The number of covalent bonds that an atom can make is determined by the no. of electrons needed to form a duplet or octet of electron by each of the atom.
Answer:
The correct answer is option b, that is, 2.1 M Na₃PO₄.
Explanation:
The solution with the largest concentration of ions will possess the highest conductivity.
a) 3.0 M NaCl
NaCl ⇔ Na⁺ + Cl⁻
Here the total number of ions is 2, therefore, the concentration of ions is 3.0 × 2 = 6.0 M
b) 2.1 M Na₃PO₄
Na₃PO₄ ⇔ 3 Na⁺ + PO₄³⁻
Here the total number of ions i 4. Therefore, the concentration of ions is
2.1 × 4 = 8.4 M.
c) 2.4 M CaCl₂
CaCl₂ ⇔ Ca²⁺ + 2Cl⁻
The total number of ions is 3. Therefore, the concentration of ions is
2.4 × 3 = 7.2 M
d) 3.2 M NH₄NO₃
NH₄NO₃ ⇔ NH₄⁺ + NO₃⁻
The total number of ions is 2. The concentration of ions will be,
3.2 × 2 = 6.4 M
Hence, the highest conductivity will be of 2.1 M Na₃PO₄.
A catalyst lowers the activation energy needed to start a reaction
Answer:
0.456 M
Explanation:
Step 1: Write the balanced neutralization equation
HNO₂ + KOH ⇒ KNO₂ + H₂O
Step 2: Calculate the reacting moles of KOH
9.26 mL of 1.235 M KOH react.
0.00926 L × 1.235 mol/L = 0.0114 mol
Step 3: Calculate the reacting moles of HNO₂
The molar ratio of HNO₂ to KOH is 1:1. The reacting moles of HNO₂ are 1/1 × 0.0114 mol = 0.0114 mol.
Step 4: Calculate the initial concentration of HNO₂
0.0114 moles of HNO₂ are in 25.0 mL of solution.
[HNO₂] = 0.0114 mol / 0.0250 L = 0.456 M
Explanation:
Many transition metals cannot lose enough electrons to attain a noble-gas electron configuration. In addition, the majority of transition metals are capable of adopting ions with different charges.
