Answer:

The list of elements from increasing electronegativity: Calcium < magnesium < chlorine < argon < boron.

Explanation:

In the periodic table if you move from left to right there would be an increase in the electronegativity of the elements. If you move from the bottom to the top of the groups in the periodic table the electronegativity increases and if u move to the bottom from down its decreases.

Calcium is in the 2nd group below magnesium so calcium is the least electronegative among given elements then magnesium and then chlorine as it is top of magnesium then argon, as it is right to the chlorine, and boron has the most electronegativity as it is above rest of the elements.

Calculate the pH of each of the following solutions. a. 0.100 M propanoic acid (HC3H5O2, Ka 1.3 105 ) b. 0.100 M sodium propanoa

Allisa [31]

Answer:

a) pH = 2.95

b) pH = 8.94

c) pH = 7.00

d) pH = 4.89

Explanation:

a) The reaction is:

CH₃CH₂COOH(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ CH₃CH₂COO⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq)(1)

At equlibrium: 0.1 - x x x

The dissociation constant of equation (1), Ka, is:

$K_{a} = \frac{[C_{3}H_{5}O_{2}^{-}][H_{3}O^{+}]}{[C_{3}H_{6}O_{2}]}$

$1.3\cdot 10^{-5} = \frac{x^{2}}{(0.1 - x)}$ (2)

Solving equation (2) for x, we have:

x = 0.00113 = [H₃O⁺] = [CH₃CH₂COO⁻]

Hence, the pH is:

$pH = -log [H_{3}O^{+}] = -log (0.00113) = 2.95$

b) The reaction is:

CH₃CH₂COO⁻(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ CH₃CH₂COOH(aq) + OH⁻(aq)

At equlibrium: 0.1 - x x x

The dissociation constant of the above equation, Kb, is:

$K_{b} = \frac{[C_{3}H_{6}O_{2}][OH^{-}]}{[C_{3}H_{5}O_{2}^{-}]}$

Also, we have that:

$K_{w} = K_{a}*K_{b} \rightarrow K_{b} = \frac{K_{w}}{K_{a}} = \frac{1 \cdot 10^{-14}}{1.3 \cdot 10^{-5}} = 7.69 \cdot 10^{-10}$

$7.69\cdot 10^{-10} = \frac{x^{2}}{0.1 - x}$ (3)

Solving equation (3) for x, we have:

x = 8.77x10⁻⁶ = [OH⁻] = [CH₃CH₂COOH]

Hence, the pH is:

$pOH = -log[OH^{-}] = -log(8.77\cdot 10^{-6}) = 5.06 \rightarrow pH = 14 - pOH = 8.94$

c) Pure water:

H₂O ⇄ H⁺ + OH⁻

$K_{w} = [H^{+}][OH^{-}] \rightarrow 1\cdot 10^{-14} = [H^{+}][OH^{-}]$

Since is pure water: [H⁺] = [OH⁻]

$1\cdot 10^{-14} = [H^{+}]^{2} \rightarrow [H^{+}] = \sqrt{1\cdot 10^{-14}} = 1 \cdot 10^{-7}$

Therefore, the pH is:

$pH = -log [H^{+}] = -log (1 \cdot 10^{-7}) = 7.00$

d) The reaction is:

CH₃CH₂COOH(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇄ CH₃CH₂COO⁻(aq) + H₃O⁺(aq)

At equlibrium: 0.1 0.1 x

The pH is:

$pH = pKa + log(\frac{[C_{3}H_{5}O_{2}^{-}]}{[C_{3}H_{6}O_{2}]}) = -log(1.3 \cdot 10^{-5}) + log(\frac{0.1}{0.1}) = 4.89$

I hope it helps you!

A student writes the following explanation of how certain molecules are formed.A process is used to chemically link smaller unit

tensa zangetsu [6.8K]

Answer:

polymerization

Explanation:

Student is explaining the process of formation of a polymer and the process is called polymerization.

Polymer is made up of joining repeating units. The repeating units are called monomers.

Properties of the polymer is determined by the structure of monomer molecule.

For example, consider a well-known polymer Teflon.is made by the polymerization of tetrafluoroethane.

Thus, the student is explaining polymerization.

What is the mass of 3.00 moles of magnesium chloride, MgCl2? Express your answer with the appropriate units.

xenn [34]

To find the mass of 3.00 moles of magnesium chloride (MgCl2), first record the atomic mass of magnesium (Mg) and chloride (Cl), which are both listed on the periodic table as follows: Mg=24 g/mole Cl=38 g/mole Now, double the Cl mass since there are 2 Cl moles in MgCl2 and then add it to the Mg mass like so: (38 g/mole*2 moles)+24 g/mole=100 g/mole Finally, to calculate the mass of 3.00 moles of MgCl2, convert the combined atomic mass to grams as follows: 3.00 moles * 100 g/mole = 300 g
