If the acid A has a pKa of 5 compared acid B with Pka of 9,how much stronger is acid A over B

Chemistry

dimulka [17.4K]3 years ago
6 0
Since pKa = -log10(Ka), for every pKa value of 1 an acid is below another, the acid is 10 times stronger. Therefore acid A is 10^4 = 10000 times stronger than B.

Which of these has the most covalent character? <br> NaF Caf2 Bef2 CsF SrF2
Ksenya-84 [330]

Thus BeF2 is of most covalent character.

Anyways, covalent/ionic character is a bit tricky to figure out; we measure the difference in electronegativity of two elements bonding together and we use the following rule of thumb: if the charge is 0 (or a little more), the bond is non-polar covalent; if the charge is > 0 but < 2.0 (some references say 1.7), the bond is polar covalent; if the charge is > 2.0 then the bond is ionic. Covalent character refers to smaller electronegativity difference while ionic character refers to greater electronegativity difference.


Now, notice all of our bonds are with F, fluorine, which has the highest electronegativity of 3.98. This means that to determine character we need to consider the electronegativities of the other elements -- whichever has the greatest electronegativity has the least difference and most covalent character.
Na, sodium, has electronegativity of 0.93, so our difference is ~3 -- meaning our bond is ionic. Ca, calcium, has 1.00, leaving our difference to again be ~3 and therefore the bond is ionic. Be, beryllium, has 1.57 yielding a difference of ~2.5, meaning we're still dealing with ionic bond. Cs, cesium, has 0.79, meaning our difference is again ~3 and therefore again our compound is of ionic bond. Lastly, we have Sr, strontium, with an electronegativity of 0.95 and therefore again a difference of roughly 3 and an ionic bond. <span>

What are the major sources of crude oil<br>​
timurjin [86]

Explanation:

Crude oil is a naturally occurring fossil fuel - meaning it comes from the remains of dead organisms.

Crude oil is made up of a mixture of hydrocarbons - hydrogen and carbon atoms.

It exists in liquid form in underground reservoirs in the tiny spaces within sedimentary rocks. Or it can be found near the surface in oil sands.

It is often found alongside natural gas and saline water.

Crude oil is often interchangeably referred to as petroleum. This is because petroleum includes both the unrefined crude oil as well as refined petroleum products.

It is non-renewable - once it’s gone it’s gone and cannot be easily replaced.

What is the voltage for the nonspontaneous reaction between silver (Ag) and copper (Cu) and their ions?
gayaneshka [121]
For an non spontaneous reaction between silver (Ag) and copper (Cu) and their ions, Cu is the oxidizing agent while Ag+ is the reducing agent,
The following reactions will take place;
Anode Cu = Cu+2 + 2e-   E= +0.34 volts
Cathode; Ag+ + e = Ag    E = +0.80 volts
The net reaction will be Cu + 2Ag+ = Cu+2 + 2Ag
Thus, the voltage will be
  = +0.80 - (+0.34)
