 g. The number of moles will then be 211.4 g / 53.5 g/mol = 3.951401869 mol. Rounding to 3 significant digits gives a molarity of 3.95.  
Now assuming that your teacher wants you to assume that the solution masses 1.00 g/ml, then the mass of ammonium chloride will only be 200g, and that is only (200/53.5) = 3.74 moles.   
So in conclusion, the expected answer is 3.74 M, although the correct answer using missing information is 3.95 M.
