What does hydrochloric acid do

Chemistry
2 answers:
marta [7]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Hydrochloric acid (HCl) is commonly used for the neutralization of alkaline agents, as a bleaching agent, in food, textile, metal, and rubber industries. It is neutralized if released into the soil and it rapidly hydrolyzes when exposed to water. Skin exposure to low concentrations of hydrogen chloride gas or hydrochloric acid causes erythema and inflammation of the skin whereas high concentrations can cause severe chemical burns to the skin and mucous membranes.

An inverse relationship can be represented by:<br> a straight line<br> a bar chart
kolezko [41]

Answer:

An inverse relationship can neither be represented by a straight line nor by a bar chart. But it can be represented by "xy = k"

Explanation:

                   Inverse relation is used for the values which are inversely related to each other. For example: Let suppose you have a value x and y. Then an increase in the value of x will result in the decrease of value y. Mathematically it is represented as,

                                                         x  ∝  1 / y

Where;

              ∝ = proportionality

Replacing the proportionality sign by a constant value "k" the relation becomes,

                                                         x  =  k / y

Solving for k,

                                                         x y  =  k

Conclusion:

                  Hence, an inverse relationship can be represented by "xy = k"

Will a precipitate of magnesium fluoride form when 300. mL of 1.1 × 10 –3 M MgCl 2 are added to 500. mL of 1.2 × 10 –3 M NaF? [K
Tju [1.3M]

Answer:

No precipitate is formed.

Explanation:

Hello,

In this case, given the dissociation reaction of magnesium fluoride:

MgF_2(s)\rightleftharpoons Mg^{2+}+2F^-

And the undergoing chemical reaction:

MgCl_2+2NaF\rightarrow MgF_2+2NaCl

We need to compute the yielded moles of magnesium fluoride, but first we need to identify the limiting reactant for which we compute the available moles of magnesium chloride:

n_{MgCl_2}=0.3L*1.1x10^{-3}mol/L=3.3x10^{-4}molMgCl_2

Next, the moles of magnesium chloride consumed by the sodium fluoride:

n_{MgCl_2}^{consumed}=0.5L*1.2x10^{-3}molNaF/L*\frac{1molCaCl_2}{2molNaF} =3x10^{-4}molMgCl_2

Thus, less moles are consumed by the NaF, for which the moles of formed magnesium fluoride are:

n_{MgF_2}=3x10^{-4}molMgCl_2*\frac{1molMgF_2}{1molMgCl_2}=3x10^{-4}molMgF_2

Next, since the magnesium fluoride to magnesium and fluoride ions is in a 1:1 and 1:2 molar ratio, the concentrations of such ions are:

[Mg^{2+}]=\frac{3x10^{-4}molMg^{+2}}{(0.3+0.5)L} =3.75x10^{-4}M

[F^-]=\frac{2*3x10^{-4}molMg^{+2}}{(0.3+0.5)L} =7.5x10^{-4}M

Thereby, the reaction quotient is:

Q=(3.75x10^{-4})(7.5x10^{-4})^2=2.11x10^{-10}

In such a way, since Q<Ksp we say that the ions tend to be formed, so no precipitate is formed.

Regards.

Which of these solutions is the most basic?
dalvyx [7]
<h2>Question↷</h2>

Which of these solutions is the most basic?

[OH-] = 4.3 x 10-9 M

[OH-] = 2.8 x 10-11 M

[OH-] = 6.7 x 10-10 M

[OH-] = 1.0 x 10-5 M

<h2>Answer↷</h2>

  • <u>[OH-] = 1.0 x 10-5 M</u> ✓

<h2>Solution↷</h2>

[OH-] = 4.3 x 10-9 M

  • [OH-] = 4.3 x 10^-9 M
  • pOH = - log [OH^1-]
  • pOH = - log [4.3 x 10^-9]
  • pOH = 8.36
  • pH = 14- 8.36
  • pH = 5.64

_______________________________________

[OH-] = 2.8 x 10-11 M

  • [OH-] = 2.8 x 10^-11 M
  • pOH = - log [OH^1-]
  • pOH = - log [2.8 x 10^-11 ]
  • pOH = 10.55
  • pH = 14-10.55
  • pH = 3.45

_______________________________________

[OH-] = 6.7 x 10-10 M

  • [OH-] = 6.7 x 10^-10 M
  • pOH = - log [OH^1-]
  • pOH = - log [6.7 x 10^-10]
  • pOH = 9.17
  • pH = 14-9.17
  • pH = 4.83

_______________________________________

[OH-] = 1.0 x 10-5 M

  • [OH-] = 1.0 x 10-5 M
  • pOH = - log [OH^1-]
  • pOH = - log [1.0 x 10^-5 ]
  • pOH = 5
  • pH = 14-5
  • pH = 9

_______________________________________

we know that , the solution with <u>pH > 7</u> is termed as basic and more the pH ,more the basicity, hence ,the solution with the highest pH would be the strongest base out of these all which is

<u>[OH-] = 1.0 x 10-5 M</u> with pH = 9

(6 points) Alice owns 20 grams of a radioactive isotope that has a half-life of ln(4) years. (a) Find an equation for the mass m
Cloud [144]

<u>Answer:</u> The equation to calculate the mass of remaining isotope is [A]=\frac{20}{10^{-0.217t}}

<u>Explanation:</u>

The equation used to calculate rate constant from given half life for first order kinetics:

t_{1/2}=\frac{0.693}{k}

where,

t_{1/2} = half life of the reaction = \ln 4=1.386yrs

Putting values in above equation, we get:

k=\frac{0.693}{1.386yrs}=0.5yrs^{-1}

Rate law expression for first order kinetics is given by the equation:

k=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{[A_o]}{[A]}

where,

k = rate constant = 0.5yr^{-1}

t = time taken for decay process

[A_o] = initial amount of the sample = 20 grams

[A] = amount left after decay process =  ? grams

Putting values in above equation, we get:

0.5=\frac{2.303}{t}\log\frac{20}{[A]}

[A]=\frac{20}{10^{-0.217t}}

Hence, the equation to calculate the mass of remaining isotope is [A]=\frac{20}{10^{-0.217t}}
