Answer:

Physical chemistry is the part of chemistry that has to do with the physical structure of compounds, and how they react with other matters and bonds that hold atoms together.

Explanation:

Hope that helps.

Explain why calcium (Ca) has a greater atomic radius than magnesium (Mg).
g100num [7]

Answer:

Magnesium nucleus will attract the electrons more toward it and therefore, shrinking the size of the atom. Magnesium atom is smaller than Calcium atom because Calcium has more electron ( 20e− ) which will occupy more energy levels ( n=4 for Calcium versus n=3 for Magnesium)

The salt formed by the reaction of the weak acid hydrocyanic acid, HCN, with the strong base potassium hydroxide is
iogann1982 [59]

Answer:

2.28 × 10^-3 mol/L

Explanation:

The equation for the equilibrium is

CN^- + H2O ⇌ HCN + OH^-

                    Ka = 4.9 × 10^-10

               KaKb = Kw

4.9 × 10^-10 Kb = 1.00 × 10^-14

                   Kb = (1.00 × 10^-14)/(4.9 × 10^-10) = 2.05 × 10^-5

Now, we can set up an ICE table

                     CN^- + H2O ⇌ HCN + OH^-

I/(mol/L)      0.255                     0         0

C/(mol/L)       -x                        +x        +x

E/(mol/L)  0.255 - x                   x         x

Ka = x^2/(0.255 - x) = 2.05 × 10^-5

Check for negligibility

0.255/(2.05 × 10^-5) = 12 000 > 400. ∴ x ≪ 0.255

    x^2 = 0.255(2.05 × 10^-5) = 5.20 × 10^-6

        x = sqrt(5.20 × 10^-6)    = 2.28 × 10^-3

[OH^-] = x mol/L                     = 2.28 × 10^-3 mol/L

Explain what keeps the electrons confined in the space surrounding the nucleus
vitfil [10]

Answer:

Electrons are trapped inside the atom because of the attraction forces with positively charged protons that are found in the nucleus.

Some type of path is necessary to join both half-cells in order for electron flow to occur.
klemol [59]

The given statement, some type of path is necessary to join both half-cells in order for electron flow to occur, is true.

Explanation:

Flow of electrons is possible with the help of a conducting medium like metal wire.

A laboratory device which helps in completion of oxidation and reduction-half reactions of a galvanic or voltaic cell is known as salt bridge. Basically, this salt bridge helps in the flow of electrons from anode to cathode and vice-versa.

If salt bridge is not present in an electrochemical cell, the electron neutrality will not be maintained and hence, flow of electrons will not take place.

Thus, we can conclude that the statement some type of path is necessary to join both half-cells in order for electron flow to occur, is true.
