i think the greater the electric charge the atom decreases in size
Answer:
a. The reaction is endothermic.
Explanation:
The heat involved in a chemical reaction is given by the enthalpy change (ΔH), which is equal to the balance between the chemical bonds that are broken (release energy) and the chemical bonds that are formed (need energy):
ΔH ≅ bonds broken - bonds formed
If broken bonds > bonds formed ⇒ ΔH > 0 ⇒ endothermic reaction
Therefore, the reaction is endothermic (it requires energy).
The answer would be electronegativity
Answer:
pKa = 3.675
Explanation:
∴ <em>C</em> X-281 = 0.079 M
∴ pH = 2.40
let X-281 a weak acid ( HA ):
∴ HA ↔ H+ + A-
⇒ Ka = [H+] * [A-] / [HA]
mass balance:
⇒<em> C</em> HA = 0.079 M = [HA] + [A-]
⇒ [HA] = 0.079 - [A-]
charge balance:
⇒ [H+] = [A-] + [OH-]... [OH-] is negligible; it comes from to water
⇒ [H+] = [A-]
∴ pH = - log [H+] = 2.40
⇒ [H+] = 3.981 E-3 M
replacing in Ka:
⇒ Ka = [H+]² / ( 0.079 - [H+] )
⇒ Ka = ( 3.981 E-3 )² / ( 0.079 - 3.981 E-3 )
⇒ Ka = 2.113 E-4
⇒ pKa = - Log ( 2.113 E-4 )
⇒ pKa = 3.675
