Strong hydrochloric acid can dissolve many substances. Which type of hazardous waste would this acid be?

Chemistry
1 answer:
KonstantinChe [14]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

C. Corrosive waste

Explanation:

Hydrochloric acid is formed when hydrogen chloride gas is dissolved in water. The gas is toxic when inhaled and dissolves very readily in water to form the acid.

Hydrochloric acid is a strong acid as it ionizes completely in aqueous solutions to produce chloride ions and hydronium ions.

The concentrated acid is very corrosive in that it dissolves many other substances. Therefore, great care must be taken when handling the concentrated form of the acid.

It poses an environmental hazard due to its corrosive nature. Also, in industries and science laboratories, concentrated hydrochloric acid can corrode metal pipes and should not be drained into pipes without first being diluted.

However, the acid is very important in many industrial as well as laboratory procedures.

Which metal will more easily lose an electron sodium or potassium?
sergey [27]
<span>The metal that would more easily lose an electron would be potassium. It is more reactive than sodium. Also, looking on the periodic table, </span><span>from top to bottom for groups 1 and 2, reactivity increases. So, it should be potassium. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>

A solution is made containing 4.6 g of sodium chloride per 250g of water.
lozanna [386]

Answer:

\large \boxed{1.81 \, \%}

Explanation:

\text{Mass percent} = \dfrac{\text{mass of solute} }{\text{mass of solution}} \times 100 \, \%

Data:

Mass of NaCl =      4.6 g

Mass of water = 250    g

Calculations:

Mass of solution = mass of NaCl + mass of water = 4.6 g + 250 g = 254.6 g.

\text{\% m/m} = \dfrac{\text{4.6 g} }{\text{254.6 g}} \times 100 \, \% = \mathbf{1.81 \, \%}\\\\\text{The percent by mass of NaCl is $\large \boxed{\mathbf{1.81 \, \%}}$}

A buffer can be prepared by mixing two solutions. Determine if each of the following mixtures will result in a buffer solution o
GenaCL600 [577]

Answer:

The answers are in the explanation

Explanation:

A buffer is the mixture of a weak acid with its conjugate base or vice versa. Thus:

<em>1)</em> Mixing 100.0 mL of 0.1 M HF with 100.0 mL of 0.05 M mol KF. <em>Will </em>result in a buffer because HF is a weak acid and KF is its conjugate base.

<em>2)</em> Mixing 100.0 mL of 0.1 M NH₃ with 100.0 mL of 0.1 M NH₄Br. <em>Will not </em>result in a buffer because NH₃ is a strong base.

<em>3) </em>Mixing 100.0 mL of 0.1 M HCN with 100.0 mL of 0.05 M KOH. <em>Will </em>result in a buffer because HCN is a weak acid and its reaction with KOH will produce CN⁻ that is its conjugate base.

<em>4)</em> Mixing 100.0 mL of 0.1 M HCl with 100.0 mL of 0.1 M KCl <em>Will not </em>result in a buffer because HCl is a strong acid.

<em>5)</em> Mixing 100.0 mL of 0.1 M HCN with 100.0 mL of 0.1 M KOH <em>Will not </em>result in a buffer because each HCN will react with KOH producing CN⁻, that means that you will have just CN⁻ (Conjugate base) without HCN (Weak acid).

I hope it helps!

Which of the following correctly represents the radioactive decay of cesium-137?
Lelu [443]
The decay mode of cesium-137 is beta decay. This means that the cesium-137 decays into a beta particle and a nuclide with the same mass number, but with a charge number that is 1 more than that of cesium.

Therefore, this means Cs-137 decays into an electron and Barium-137, meaning the answer is choice 1.

Enter the electron configuration for I+ using noble gas shorthand notation.
Maurinko [17]

Answer:

[Kr] 4d10 5s2 5p4

Explanation:

The Symbol I represents Iodine. It has atomic number of 53. The full electronic configuration is given as;

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d10 4s2 4p6 4d10 5s2 5p5

However the question requested for the configuration of I+.

I+ is a cation and it simply refers to an iodine atom that has lost a single electron. The electronic configuration of I+ is given as;

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 3d10 4s2 4p6 4d10 5s2 5p4

Using Noble gas shorthand representation, we have;

[Kr] 4d10 5s2 5p4
