a. Calculate the pH of a solution that has [H3O+]= 4.3 x 10-5 M. b. Is the solution acidic or basic? How do you know?

Luda [366]

Answer:

* $pH=4.37$

* The solution is acidic since the pH is below 7.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, we can mathematically define the pH by:

$pH=-log([H_3O^+])$

Thus, for the given hydronium concentration we simply compute the pH:

$pH=-log(4.3x10^{-5})=4.37$

Thereby, we conclude the solution is acidic due to the fact that the pH is below 7 which is the neutral point and above it the solutions are basic.

Regards.

The maximum mass of anhydrous zinc chloride that could be obtained from the products of the reaction is 8.18 g

<h3>Stoichiometry </h3>

From the question, we are to determine the maximum mass of anhydrous zinc chloride that could be obtained

From the given balanced chemical equation,

ZnO + 2HCl → ZnCl₂ + H₂O

This means 1 mole of ZnO will completely react with 2 moles of HCl to produce 1 mole of ZnCl₂ and 1 mole of H₂O

From the given information

Number of moles of ZnO = 0.0830 mole

Now, we will calculate the number of moles of HCl that is present

Volume of HCl added = 100 cm³ = 0.1 dm³

Concentration of the HCl = 1.20 mol/dm³

Using the formula,

Number of moles = Concentration × Volume

Number of moles of HCl present = 1.20 × 0.1 = 0.120 mole

Since

1 mole of ZnO will completely react with 2 moles of HCl to produce 1 mole of ZnCl₂

Then,

0.06 mole of ZnO will react with the 0.120 mole of HCl to produce 0.06 mole of ZnCl₂

Therefore, maximum number of moles of anhydrous zinc chloride that could be produced is 0.06 mole

Now, for the maximum mass that could be produced

Using the formula,

Mass = Number of moles × Molar mass

Molar mass of ZnCl₂ = 136.286 g/mol

Then,

Mass = 0.06 × 136.286

Mass = 8.17716 g

Mass ≅ 8.18 g

Hence, the maximum mass of anhydrous zinc chloride that could be obtained from the products of the reaction is 8.18 g

Draw a Lewis structure for C2H3Cl . Include all hydrogen atoms and show all unshared electron pairs. None of the atoms bears a f

Korvikt [17]

Answer:

See attached picture.

Explanation:

Hello!

In this case, since C2H3Cl is an organic compound we need a central C-C parent chain to which the three hydrogen atoms and one chlorine atom provides the electrons to get all the octets except for H as given on the statement.

In such a way, on the attached picture you can find the required Lewis dot structure without formal charges and with all the unshared electron pairs, considering there is a double bond binding the central carbon atoms in order to compete their octets.

Best regards!
