Hydrofluoric acid is what type of acid?

1 answer:

5 0

Hydrofluoric acid is a solution of hydrogen fluoride (HF) in water. Solutions of HF are colourless, acidic and highly corrosive. It is used to make most fluorine-containing compounds; examples include the commonly used pharmaceutical antidepressant medication fluoxetine (Prozac) and the material PTFE (Teflon).

PLEASE HELP Determine the number of neutrons for the given isotopes:

zepelin [54]

Helium = 1
Carbon = 8
Nitrogen = 8
Strontium = 52
Tellurium = 71

If you look on a periodic table, on each element there is a number on the top left. This represents the number of protons in an atom. Protons have a mass of 1 (in relative to Carbon-13)

If we take nitrogen-15 for example; The number 15 tells you that the isotope has a mass of 15. Now if you look on the periodic table, Nitrogen has a proton number of 7. Only protons and neutrons have a mass, electrons are considered to be negligable. Therefore the number of neutrons Nitrogen-15 contains is 15 - 7 = 8

A gas mixture with a total pressure of 745 mmHg contains each of the following gases at the indicated partial pressures: CO2, 24

Setler79 [48]

Answer:

For Part A: The partial pressure of Helium is 218 mmHg.

For Part B: The mass of helium gas is 0.504 g.

Explanation:

For Part A:

We are given:

$p_{CO_2}=245mmHg\\p_Ar}=119mmHg\\p_{O_2}=163mmHg\\P=745mmHg$

To calculate the partial pressure of helium, we use the formula:

$P=p_{CO_2}+p_{Ar}+p_{O_2}+p_{He}$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$745=245+119+163+p_{He}\\p_{He}=218mmHg$

Hence, the partial pressure of Helium is 218 mmHg.

For Part B:

To calculate the mass of helium gas, we use the equation given by ideal gas:

PV = nRT

or,

$PV=\frac{m}{M}RT$

where,

P = Pressure of helium gas = 218 mmHg

V = Volume of the helium gas = 10.2 L

m = Mass of helium gas = ? g

M = Molar mass of helium gas = 4 g/mol

R = Gas constant = $62.3637\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}$

T = Temperature of helium gas = 283 K

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$218mmHg\times 10.2L=\frac{m}{4g/mol}\times 62.3637\text{ L.mmHg }mol^{-1}K^{-1}\times 283K\\\\m=0.504g$

Hence, the mass of helium gas is 0.504 g.

6. According to Crystal Field Theory, what should be the color of an aqueous solution of the ion [Y(H2O)6]3

UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

Colourless

Explanation:

We know that Y^3+ has the electronic configuration of;

1s2 2s2 2p6 3s2 3p6 4s2 3d10 4p6 (the 5s and 4d levels are empty).

According to the crystal field theory, the colour of complexes result from transitions between incompletely filled d orbitals.

As a result of this, complexes with empty or completely filled d orbitals are colourless. Thus, [Y(H2O)6]3 is colourless according to the Crystal Field Theory.
