HBr and HF are both monoprotic Arrhenius acids—that is, in aqueous solution, they dissociate and ionize to give hydrogen ions. A strong acid ionizes completely; a weak acid ionizes partially.

In this case, HBr, being a strong acid, would ionize completely in water to yield H+ and Br- ions. However, HF, being a weak acid, would ionize only to a limited extent: some of the HF molecules will ionize into H+ and F- ions, but most of the HF will remain undissociated.

pH is, by definition, a measurement of the concentration of hydrogen ions in solution (pH = -log[H+]). A higher concentration of hydrogen ions gives a lower pH, while a lower concentration of hydrogen ions gives a higher pH. At 25 °C, a pH of 7 indicates a neutral solution; a pH less than 7 indicates an acidic solution; and a pH greater than 7 indicates a basic solution.

If we have equal concentrations of HBr and HF, then the HBr solution will have a greater concentration of hydrogen ions in solution than the HF solution. Consequently, the pH of the HBr solution will be less than the pH of the HF solution.

Choice A is incorrect: Strong acids like HBr dissociate completely, not partially.

Choice B is incorrect: While the initial concentration of HBr and HF are the same, the H+ concentration in the HBr solution is greater. Since pH is a function of H+ concentration, the pH of the two solutions cannot be the same.

Choice C is correct: A greater H+ concentration gives a lower pH value. The HBr solution has the greater H+ concentration. Thus, the pH of the HBr solution would be less than that of the HF solution.

Choice D is incorrect for the reason why choice C is correct.

Which solution contains the smallest number of moles of sucrose (c12h22o11, molar mass = 342.30 g/mol)? 2,000 ml of a 5.0 × 10–5
Iteru [2.4K]

> 2,000 mL of a 5.0 × 10–5% (w/v) sucrose solution 

5.0 × 10–3 g/mL * 2000 mL * (1 mol / 342.30 g) = 0.0292 mol

<span>
> 2,000 mL of a 5.0 ppm sucrose solution</span>

5 grams / 1000000 mL * 2000 mL* (1 mol / 342.30 g) = 0.0000292 mol

 <span>
> 20 mL of a 5.0 M sucrose solution </span>

5.0 M * 0.020 L = 0.1 mol

 

 

Answer:

What is the number of electrons will chlorine most likely gain/lose
LuckyWell [14K]

Gain 1.

This is because of Chlorine's placement on the periodic table. Chlorine is a Halogen, thus being located in group 17 or 7A. This means it is one of the closest elements to being a Noble Gas or group 18/8A.

Chlorine has 7 valence electrons, and in order for it to become a Noble Gas, it needs 8. Cl- is typically the symbol used to represent this as Chlorine needs to gain an electrons instead of lose; once Chlorine gains the electron, it will be stable.

This also means that Chlorine has a high ionization energy or, in simpler terms, it would be difficult to remove an electron from Chlorine.

Hope this helps!
