The strength of an acid is affected by the polarity of the bond connected to the acidic hydrogen. The more highly polarized this

bond, the more easily the hydrogen is ionized. Electronegative atoms or groups of atoms present in the structure of an acid can act to withdraw electrons and produce additional polarization. Two common groups of acids to which this principle can be applied are oxoacids and carboxylic acids. In the latter group, the length of the hydrocarbon chain in a carboxylic acid has very little effect on acid strength Longer chains may slightly diminish acidity. Bases act as hydrogen ion acceptors because of the unshared electron pass in their structure. Any group present in a base that withdraws electrons makes these electron pairs less available to accept a hydrogen ion. In contrast, any group that can act as an electron donating group such as hydrocarbon groups (usually represented as II) can increase the base strength. Thus, the addition of electronegative atoms or groups of atoms to the structure of a base decreases the base strength and electron donating groups increase base strength. Many common weak bases are derivatives of ammonia, in which H atom(s) of NH_2 are replaced with other groups.
Arrange the following oxoacids in order of decreasing acid strength. Rank from strongest to weakest acid.
1. HBrO
2. HClO
3. HClO2
4. HClO3

Answer:

The answer is "\bold{HClO_3 > HClO_2 >HClO > HBrO}"

Explanation:

We arrange oxoacids to decrease the intensity of acids in this question. Or we may conclude all this from strongest to weakest acids they order oxoacids, that's why above given order is correct.

How many liters of water can be made from 55 grams of oxygen gas and an excess of hydrogen at a pressure of 12.4 atm and a tempe
polet [3.4K]
First, we need the no.of moles of O2 = mass/molar mass of O2
                                                             = 55 g / 32 g/mol
                                                             = 1.72 mol
from the balanced equation of the reaction:
2H2 (g) + O2(g) → 2H2O(g)
we can see that the molar ratio between O2: H2O = 1: 2 
So we can get the no.of moles of H2O = 2 * moles of O2
                                                                  = 2 * 1.72 mol
                                                                  = 3.44 mol
So by substitution by this value in ideal gas formula:
PV = nRT

when P = 12.4 atm  & n H2O = 3.44 mol & R= 0.0821 & T = 85 + 273=358K

12.4 atm *V = 3.44 * 0.0821 * 358 = 8.15 L
 ∴ V ≈ 8.2 L

For a reaction at equilibrium, which change can increase the rates of the forward and reverse reactions?a decrease in the concen
Monica [59]
Question requires a change resulting in an increase in both forward and reverse reactions. Now lets discuss options one by one and see there impact on rate of reactions.

1) <span>A decrease in the concentration of the reactants:
                                                                                       
When concentration of reactant is decreased it will shift the equilibrium in Backward direction, so resulting in increasing the backward reaction and decreasing the forward direction. Hence, this option is incorrect.

2) </span><span>A decrease in the surface area of the products:
                                                                               Greater the surface Area greater is the chances of collision and greater will be the rate of reaction. As the surface area of products is decreased it will not favor the backward reaction. Hence again this statement is incorrect according to given statement.

3) </span><span>An increase in the temperature of the system:
                                                                             An increase in temperature will shift the reaction in endothermic side. Hence, if the reaction is endothermic, an increase in temperature will increase the rate of forward direction or if the reaction is exothermic it will increase the rate of reverse direction. Hence, this option is correct according to given statement.

4) </span><span>An increase in the activation energy of the forward reaction:
                                                                                                   An increase in Activation energy will decrease the rate of reaction, either it is forward or reverse. So this is incorrect.

Result:
          Hence, the correct answer is,"</span>An increase in the temperature of the system".

Which statement describes J.J. Thomson’s plum-pudding model of the atom?
ra1l [238]
Option C: the electrons are embedded in a positive sphere.

As we know that was a wrong model and nowadays the electrons are considered to be around the nucleus, in regions called orbitals.
