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

Chemistry
1 answer:
KonstantinChe [14]3 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.

How do the energy and the most probable location of an electron in the third shell of an atom compare to the energy and the most
solmaris [256]
The answer is (2). You can think about this question in terms of the Bohr's model of the atom or in terms of quantum chemistry. In the Bohr model, electrons exist in discrete "shells," each respresenting a fixed spherical distance from the nucleus in which electrons of certain energy levels orbit the nucleus. The larger the shell (the greater the "orbit" radius), the greater the energy of the "orbiting" electron (I use quotations because electrons don't actually orbit the nucleus in the traditional sense, as you may know). Thus, according to the Bohr model, a third shell electron should be farther from the nucleus and have greater energy than an electron in the first shell. The quantum model is differs drastically from the Bohr model in many ways, but the essence is the same. A larger principal quantum number indicates 1) greater overall energy and 2) a probability distribution spread a bit more outward.

If 25.8 grams of BaO dissolve in enough water to make a 212 gram solution, what is the percent by mass of the solution?
Scorpion4ik [409]
Mass of solute = 25.8 g

mass solution = 212 g

% =(  mass of solute / mass solution ) x 100

% = ( 25.8 / 212 ) x 100

% = 0.122 x 100

= 12.2 %

The trend in electronegativity is F &gt;Cl &gt;Br; therefore, the most ionic compound (CH2F2) has the lowest boiling point, and
bulgar [2K]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Increase in polarity of a molecule leads to higher boiling points. The more polar a molecule is, the higher the energy required to breaks intermolecular forces of attraction hence the higher the boiling point. This is the reason why ionic compounds and compounds having polar covalent bonds in them tend to have high boiling points.

A solution is prepared by adding 100 mL of 1.0 M HC₂H₃O₂(aq) to 100 mL of 1.0 M NaC₂H₃O₂(aq). The solution is stirred and its pH
anastassius [24]

Answer: Option (c) is the correct answer.

Explanation:

When an acid or base is added to a solution then any resistance by the solution in changing the pH of the solution is known as a buffer.

This is because a buffer has the ability to not get affected by the addition of small amounts of an acid or a base. As a result, it helps in maintaining the pH of the solution.

In the give case, when we add the HCl then more number of protons will dissociate. This causes the acetate to react with the protons and leads to the formation of acetic acid.

We know that acetic acid is a weak acid and it dissociates partially or feebly. Therefore, no change in pH will take place.

Thus, we can conclude that equation H_{3}O^{+}(aq) + C_{2}H_{3}O^{-}_{2}(aq) \rightarrow HC_{2}H_{3}O_{2}(aq) + H_{2}O(l) represents the chemical reaction that accounts for the fact that acid was added but there was no detectable change in pH.
