Answer:

electronegativity

Explanation:

Oxygen will be most reactive

configuration = $1s^22s^22p^4$

As oxygen need only two electrons to complete its octet.

Oxygen will have stronger force than nitrogen as it will tend to pull electrons more to complete its octet. Also along the period electronegativity increases so oxygen has higher electronegativity than nitrogen

Calculate the molar concentration of the Cl⁻ ions in 0.73 M MgCl2(aq).

Marta_Voda [28]

MgCl2(aq) is an ionic compound which will have the releasing of 2 Cl⁻ ions ions in water for every molecule of MgCl2 that dissolves.
MgCl2(s) --> Mg+(aq) + 2 Cl⁻(aq)
[Cl⁻] = 0.73 mol MgCl2/1L × 2 mol Cl⁻ / 1 mol MgCl2 = 1.5 M
The answer to this question is [Cl⁻] = 1.5 M

Calculate the pH of a buffer solution prepared by mixing 60.0 mL of 1.00 M lactic acid and 25.0 mL of 1.00 M sodium lactate.

marshall27 [118]

This problem could be solved easily using the Henderson-Hasselbach equation used for preparing buffer solutions. The equation is written below:

pH = pKa + log[(salt/acid]

Where salt represents the molarity of salt (sodium lactate), while acid is the molarity of acid (lactic acid).

Moles of salt = 1 mol/L * 25 mL * 1 L/1000 mL = 0.025 moles salt
Moles of acid = 1 mol/L* 60 mL * 1 L/1000 mL = 0.06 moles acid
Total Volume = (25 mL + 60 mL)*(1 L/1000 mL) = 0.085 L

Molarity of salt = 0.025 mol/0.085 L = 0.29412 M
Molarity of acid = 0.06 mol/0.085 L = 0.70588 M

Thus,
pH = 3.86 + log(0.29412/0.70588)
pH = 3.48
