An ion is an atom molecule that has a net electrical charge

Goshia [24]3 years ago

3 0

An ion is a charged atom or molecule. It is charged because the number of electrons do not equal the number of protons in the atom or molecule. An atom can acquire a positive charge or a negative charge depending on whether the number of electrons in an atom is greater or less then the number of protons in the atom. An example is Iron (III) , Iron (II) , lithium, and hydrogen.

A sample of gas contains 6.25 × 10-3 mol in a 500.0 mL flask at 265°C. What is the pressure of the gas in kilopascals? Which var

RideAnS [48]

55.9 kPa; Variables given = volume (V), moles (n), temperature (T)

We must calculate p from V, n, and T, so we use the Ideal Gas Law:

pV = nRT

Solve for p: p = nRT/V

R = 8.314 kPa.L.K^(-1).mol^(-1)

T = (265 + 273.15) K = 538.15 K

V = 500.0 mL = 0.5000 L

∴ p = [6.25 x 10^(-3) mol x 8.314 kPa·L·K^(-1)·mol^(-1) x 538.15 K]/(0.5000 L) = 55.9 kPa

You are given two unknown acids, HX and H2Y, and two values for Ka, 1x10^-7 and 1x10^9. You know that X is a much more electrone

Elena L [17]

Answer:

Explanation

In HX , X is more electronegative than Y so HX will ionise more because of ionic bond between H and X . On the other hand H₂Y will be less polar as compared to HX so it will ionise to a lesser extent . Hence Ka will be more for HX . Ka represents the degree of ionisation of acid . Higher the ionisation , higher is the value of Ka . H₂Y which is less polar will ionise less and hence it will have lesser value of Ka .

Hence H₂Y will have value of 10⁻⁷ and HX will have value of ka equal to 10⁹ .

When 5ml of HCl was added

777dan777 [17]

Answer:

A. There was still 140 ml of volume available for the reaction

Explanation:

According to Avogadro's law, we have that equal volumes of all gases contains equal number of molecules

According to the ideal gas law, we have;

The pressure exerted by a gas, P = n·R·T/V

Where;

n = The number of moles

T = The temperature of the gas

R = The universal gas constant

V = The volume of the gas

Therefore, given that the volumes and number of moles of the removed air and added HCl are the same, the pressure and therefore, the volume available for the reaction will remain the same

There will still be the same volume available for the reaction.

Phosphorus pentachloride decomposes to phosphorus trichloride at high temperatures according to the equation:

weqwewe [10]

Answer:

D) [PCl5]=0.00765M,[PCl3]=0.117M,and [Cl2]=0.0.117M

Explanation:

Based on the reaction:

PCl₅(g) ⇄ PCl₃(g) + Cl₂(g)

And knowing:

Kc = [PCl₃] [Cl₂] / [PCl₅] = 1.80

When you add PCl₅ into a flask, this gas will react producing PCl₃ and Cl₂ until [PCl₃] [Cl₂] / [PCl₅] = 1.80

This could be written as:

[PCl₃] = X

[Cl₂] = X

[PCl₅] = 0.125M - X

Where X represents the moles of PCl₅ that react, reaction coordinate.

Replacing in Kc expression:

[PCl₃] [Cl₂] / [PCl₅] = 1.80

[X [X] / [0.125 - X] = 1.80

X² = 0.225 - 1.80X

0 = -X² -1.80X + 0.225

Solving for X:

X = -1.9M → False solution, there is no negative concentrations

X = 0.11735M → Right solution.

Replacing, concentrations in equilibrium are:

[PCl₃] = X

[Cl₂] = X

[PCl₅] = 0.125M - X

[PCl₃] = 0.117M

[Cl₂] = 0.117M

[PCl₅] = 0.00765M

And right option is:
