Chemistry
1 answer:
Elan Coil [88]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

MgI₂, MgO, PbI₄, PbO₂

Explanation:

For an ionic compound to be formed, it must be neutral, that is the total positive charge must be equal to the total negative charge.

Mg²⁺ and I⁻: The neutral ionic compound requires 1 Mg²⁺ and 2 I⁻ and the resulting empirical formula is MgI₂.

Mg²⁺ and O²⁻: The neutral ionic compound requires 1 Mg²⁺ and 1 O²⁻ and the resulting empirical formula is MgO.

Pb⁴⁺ and I⁻: The neutral ionic compound requires 1 Pb⁴⁺ and 4 I⁻ and the resulting empirical formula is PbI₄.

Pb⁴⁺ and O²⁻: The neutral ionic compound requires 1 Pb⁴⁺ and 2 O²⁻ and the resulting empirical formula is PbO₂.

Why is it better to measure the percent change in mass<br> ratherthan just using the change in mass?
never [62]

Answer: The result is presented in proportion which gives a clearer understanding and accurate result.

Explanation: Percentage change in mass is the proportion of the initial mass of a substance changed after sometime. The results is presented as a percentage making it more accurate and can help to give future reference to weight calculations.

Change is Mass is the mass of a substance left after sometime mostly given in grams. It is not as accurate as percentage change in mass. It is generally better to show results in percentage change in mass as it gives a better understanding of what mass of a substance was lost after a given period or after application of energy like Heat or increased temperature.

1. A solution with a pH of 9 has a pOH of
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

strength = 10⁻²/10⁻³ = 10 times more acidic

Explanation:

1. A solution with a pH of 9 has a pOH of

pH + pOH = 14 => pOH = 14 - pH = 14 - 9 = 5

2. Which is more acidic, a solution with a pH of 6 or a pH of 4?

pH of 4 => Higher [H⁺] = 10⁻⁴M vs pH of 6 => [H⁺] = 10⁻⁶M

3. How many times more acidic is a solution with a pH of 2 than a solution with a pH of 3?

soln with pH = 2 => [H⁺] = 10⁻²M

soln with pH = 3 => [H⁺] = 10⁻³M

strength = 10⁻²/10⁻³ = 10 times more acidic

4. What is the hydrogen ion concentration [H + ] in a solution that has a pH of 8?

[H⁺] = 10^-pH = 10⁻⁸M

5. A solution has a pOH of 9.6. What is the pH? (Use the formula.)

pH + pOH = 14 => pH = 14 - 9.6 = 4.4

In which of the following compounds does the carbonyl stretch in the IR spectrum occur at the lowest wavenumber?
klio [65]

Answer:

a. Cyclohexanone

Explanation:

The principle of IR technique is based on the <u>vibration of the bonds</u> by using the energy that is in this region of the electromagnetic spectrum. For each bond, there is <em>a specific energy that generates a specific vibration</em>. In this case, you want to study the vibration that is given in the carbonyl group C=O. Which is located around 1700 cm-1.

Now, we must remember that the <u>lower the wavenumber we will have less energy</u>. So, what we should look for in these molecules, is a carbonyl group in which less energy is needed to vibrate since we look for the molecule with a smaller wavenumber.

If we look at the structure of all the molecules we will find that in the last three we have <u>heteroatoms</u> (atoms different to carbon I hydrogen) on the right side of the carbonyl group. These atoms allow the production of <u>resonance structures</u> which makes the molecule more stable. If the molecule is more stable we will need more energy to make it vibrate and therefore greater wavenumbers.

The molecule that fulfills this condition is the <u>cyclohexanone.</u>

See figure 1

I hope it helps!
