If hydrofluoric acid is a stronger acid than acetic acid, which statement is most likely true?

Chemistry
1 answer:
Alchen [17]3 years ago

Answer: The statement conjugate base of hydrofluoric acid is weaker than that of acetic acid is most likely true.

Explanation:

A strong acid upon dissociation gives a weak conjugate base. This can also be said as stronger is the acid, weaker will be its conjugate base or vice-versa.

Hydrofluoric acid is a strong base as it dissociates completely when dissolved in water.

For example, HF \rightleftharpoons H^{+} + F^{-}

The conjugate base is F^{-} which is a weak base.

Acetic acid is a weak acid as it dissociates partially when dissolved in water. So, the conjugate base of acetic acid is a strong base.

CH_{3}COOH \rightarrow CH_{3}COO^{-} + H^{+}

Thus, we can conclude that the statement conjugate base of hydrofluoric acid is weaker than that of acetic acid is most likely true.

Answer:

q(problem 1) = 25,050 joules;  q(problem 2) = 4.52 x 10⁶ joules

Explanation:

To understand these type problems one needs to go through a simple set of calculations relating to the 'HEATING CURVE OF WATER'. That is, consider the following problem ...

=> Calculate the total amount of heat needed to convert 10g ice at -10°C to steam at 110°C. Given are the following constants:

Heat of fusion (ΔHₓ) = 80 cal/gram

Heat of vaporization (ΔHv) = 540 cal/gram

specific heat of ice [c(i)] = 0.50 cal/gram·°C

specific heat of water [c(w)] = 1.00 cal/gram·°C

specific heat of steam [c(s)] = 0.48 cal/gram·°C

Now, the problem calculates the heat flow in each of five (5) phase transition regions based on the heating curve of water (see attached graph below this post) ...   Note two types of regions (1) regions of increasing slopes use q = mcΔT and (2) regions of zero slopes use q = m·ΔH.

q(warming ice) =  m·c(i)·ΔT = (10g)(0.50 cal/g°C)(10°C) = 50 cal

q(melting) = m·ΔHₓ = (10g)(80cal/g) 800 cal

q(warming water) = m·c(w)·ΔT = (10g)(1.00 cal/g°C)(100°C) = 1000 cal

q(evaporation of water) =  m·ΔHv = (10g)(540cal/g) = 5400 cal

q(heating steam) = m·c(s)·ΔT = (10g)(0.48 cal/g°C)(10°C) = 48 cal

Q(total) = ∑q = (50 + 800 + 1000 + 5400 + 48) = 7298 cals. => to convert to joules, multiply by 4.184 j/cal => q = 7298 cals x 4.184 j/cal = 30,534 joules = 30.5 Kj.

Now, for the problems in your post ... they represent fragments of the above problem. All you need to do is decide if the problem contains a temperature change (use q = m·c·ΔT) or does NOT contain a temperature change (use q = m·ΔH).    

Problem 1: Given Heat of Fusion of Water = 334 j/g, determine heat needed to melt 75g ice.

Since this is a phase transition (melting), NO temperature change occurs; use q = m·ΔHₓ = (75g)(334 j/g) = 25,050 joules.

Problem 2: Given Heat of Vaporization = 2260 j/g; determine the amount of heat needed to boil to vapor 2 Liters water ( = 2000 grams water ).

Since this is a phase transition (boiling = evaporation), NO temperature change occurs; use q = m·ΔHf = (2000g)(2260 j/g) = 4,520,000 joules = 4.52 x 10⁶ joules.

Problems containing a temperature change:

NOTE: A specific temperature change will be evident in the context of problems containing temperature change => use q = m·c·ΔT. Such is associated with the increasing slope regions of the heating curve.  Good luck on your efforts. Doc :-)

What are the forces that hold sodium and chloride ions together?
Phantasy [73]
Sodium is a metal, Chloride is a non-metal.

Right off the bat, you know that in order for both of these atoms to achieve a full valence shell that the metal has to lose electrons, and the non-metal has to gain them.

Therefore, you have the transfer of electrons in this bond in order to form ions.
Na+ and Cl-. This transfer of electrons in a bond is called an {{ Ionic Bond}}

The melting points of alkaline earth metals are many times higher than those of the alkali metals. Explain this difference on th
7nadin3 [17]

The correct answer is higher melting point, bound by metal metal bonds.

While alkali metals only have one valence electron, alkaline earth metals have two. Metal to metal connections hold the metals together. Alkaline earth metals have a stronger metallic connection and a higher melting point because they have two valence electrons.

the characteristics that Group 2 metals excel in over Group 1 metals.

  • Initial Ionization Potential
  • Group 2 items are more difficult than group 1 elements.
  • Strong propensity to produce bivalent compounds

As a result, group 2 metals have stronger metallic bonding, which leads to increased cohesive energy and compact atom packing. This explains why group 2 metals are harder and have higher melting and boiling temperatures than group 1 metals.
