Answer:

$3.0molMg(OH)_2$

Explanation:

Hello there!

In this case, for these types of acid-base neutralizations, it is crucial to firstly set up the chemical reaction taking place between the acid and the base; in this case HCl and Mg(OH)2 respectively, whose products are obtained by switching around the anions and cations as shown below:

$HCl(aq)+Mg(OH)_2(aq)\rightarrow MgCl_2(aq)+H_2O(l)$

Which must be balanced to accurately predict the mole ratio on the reactants side:

$2HCl(aq)+Mg(OH)_2(aq)\rightarrow MgCl_2(aq)+2H_2O(l)$

Whereas we can see a 2:1 mole ratio of the acid to the base; thus, the moles of Mg(OH) required for the neutralization of 6.0 moles of HCl turn out to be:

$6.0molHCl*\frac{1molMg(OH)_2}{2molHCl} \\\\=3.0molMg(OH)_2$

Best regards!

The acid-dissociation constant for benzoic acid (C6H5COOH) is 6.3×10−5. Calculate the equilibrium concentration of H3O+ in the s

raketka [301]

Answer : The equilibrium concentration of $H_3O^+$ in the solution is, $2.1\times 10^{-3}M$

Explanation :

The dissociation of acid reaction is:

$C_6H_5COOH+H_2O\rightarrow H_3O^++C_6H_5COO^-$

Initial conc. c 0 0

At eqm. c-x x x

Given:

c = $7.0\times 10^{-2}M$

$K_a=6.3\times 10^{-5}$

The expression of dissociation constant of acid is:

$K_a=\frac{[H_3O^+][C_6H_5COO^-]}{[C_6H_5COOH]}$

$K_a=\frac{(x)\times (x)}{(c-x)}$

Now put all the given values in this expression, we get:

$6.3\times 10^{-5}=\frac{(x)\times (x)}{[(7.0\times 10^{-2})-x]}$

$x=2.1\times 10^{-3}M$

Thus, the equilibrium concentration of $H_3O^+$ in the solution is, $2.1\times 10^{-3}M$

Why is it necessary for the spins of two electrons that occupy one orbital, to be in the opposite directions? What is that law c

Mars2501 [29]

Answer:

Since electrons cannot have the same set of quantum numbers, a maximum of two can be in the n = 1 level, and a third electron must reside in the higher-energy n = 2 level. If there are two electrons in the n = 1 level, their spins must be in opposite directions.
