Answer:

add 2 extra electrons

Explanation:

This is because -2 means 2 electrons are gained while +2 means it lost two electrons.

An aqueous CsCl solution is 8.00 wt% CsCl and has a density of 1.0643 g/mL at 20°C. What is the boiling point of this solution?

umka2103 [35]

<u>Answer:</u> The boiling point of solution is 100.53

<u>Explanation:</u>

We are given:

8.00 wt % of CsCl

This means that 8.00 grams of CsCl is present in 100 grams of solution

Mass of solvent = (100 - 8) g = 92 grams

The equation used to calculate elevation in boiling point follows:

$\Delta T_b=\text{Boiling point of solution}-\text{Boiling point of pure solution}$

To calculate the elevation in boiling point, we use the equation:

$\Delta T_b=iK_bm$

Or,

$\text{Boiling point of solution}-\text{Boiling point of pure solution}=i\times K_b\times \frac{m_{solute}\times 1000}{M_{solute}\times W_{solvent}\text{ (in grams)}}$

where,

Boiling point of pure solution = 100°C

i = Vant hoff factor = 2 (For CsCl)

$K_b$ = molal boiling point elevation constant = 0.51°C/m

$m_{solute}$ = Given mass of solute (CsCl) = 8.00 g

$M_{solute}$ = Molar mass of solute (CsCl) = 168.4 g/mol

$W_{solvent}$ = Mass of solvent (water) = 92 g

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Boiling point of solution}-100=2\times 0.51^oC/m\times \frac{8.00\times 1000}{168.4g/mol\times 92}\\\\\text{Boiling point of solution}=100.53^oC$

Hence, the boiling point of solution is 100.53

Which of these reactions involves an acid and a covalent base?

Juli2301 [7.4K]

I think the correct answer would be D. The reaction that involves an acid and a covalent base would be the reaction of sulfuric acid and water or H2SO4 + 2H2O → 2H3O+ + SO42– . The acid would be H2SO4 and the covalent base would be H2O since it is being held by covalent bonds and when in solution it will have equal amounts of OH- and H+ ions.

Consider the equilibrium

Kamila [148]

Answer:

The answers are in the explanation

Explanation:

For the equilibrium:

B(aq) + H₂O(l) ⇌ HB⁺(aq) + OH⁻(aq).

By LeChatelier's principle, the increase in the concentration of a reactant (for example) at equilibrium will change the system counteracting the increasing producing more product.

Thus,

A) Will the equilibrium constant for the reaction increase, decrease, or stay the same? Why? .

The equilibrium constant is a thermodynamic constant that stay the same with the addition of a compound.

B) Will the concentration of HB⁺(aq) increase, decrease, or stay the same? Why?

By LeChatelier's principle, the addition of B will induce the formation of more HB⁺(aq) increasing the concentration.

C) Will the pH of the solution increase, decrease, or stay the same? Why?

As the addition of B induce the increasing of OH⁻, the pH of the solution will increase.

I hope it helps!
