According to cell theory, how are bubble algae, or sea pearls, made?

1 answer:

8 0

Answer: Bubble algae are caused by lighting, nutrients and bubble algae spores. The spores were probably on the live rock. The lighting is a side effect of trying to keep photosynthetic corals.

Rank the following acids in order of increasing acid strength. Key: Weakening of hydrogen bond and stability of resulting anion.

raketka [301]

Explanation:

The given compounds are oxyacids and in these compounds more is the electronegativity of the central atom more will be its acidic strength.

This is because more is the electronegativity of the central atom more will be the polarity of OH bond. As a result, the compound can readily lose $H^{+}$ ion.

Also, more is the electronegativity of central atom more will be the stability of conjugate base formed.

Thus, we can conclude that given compounds are arranged in increasing acid strength as follows.

HOI < $HOBr_{2}$ < $HOCl_{3}$ < HOF

A chemist titrates of a hypochlorous acid solution with solution at . Calculate the pH at equivalence. The of hypochlorous acid

const2013 [10]

The question is incomplete, here is the complete question:

A chemist titrates 110.0 mL of a 0.2412 M hypochlorous acid (HCIO) solution with 0.0613 M NaOH solution at 25°C. Calculate the pH at equivalence. The pKa of hypochlorous acid is 7.50. Round your answer to 2 decimal places

Answer: The pH of the solution is 10.09

Explanation:

To calculate the volume of base, we use the equation given by neutralization reaction:

$n_1M_1V_1=n_2M_2V_2$

where,

$n_1,M_1\text{ and }V_1$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of acid which is $HClO$

$n_2,M_2\text{ and }V_2$ are the n-factor, molarity and volume of base which is NaOH.

We are given:

$n_1=1\\M_1=0.2412M\\V_1=110.0mL\\n_2=1\\M_2=0.0613M\\V_2=?mL$

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$1\times 0.2412\times 110.0=1\times 0.0613\times V_2\\\\V_2=\frac{1\times 0.2412\times 110.0}{1\times 0.0613}=432.8mL$

At equivalence, the number of moles of acid is equal to the number of moles of base. Also, the moles of salt which is NaClO will also be the same.

To calculate the number of moles for given molarity, we use the equation:

$\text{Molarity of the solution}=\frac{\text{Moles of solute}\times 1000}{\text{Volume of solution (in mL)}}$ .....(1)

For HClO:

Molarity of HClO solution = 0.2412 M

Volume of solution = 110.0 mL

Putting values in equation 1, we get:

$0.2412M=\frac{\text{Moles of HClO}\times 1000}{110}\\\\\text{Moles of HClO}=\frac{(0.2412\times 110)}{1000}=0.026532mol$

For NaClO:

Moles of NaClO = 0.026532 moles

Volume of solution = [432.8 + 110] mL = 542.8 mL

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$\text{Molarity of NaClO}=\frac{0.026532\times 1000}{542.8}=0.0489M$

To calculate the pH of the solution, we use the equation:

$pH=7+\frac{1}{2}[pK_a+\log C]$

where,

$pK_a$ = negative logarithm of weak acid which is hypochlorous acid = 7.50

C = concentration of the salt = 0.0489 M

Putting values in above equation, we get:

$pH=7+\frac{1}{2}[7.50+\log (0.0489)]\\\\pH=7+3.09=10.09$

Hence, the pH of the solution is 10.09

Chlorine is a very reactive non-metals. Why

Vadim26 [7]

Answer:

Chlorine is a very reactive non metals because this element don't form any known chemical compound.

Explanation:

Chlorine atoms have a lot of valance electrons without being complete on its own, so it has a greater need to seek it's conjugates. That's called electronegativity. Halogens are highly reactive because of their electronegativity.
