3 0

The Ph scale can tell you if a substance is an acid a base or neutral by

a Ph scale runs from a Ph of 1-14. if a substance has a Ph less than 7 (Ph<7) the substance is said to be a an acid

if a substance has a ph greater than 7 (Ph>7) the substance is said to be a base

if a substance has a Ph equal to 7(Ph=7) the substance is said to be neutral

G determine the concentration of an hbr solution if a 45.00 ml aliquot of the solution yields 0.6485 g agbr when added to a solu

Sunny_sXe [5.5K]

The molecular weight of silver bromide (AgBr) is 187.77 g/mole. The presence of the ions in solution can be shown as- AgBr (insoluble) ⇄ $Ag^{+}$ + $Br^{-1}$ .

45.00 mL of the aliquot contains 0.6485 g of AgBr. Thus 1000 mL of the aliquot contains $\frac{0.6485}{45}$ ×1000 = 14.411 gm-mole. Thus the solubility product $K_{sp}$ of AgBr = [ $Ag^{+}$ ]× $Br^{-}$ .

Or, 5.0× $10^{-13}$ = $S^{2}$ (the given value of solubility product of AgBr is 5.0× $10^{-13}$ and the charge of the both ions are same).

Thus S = (5.00× $10^{-13}$ ) $^{1/2}$ = 7.071× $10^{-7}$ g/mL.

Thus the concentration of Br $^{-1}$ or HBr is 7.071× $10^{-7}$ g/mL.

If the oxidation number of an atom decreases, the atom has undergone oxidation.

Bumek [7]

Oxidation is a process when an atom, a group of atoms, or an ion loses electrons.

For example,

Cu⁰ -------> Cu⁺² + 2e⁻. This is an oxidation process.

As we can see an oxidation number was 0, and it became +2. The oxidation number is increased. Oxidation number of the atom, when an atom has undergone oxidation, increases.

So, answer is b.False.

Which of the following best describes the difference in bonding between two hydrogen atoms and two carbon atoms?

valentinak56 [21]

Answer :

2. Hydrogen forms bonds through the overlap of 1s atomic orbitals and the sharing of electrons between atoms. Carbon forms bonds through the overlapping of sp hybrid atomic orbitals and the sharing of electrons between carbon atoms.

Explanation:

The H-H bond is formed by the overlap of two 1s orbitals and the sharing of electrons between the two atoms.

A carbon atom must use the overlap of hybridized atomic orbitals and the sharing of electrons to bond with another carbon atoms.

1. is wrong because H can use only its 1s orbital for bonding.

3. is wrong because C must share electrons to form a carbon-carbon bond.

4. is wrong because C does NOT use overlapping of 2s orbitals for bonding. It uses the overlap of hybridized orbitals.

5. is wrong because H must share electrons to form an H-H bond.
