Answer: 16g/mol; O2

Explanation:

The gas has a volume of 2.5L at STP, so the number of moles can be determined as follows.

n=2.5L×1mol/22.4L=0.1116mol

The mass is given to be 3.571g. The molar mass of the unknown gas can be determined by dividing grams by moles.

3.571g/0.1116mol=32.00g/mol

The gas is a homonuclear diatomic gas, so the gas must contain two atoms with a molar mass of 32g/mol/2=16g/mol. This is the molar mass of the element oxygen, so the gas is diatomic oxygen, O2.

Assuming complete dissociation, what is the ph of a 3.24 mg/l ba(oh)2 solution?
weqwewe [10]
We need to first find the molarity of Ba(OH₂) solution.
A mass of 3.24 mg is dissolved in 1 L solution.
Ba(OH)₂ moles dissolved - 3.24 x 10⁻³ g/171.3 g/mol = 1.90 x 10⁻⁵ mol
dissociaton of Ba(OH)₂ is as follows;
Ba(OH)₂ --> Ba²⁺ + 2OH⁻
1 mol of Ba(OH)₂ dissociates to form 2OH⁻ ions.
Therefore [OH⁻] = (1.90 x 10⁻⁵)x2  = 3.8 x 10⁻⁵ M
pOH = -log[OH⁻]
pOH = -log (3.8 x 10⁻⁵)
pOH = 4.42
pH + pOH = 14
therefore pH = 14 - 4.42 
pH = 9.58

Which element is capable of forming long chains by forming single, double, or triple bonds with itself?
gayaneshka [121]
Catenation is the property by which it can make bonds with other carbon<span> atoms to form long chains. Hence, </span>carbon<span>, with the least diffuse valence shell p orbital is capable of forming longer p-p sigma bonded chains of atoms than heavier elements which bond via higher valence shell orbitals.</span>

Which of the following is the most electronegative element?
Kipish [7]
None of these; the most electronegative element is fluorine because an atom of fluorine needs an additional electron to join it's outer membrane, so the atom can achieve stability.

a flourine atom on its own is always a negative ion.
