Compare the reactivity of magnesium and calcium explain the difference
dem82 [27]

Answer:

Calcium is more reactive than magnesium because calcium atom is larger than magnesium atom and it has one more energy level. ... Thus Ca is more reactive than Mg.

A sample of helium has a volume of 50.00 L at STP. How many helium atoms are in the sample? Show work
Setler79 [48]

Answer:

Explanation:

molar volume at STP=22.4 L

given volume=50.0 L

number of moles=given volume/molar volume

number of moles=50.0/22.4

number of moles=2.2

1 mole of helium =6.023*10^23 atoms

2.2 moles of helium =6.023*10^23*2.2=1.3*10^24

therefore 50.0 L of helium contain 1.33*10^24 atoms

Determine the pH of a 0.048 M hypochlorous acid (HClO) solution. Hypochlorous acid is a weak acid (Ka = 4.0 ✕ 10−8 M).
storchak [24]

pH of 0.048 M HClO is 4.35.

<u>Explanation:</u>

HClO is a weak acid and it is dissociated as,

HClO ⇄ H⁺ + ClO⁻

We can write the equilibrium expression as,

Ka = $\frac{[H^{+}] [ClO^{-}]  }{[HClO]}

Ka = 4.0 × 10⁻⁸ M

4.0 × 10⁻⁸ M = $\frac{x \times x }{0.048}

Now we can find x by rewriting the equation as,

x² =  4.0 × 10⁻⁸ × 0.048

   = 1.92 × 10⁻⁹

Taking sqrt on both sides, we will get,

x = [H⁺] = 4.38 × 10⁻⁵

pH = -log₁₀[H⁺]

     = - log₁₀[ 4.38 × 10⁻⁵]

   = 4.35

Water containing large amounts of Mg2+and Ca2+ions is said to be hard because it is hard to make soap lather in the water. True
mafiozo [28]

Answer:True

Explanation:

Water is said to be hard when it contains calcium ions or magnesium ions dissolved in it. These ions are able to react with soap in such a way that the soap is prevented from forming lather with the water. Hard water occurs when water passes over calcium or magnesium bearing minerals and dissolves some of it. Hardness due to the presence of calcium ions can easily be removed by boiling the water.
