1. Common knowledge : Go to the right of periodic table, the atomic radius is decreasing

2. Flurine has 9 protons and lithium has 3 protons. you know that the electron is attracted with the centre of the atom, that's why more proton, more 'energy' that attract to the centre and that's why it make the shape of the atom is smaller

Acetone (fingernail-polish remover) has a density of 0.7857 g/cm3 What is the mass in grams of 17.16 mL of acetone?

Mashutka [201]

1 mL = 1 cm³

D = m / V

0.7857 = m / 17.16

m = 0.7857 x 17.16

m = 13.482 g

What do you understand by shared pair of electron

PilotLPTM [1.2K]

Answer:Lone pairs are the valence electron pair of any element which do not take part in bonding but affect the shape of molecules. Bond pairs or shared pairs are the electron pair which does both affect the geometry of molecules and take part in chemical bonding. These are form due to sharing of electrons.

a) What substances are present in an aqueous buffer composed of HC2H3O2 and C2H3O2 - ?b) What happens when LiOH is added to a bu

Alex17521 [72]

Answer:

a) HC₂H₃O₂, C₂H₃O₂⁻, H₃O⁺, H₂O, OH⁻

b) HC₂H₃O₂ + LiOH ⇄ H₂O + LiC₂H₃O₂

c) C₂H₃O₂⁻ + HBr ⇄ HC₂H₃O₂ + Br⁻

Explanation:

a) In a HC₂H₃O₂/C₂H₃O₂⁻ buffer system, the following reactions take place:

HC₂H₃O₂ + H₂O ⇄ C₂H₃O₂⁻ + H₃O⁺

C₂H₃O₂⁻ + H₂O ⇄ HC₂H₃O₂ + OH⁻

Thus, the species present are: HC₂H₃O₂, C₂H₃O₂⁻, H₃O⁺, H₂O, OH⁻.

b) When LiOH is added to the buffer system, it is partially neutralized according to the following equation.

HC₂H₃O₂ + LiOH ⇄ H₂O + LiC₂H₃O₂

c) When HBr is added to the buffer system, it is partially neutralized according to the following equation.

C₂H₃O₂⁻ + HBr ⇄ HC₂H₃O₂ + Br⁻
